[gdal-dev] ogr2ogr - output WKT to console?

[Elijah Robison]

Hi Devs,

When troubleshooting geodata integrity issues, we sometimes use ogr2ogr 
to push WKT expressions to a .csv file using a script like I show below. 
It uses an ogr sql statement to grab a single feature from a raw 
shapefile data source, then it saves the output to a CSV:

ogr2ogr -f "CSV" "C:\xData\CountyData\Shps\OriginalParcelCSV" 
"C:\xData\CountyData\Shps\parcel_polygons.shp" -sql "select * from 
parcel_polygons where id= 9080" -lco "GEOMETRY=AS_WKT" -lco 
"LINEFORMAT=CRLF" -lco "SEPARATOR=SEMICOLON"

As our needs in this situation are very transient, I'm curious if it is 
possible to output the WKT directly to the console?

Very Best,
