[Gdal-dev] CSV of Linestring

[Jørn Vegard Røsnes]

Hi all,

I have no luck converting a CSV file of Linestrings to a shapefile.
Could someone give me some clues?

This is the CSV:

coor
LINESTRING (-233950.35 6518319.86,-213912.58 6338485.11)
LINESTRING (-222837.63 6329611.25,-222677.18 6329330.43)
LINESTRING (-222611.28 6329508.51,-222507.84 6329300.95)


This is the VRT:

<OGRVRTDataSource>
    <OGRVRTLayer name="internationals">
        <SrcDataSource 
relativeToVRT="0">/path_to/international_test.csv</SrcDataSource>
        <SrcLayer>international_test</SrcLayer>
        <GeometryType>wkbLineString</GeometryType>
        <GeometryField encoding="WKT" field="coor"/>
        <LayerSRS>epsg:32633</LayerSRS>
    </OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>

Error:
~/FWTools/bin_safe/ogr2ogr international international_test.vrt
ERROR 1: Failed to open datasource 
`/home/jorn/ogr_trials/international_test.csv'.
FAILURE:

I'm using FWTools 0.9.9.
Thanks
