![]() | ![]() | ![]() | The read Command |
The read command reads a data file and launches the graphical interface (for its meaning in GPSMan scripts see the exec command).
read FORMAT [PARAMS] [TYPES] PATHwhere:
FORMAT [IN-PARAMS] is the input file format and its
parameters (if any); use show
formats for a list of the currently accepted
formats;
IN-TYPES are the data types to read; the possible types
depend on the format and some formats impose that there is a
single data type per file; they may be absent if the format
requires a unique data type or if the files can have items of
different types; all can be used as an abbreviation of
WP RT TR;
PATH is the path to the file to read from, or, in the
case of the Shapefile format, the path to the Shapefiles
basename (file extensions will be discarded). If the PATH
is stdin input will be from the standard input unless the
format is the Shapefile format (in which case the
command fails).
