[Gdal-dev] gdaltindex on numerous files

[Kralidis,Tom [Burlington]]

Ivan,
 
Thanks for the info.  This did the trick:
 
$ find $PWD -name "*.tif" -exec gdaltindex srtm-index3 {} \;
 
Thanks
 
..Tom

	Tom,
	
	UNIX handles wildcard different than Windows. It will expand it and then
	rebuild your command line. That is way it could be to long.
	
	You should make UNIX create one command for each file found using
	something like:
	
	$ find $PWD -name '*.tif' -exec gdaltindex ... \;
	
	Good luck,
	
	Ivan

	Hi,
	
	I'm trying to create a MapServer tileindex via gdaltindex, where I would
	like to store the absolute paths to each raster image in the output
	tileindex.
	
	Trying this gives me the following error:
	
	$ gdaltindex srtm-index2 $PWD/*.tif
	-bash: /usr/local/bin/gdaltindex: Argument list too long
	
	Does gdaltindex take a filelist as an argument?  Trying:
	
	
	$ gdaltindex srtm-index2 < some_file
	$ gdaltindex srtm-index2 some_file
	
	...didn't work.
	
	Any advice would be much appreciated.
	
	Thanks
	
	..Tom
