[DebianGIS] problem to import vector data

[Poizot Emmanuel <poizot@cnam.fr>]

Hi all,

I try to import vector data from text file with v.in.ascii command
The text file format is very simple :
x1|y2
x2|y2
....
I try the following command:
v.in.ascii input=coords.txt output=thevect
it works but I get the output :

Maximum input row length: 19
Maximum number of columns: 2
Minimum number of columns: 2
Building topology ...
0 primitives registered
0 areas built
0 isles built
Attaching islands:
Attaching centroids: Topology was built.
Number of nodes     :   0
Number of primitives:   0
Number of points    :   0
Number of lines     :   0
Number of boundaries:   0
Number of centroids :   0
Number of areas     :   0
Number of isles     :   0

witch seems that it reads well the number of lines and columns of the 
file, but didn't create any points.
I do not have any idear of what's wrong here.

regards
