Tile index with gdal

[Ed McNierney]

Joan -

It looks like you have a tile4ms that was built WITHOUT the wildcard command-line expansion in stdargv.obj.

A more literal translation of Armin's command line would be:

for %f in (c:\foto\*.tif) do tile4ms tilefile.shp %f

Which will work fine, adding the files one at a time.

Thanks for your response,

But I can't get it. I don'tknow what I'm doing wrong!!!!

Now I've tried to use Tile4ms. I execute DOS

C:\ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin>tile4ms tilefile.shp c:\foto\*.tif

And appears "Unable to create c:\foto\*.tif.shp.shp (.shx)" error.

What's wrong?
