[gdal-dev] join CSV to shapefile, column width question

[keith lewis]

Hello,

I'm joining tabular data (csv) to a shapefile. The new String fields are
always 80 char wide. I tried to define the column width by creating a .CSVT
file in this manner.

"String (100)",String (100)"

However, this has no effect on the new columns that are joined to the
shapefile. The Shapefile specification allows String fields up to 255 char.
How can I create String fields greater than 80 char? Thanks

Keith
