[gdal-dev] gdaltindex and netCDF files

[Roger André]

Hi All,

Is it possible to use gdaltindex to create a shapefile index of a
group of netCDF files?  Specifivally, I need to index a specific
netCDF variable that exists in all of the files.  I just tried running
it on a single file, using the variable selection syntax that seems to
work with the other gdal utilities, but can't seem to make it work.

gdaltindex netcdf_index.shp
./NETCDF:"N35E115_5x5_19970101000000_20070102230000.ttnc":elev

ERROR 4: `./NETCDF:N35E115_5x5_19970101000000_20070102230000.ttnc:elev'
does not exist in the file system,
and is not recognised as a supported dataset name.

Unable to open ./NETCDF:N35E115_5x5_19970101000000_20070102230000.ttnc:elev,
skipping.

Thanks,

Roger
