from me if you promise to build a QGIS plugin for the purpose ;-)
<br>

Well, I'm not building a plugin - but rather a bash script, both to
keep it simple, and to further my knowledge.<br>
<br>
So,<br>
My script is working insofar as I am getting a VRT that QGIS (v2.5.0
rev b43d131 and gdal/ogr 1.11.0) loads, <u>but it comes in with
zero elements.</u><br>
For guidance I am using <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.gdal.org/drv_vrt.html">http://www.gdal.org/drv_vrt.html</a><br>
<br>
I have tried wrapping each SHP file in it's own <OGRVRTLayer
name:shpname>, and below is the version having a global
OGRVRTLayer name.<br>

Can someone please give me some pointers as to what is incorrect or
missing in my VRT file?<br>
