[mapserver-users] Cant get polygon labels to show up

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Jukka,

Yes, this is the problem. I suspect that it is interpreting the '/' as 
the start of a regex or something. I could not find a way to escape it 
like '\/' or "\/".

I think this is a bug, I'll open a ticket for it.

I have worked around the problem by using OGR to add a column and 
populate it with just the filename and not the long path.
