DESCRIPTION


g.findfile is designed for Bourne shell or Python scripts that need to search for mapset
elements, including: raster, vector maps, region definitions and imagery groups.

The list of element names to search for is not fixed; any subdirectory of the mapset
directory is a valid element name.

However, the user can find the list of standard GRASS element names in the file
$GISBASE/etc/element_list. This is the file which g.remove, g.rename and g.copy use to
determine which files need to be deleted/renamed/copied for a given entity type.

NOTES


g.findfile writes four lines to standard output:
name=’file_name
mapset=’mapset_name
file=’unix_filename
fullname=’grass_fullname
The output is Bash commands to set the variable name to the GRASS data base file name,
mapset to the mapset in which the file resides, and file to the full UNIX path name for
the named file. These variables may be set in the Bash as follows:
eval `g.findfile element=name mapset=name file=name`

For example (raster map):
eval `g.findfile element=cell file=elevation`
If the specified file does not exist, the variables will be set as follows:
name=
mapset=
fullname=
file=
The following is a way to test for this case:
if [ ! "$file" ]
then
exit 1
fi

PYTHON


See Python Scripting Library for more info.

Note: The Python shell in the wxGUI can be used for entering the following code:

import grass.script as gcore
gcore.find_file(’elevation’, element = ’cell’)
