You have two options.  The difference comes from the fact that on Unix
the command shell does the wildcard expansion, so the command line
gdaltindex actually sees is a long list of file names.  In DOS this does
not happen and the filename expansion has to be done by the program.
=20
gdaltindex can be recompiled and linked with setargv.obj from the
compiler library, which will add this feature.
=20
gdaltindex also adds to the shapefile if it already exists, so a command
like:
=20
for %f in (c:\maps\nebc\data\tif\*.tif) do gdaltindex index_94A.shp %f
=20
will also work without any recompilation needed.  Note that the "for"
loop will expand its arguments with any pathname included in the
argument, so it will do the right thing (i.e. put full absolute paths in
the index file).

Subject: [Mapserver-users] help with gdaltindex for dos :

Hi all,
=20
I am looking for a command line syntax for using gdaltindex for dos.
=20
The unix version from the usage is :
=20
% gdaltindex doq_index.shp doq/*.tif
=20
I have some geotiff files in folder:
=20
c:\maps\nebc\data\tif\
=20
=20
my command at the dos line is :
=20
gdaltindex index_94A.shp c:\maps\nebc\data\tif\*.tif
=20
The error I get is:
 Unable to open c:\maps\nebc\data\tif\*.tif, skipping
=20
----------------------
=20
I also tried this at the command line:
gdaltindex index_94A.shp c:/maps/nebc/data/tif/*.tif
=20
The error I get is:
 Unable to open c:/maps/nebc/data/tif/*.tif, skipping
=20
Any help would be appreciated.
=20
=20
thanks
Stephen
