man g.mlist () - Apply regular expressions and wildcards to g.list
NAME
g.mlist - Apply regular expressions and wildcards to g.list
SYNOPSIS
g.mlist
g.mlist help
g.mlist [-rm] type=string [mapset=string[,string,...]] [sep=string] [pattern=string]
Flags:
- "-r
- use regular expression instead of wildcard
- "-m
- print mapset name
Parameters:
- "type=string
- data type Options: rast,rast3d,oldvect,vect,asciivect,icon,labels,sites,region,region3d,group,3dview Default: rast
- "mapset=string[,string,...]
- mapset(s) to list (default: current mapset search path)
- "sep=string
- output separator (default: newline)
- "pattern=string
- map name search pattern, must be 'quoted'. (default: all) Default: *
DESCRIPTION
g.mlist is an extended version of g.list which provides regular-expression and wildcard support. g.mlist will only print map names and an optional separator, without extraneous output. In addition, map search is also available.
EXAMPLES
Wildcards:
List all vector maps starting with letter "r":
g.mlist type=vect pattern="r*"
List certain raster maps with one variable character/number:
g.mlist type=rast pattern="N45E00?.meters"
Regular expressions:
Print out all soils map with "soils" in their name:
g.mlist -r type=rast pattern='^soils'
Print out "tmp" if "tmp" raster map exists:
g.mlist -r pattern='^tmp$'
Print out "tmp0" ..."tmp9" if corresponding vector map exists (each map name linewise):
g.mlist -r type=vect pattern='^tmp[0-9]$'
Print out "tmp0" ..."tmp9" if corresponding vector map exists (each map name comma separated):
g.mlist -r type=vect sep=, pattern='^tmp[0-9]$'
This may be useful for other programs' parameter input (e.g. r.series).
