Hey Jay,

What you want is what I wrote earlier.  Please (and I'm saying this as nice as I can come up with to phrase right now), keep your confusion limited to one or two message list postings.  I had to really struggle to go through all of them and determine which iteration of what particular solution you were trying.

MapServer will use a class without an expression as the "else" clause. So..


LAYER
    CLASSITEM "DIAMETER"
    CLASS
        EXPRESSION '6'
        ... this won't render anything as there are no style/label directives ....
    END
    CLASS
        # No Expression
        LABEL
            ..... stuff you want in here.
        END
    END
END

OK I got it to work....well got it label a specific value in the DIAMETER field.

Now is there is a way that I can write 2 EXPRESSIONS that will say don't label 6 and the second say label everything else?

I get this to work:
But I get the errors when I try to create the expressions to limit what is labeled...(see former email below)

First off I am just trying to get the EXPRESSION to work for the labels.
Second I am trying to avoid writing 15 different expressions
That's why I was trying create an EXPRESSION that said label everything except values = 6

                LAYER # Watermain_Pipe
                     #NAME Watermain_Pipe
                     DATA './watermain_pipes.shp'
                     STATUS DEFAULT
                     TYPE annotation
                    MAXSCALE 4000
                    MINSCALE 100
                    LABELITEM 'DIAMETER'
                    LABELCACHE ON

                CLASS
                       LABEL
                                TYPE TRUETYPE
                                FONT vera_sans
                                ANGLE FOLLOW
                                POSITION AUTO
                                MAXSIZE 7
                                SIZE 7
                                MINSIZE 7
                                ANTIALIAS TRUE
                                COLOR 0 0 0
                                BUFFER 2
                       END

Actually, that will exclude anything with a 6 in it.

An easier way to go...

LAYER
    CLASS
       EXPRESSION '6'
        # Leave this blank
    END
    CLASS
           .... everything else ....
    END
END

Yep, you just use a regular expression: /[^6]/

This is a mapserver syntax.

Is there a way to form a NOT statement in the expression...

To say for instance...show me all but EXPRESSION "6"

Instead of having to write each one out that you want....say I have pipe sizes 1-30 but 90% are 6 inches....jsut show the ones that are not 6 iches...
This should decrease the amount of labeling I have to do
