[Qgis-user] "Dissolve" a line layer?

[magerlin]

I've got a road network which is broken down to a lot of very short sections.
Theese I would like to join by the road name to just get one feature per
road name.

If it had been a polygon layer I could have used the Vector - Geoprocessing
- Dissolve tool, but it is only for polygons.

I am aware that I can do it manually either 2 sections at a time by the
"Join two lines" plugin or more sections at a time by using the "Merge
selected features" button in the Advanced Digitizing toolbar. But there are
far to many sections to do this by hand....

Any suggestions?
