<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear mailinglist,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'd like to qurey some data with an expression in
the classobject of the map-file. The qurey is a string that contains double
quotes. I can't modify this string because it is the definition of a marker
symbol out of MapInfo stored in Oracle. I got no other attribute for the
query. How can I tell the Mapserver to extract the features to be draw with
this marker?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The strings to search for looks like
this:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Symbol (12, 1, "ESRI IGL Font20", 1)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Expression for a string-query starts and ends
with double quotes, so that the whole expression would look like
this:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>EXPRESSION "Symbol (12, 1, "ESRI IGL Font20",
1)"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The start and the end quotes are writen to the
map-file by the setexpression function of PHP-MapScript. So ich can't change
them.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If anyone knows a solution for this problem I would
be very happy to participate.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks a lot</FONT></DIV>
