v.in.e00

[templar112]

I'm new to Grass GIS, but it appears that the v.in.e00 script has not been updated to match the new input parameters format.

I downloaded an E00 file from ​http://www.geocomm.com/ just as a test to see if I could import some data.

The input parameters it expects are as follows:

optionsfile which should be optionsinput optionsvect which should be optionsoutput

Also, the script requires the following additional files: avcimport.exe e00conv.exe

The former file exists under the "extrabin" folder, but I had to download the e00conv binary myself. Maybe it should be included as well?

The next issue is the following line:

#try_remove(info)

It says that info is not a valid global object or something like that.

Finally, the following statement also doesn't work:

# write cmd history: grass.vector_history(name)

It complains about vector_history not being a valid function.

I don't have the expertise to fix this, but maybe some with python and Grass knowledge can! :)

I fixed it in r65055 in trunk. Could you test? Or give me e00 file to test?

Here are some E00 data:

I backported the changes in r65125. The rest is to decide if e00conv should be in extrabin folder.

What do you mean precisely?

That e00conv.exe binary should be distributed with GRASS the same way as avcimport.exe is. It can be downloaded from ​http://avce00.maptools.org/e00compr/index.html

done, should be part of tomorrow's build. Martin

I also updated msys-grass osgeo4w package, so both installers (standalone and osgeo4w) should install e00conv.exe. Testing welcomed. Is there anything else open in this ticket?

Seems to be solved, closing. Feel free to reopen if needed.
