Håvard,<br><br>Currently there is no option for this in ogr2ogr but this looks like a usable feature. You can file a ticket at <a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/newticket">http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/newticket</a> for this enhancement.<br>

With ogr2ogr is it also possible to deselect("reverse selecting") fields?<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

For shapefiles you won't have to mention the .shp file. Opening just the .dbf file will be enough.<br>
Similar thing can be done using ogr2ogr by specifying the -select option without the specified field's name. <a href="http://www.gdal.org/ogr2ogr.html" target="_blank">http://www.gdal.org/ogr2ogr.html</a><br>

OK; what it the best alternative method in Python etc. to delete shapefile fields? Using the shapefile functions in R (via python is one alternative).<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/1/1 Even Rouault <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:even.rouault@mines-paris.org" target="_blank">even.rouault@mines-paris.org</a>></span><div>
