[gdal-dev] How do I get lat long extents from this Ogrinfo output on a .shp?

[Dante, Paul]

Steve,

Thanks, that works wonderfully!

I figured the other data in the file was UTM as well, but I'm only using the extents in my program, which is why I focused on them.

Hi Paul,

Its not just the extents but all the data in the file is in a UTM projection. You can reproject the file to WGS84 and then ogrinfo will report in long-lat.

ogr2ogr -t_srs EPSG:4326 OldStreamsPolyline-wgs84.shp OldStreamsPolyline.shp ogrinfo -so OldStreamsPolyline-wgs84.shp OldStreamsPolyline-wgs84
