[gdal-dev] Regarding Attribute corruption while reading KML file

[Abhinav]

I am having Issue in reading attributes of kml file with Gdal.
When I am running gdalinfo in windows, it displays

Had to open data source read-only.
INFO: Open of `D:\Users\DMS\Desktop\Airbase.kml'
      using driver `KML' successful.
1: AIR_FIELD (3D Point)

Is it the right driver for the windows?

Attached with this is the file I am trying to read.

Thanks and regards
Abhinav Goyal

With such an imprecise description (i.e no sample data file provided), it is difficult to know...

For KML, you need to have GDAL compiled with the LIBKML driver (not the base KML driver). Check the first lines of the output of "ogrinfo XXXXXX.kml". It must report:

INFO: Open of 'XXXXXX.kml'
      using driver `LIBKML' successful.

For GML, this should work for most cases, but there might be caveats depending of your data file.

Best regards,
