Re: [Gdal-dev] ogrinfo / ogr2ogr and vmap under windows?hi dan, hi
christian,

thanks for your help, both tips (script/batchfiles and double quotes) were
very useful for me.

  hello holger,
  i thinks its a windows matter, for windows you have to use double quotes.
here are a few examples i have noted for myself

  #OGR and vpf (datapath: D:/user/Data/NGA/v0eur/vmaplv0/eurnasia,
"gltp:/vrf/" has to be added)
  ogrinfo -ro gltp:/vrf/D:/user/Data/NGA/v0eur/vmaplv0/eurnasia
  #important:: double quotes "" at "watrcrsl at hydro(*)_line"
  ogrinfo -so -al gltp:/vrf/D:/user/Data/NGA/v0eur/vmaplv0/eurnasia
"watrcrsl at hydro(*)_line"
  ogr2ogr watrcrsl.shp gltp:/vrf/D:/user/Data/NGA/v0eur/vmaplv0/eurnasia
"watrcrsl at hydro(*)_line"

  greetings from munich
  christian

  Hi Holger,

  The following link could be of use to you. It describes how to load
  VMAP0 layers into PostGIS, but an intermediate step in the process is
  to convert the layers into shapefiles using ogr2ogr. A Windows batch
  script is provided as an attachment that does the VMAP0 to shapefile
  transformation.

  The link is:
