Wow thanks emily!<br>
<br>
That seems to work with Polygon's... but not with the bbox!<br>
<br>
Problem solvered!<br>

This simple example shows that the intersection of a polygon and
linestring returns a linestring.
  <br>
  <br>
select astext(intersection(geomfromtext('POLYGON((1 1, 1 2, 2 2, 2 1, 1
1))'), geomfromtext('LINESTRING(0 0, 3 3)')));

Thanks for that! Unless I am mistaken......
    <br>
    <br>
I think I am working out that the intersection function returns the
points at which the two geometry's intersect. This is the points at
which my LINESTRING enters and exits the BBox (hence the MULTIPOINT).
So I don't think that this really does what I want.

I'm finding some problems with my query (specifically the
"intersection" function).... I can select the entire LINESTRING that
intersects a BBox.... but  I can not limit the geometry of that
LINESTRING to the path through the BBox (like in the images below).
        <br>
        <br>
My Query to Find the entire LINESTRING(s) is:
        <br>
        <br>
    select the_geom  from route_service_transaction where
intersects(the_geom,
        <br>
    SetSRID('BOX3D(138.4925 -34.905393,138.493313
-34.90458)'::box3d,4283))
        <br>
        <br>
    This does sucessfully find the LINESTRINGs I am looking for,
however they
        <br>
    return the Complete LINESTRING inside AND outside the bbox. I only
want the
        <br>
    LINESTRING(s) that are inside the BBox.
        <br>
        <br>
    Returns:

      (SetSRID('BOX3D(138.4925 -34.905393,138.493313
-34.90458)'::box3d,4283))
        <br>
    )
        <br>
        <br>
    However this returns something very strange - ???MULIPOINT??? and :
        <br>
    Returns:
        <br>
    SRID=4283;MULTIPOINT(138.492602818432 -34.90458
1.7e-308,138.492662270567
        <br>
    -34.905393 1.7e-308)
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
Any idea how to "trim" or "limit" the LINESTRING in the first query to
that of the path through a BBox??? Also, maintaining this as a
LINESTRING not a multipoint.
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
Many Thanks!!!!
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
p.s. sorry if these questions are annoying, I am rather new to PostGIS!

          <br>
          <br>
Hey All,
          <br>
          <br>
I'm trying to extract some linestrings from a collection of
linestrings  and conditional on being within a BBox.
          <br>
          <br>
I will try and explain this best with some images...
          <br>
          <br>
My input looks like:
          <br>
          <br>
          <br>
          <br>
My desired output looks like this:
          <br>
          <br>
(note that I DO want the point where it intersects the bbox)
          <br>
          <br>
          <br>
          <br>
Is this at all possible to do? or do I need to start writing my own
postgis fuctions???
          <br>
          <br>
          <br>
          <br>
Thanks  in advance
