[Gdal-dev] question on gdal_translate

[francesco]

Hello,

Thought this might help.

Following this question (which I include below) which Frank kindly answered 
a while ago, I found that escaping the quote characters permits the 
gdal_translate utility to read an image from another disk.
So the example in the mail below would be:
  HDF4_SDS:ASTER_L1B:\"C:\image\":10
instead of
HDF4_SDS:ASTER_L1B:"C:\image":10

the whole command was:

D:\Documenti\work\programmazione\python\gaia/bindir/gdal_translate.exe 
-srcwin 0 0 404 310  -outsize 100% 100% -b 5 -ot Byte -scale 
HDF4_SDS:ASTER_L1B:\"C:\treviso\001\":8  newfile.tif

Cheers!
Francesco Pirotti
