[gdal-dev] OGR Virtual Format: ERROR 1: Line 6: Didn't find element token after open angle bracket.

[Helmut Kudrnovsky]

Hi,

working with gdalinfo --version GDAL 1.11.2, released 2015/02/10 (OSGeo4W).

given a csv-file and a vrt dataset based upon the csv file:

<OGRVRTDataSource>
    <OGRVRTLayer name="gbif_gisinput">
        <SrcDataSource>gbif_gisinput.csv</SrcDataSource>
        <GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType> 
        <LayerSRS>WGS84</LayerSRS>
	<GeometryField encoding="PointFromColumns" x="decimallongitude"
y="decimallatitude"/>
	</OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>

this vrt vector dataset works:

ogrinfo gbif_to_gis.vrt
INFO: Open of `gbif_to_gis.vrt'
      using driver `VRT' successful.
1: gbif_gisinput (Point)

I can do e.g.:

ogr2ogr test2.shp gbif_to_gis_working.vrt

translate it to a working shapefile.

if I do some selecting by <SrcSQL>SELECT:

<OGRVRTDataSource>
    <OGRVRTLayer name="gbif_gisinput">
        <SrcDataSource>gbif_gisinput.csv</SrcDataSource>
        <GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType> 
        <LayerSRS>WGS84</LayerSRS>
	<GeometryField encoding="PointFromColumns" x="decimallongitude"
y="decimallatitude"/>
	<SrcSQL>SELECT * FROM gbif_gisinput WHERE (decimallongitude >= 0) AND
(decimallongitude <= 360)</SrcSQL>
	</OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>

I get following error message:

ogrinfo gbif_to_gis_not_working.vrt
ERROR 1: Line 6: Didn't find element token after open angle bracket.
ERROR 1: Line 6: Didn't find element token after open angle bracket.
FAILURE:
Unable to open datasource `gbif_to_gis_not_working.vrt' with the following
drivers.

any idea what's missing/wrong?
