[Gdal-dev] ogr2ogr -where "attribute=value" no spaces allowed?

[Dylan Beaudette]

Hi,

I am using the ogr2ogr command to extract features from a shapefile, based on 
a specific value for an attribute in the DBF by specifying a -where argument:

ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" -where "DESCRIPT=Blue Oak Woodland" 
Blue_Oak_Woodland.shp ../vegetation_polygon.shp

however, it seems like any spaces in the "DESCRIPT=Blue Oak Woodland" argument 
causes the following error;

ERROR 1: Syntax error, 2 extra tokens

...which seems to match the number of spaces in the "DESCRIPT=Blue Oak 
Woodland" argument..

is there any way to get around this problem?

thanks in advance,
