Moving raster to different mapset GRASS GIS

Question

I have a raster DEM that I created in one mapset but I would like to copy it to another mapset for another purpose.

alt text

Is this possible within GRASS or can I just copy some files over in the filesystem to the FloodModels mapset folder on my hard drive?

You can do this with g.copy (doc) or g.rename (doc), something like:

g.copy rast="shire_dem@BushFire,shire_dem@FloodModels"

You can do this from the command line, but its a little more tricky generally, since the files are spread across a few directories.

I get the following error:

Illegal filename. Character <@> not allowed.

GRASS_INFO_WARNING(9384,1): <shire_dem@FloodModels> is an illegal file name
GRASS_INFO_END(9384,1)

It's all good just needed to wrap it in quotes, so it became: rast="g.copy shire_dem@BushFire",shire_dem@FloodModels – Nathan W Nov 2 '10 at 6:53

Updated with the corrected information, thanks for the catch – scw Nov 2 '10 at 22:00

You need to indicate the dataformat, here raster. Additionally, don't define a target mapset since it always goes into the current mapset. So:

g.copy rast=shire_dem@BushFire,shire_dem
