[mapserver-users] ShapeObj delete

[Lowell Filak]

One way to do it is to open the existing shapefile and create a holder for the particular type of shape. Then loop through each shape and copy them to a new shapefile. To delete a shape just skip writing the deleted shape to the new shapefile. Then replace the old file with the new.
