NAME
x2sys_datalist - A generic data-extractor ascii or binary files
SYNOPSIS
x2sys_datalist file(s) [ -Ddeffile ] [ -Fname1,name2,... ] [ -H ] [
-M[flag] ] [ -Rwest/east/south/north ] [ -V ] [ -bo[s][n] ]
DESCRIPTION
x2sys_datalist reads one or more files and produces an ASCII [or
binary] table. The files can be of any format, which must be descriped
and passed with the -D option. You may limit the output to a geo-
graphic region, and insist that the output from several files be sepa-
rated by a multiple segment header. Only the named data fields will be
output [Default is all columns].
files Can be one or more binary or ASCII data files. To give a list of
names, use `cat list_of_files`.
OPTIONS
No space between the option flag and the associated arguments
-D Definition file for this data set. [x2sys.def]
-F Give a comma-separated list of column names as defined in the
definition file. [Default is all data columns].
-H Input file(s) has Header record(s). Number of header records
can be changed by editing your .gmtdefaults file. If used, GMT
default is 1 header record.
-V Selects verbose mode, which will send progress reports to stderr
[Default runs "silently"].
-O Selects Overlay plot mode [Default initializes a new plot sys-
tem].
EXAMPLES
To extract all data from the old-style GMT MGG file c2104.gmt, try:
x2sys_datalist c2104.gmt -Dgmt > myfile
To make x,y,topo input for blockmean and surface using all the files
listed in the file tracks.lis, but only the data that are inside the
specified area, and make output binary, try:
x2sys_datalist `cat tracks.lis` -Fx,y,topo -R-40/-30/25/35 -bo > all-
topo.xyz
