Subject: [Qgis-user] Remove all rings with a polygon

 

I have a uk postcode layer that in have clipped to the boundary of my
authority and have then used the dissolve function to aggregate these into
postcode sectors. When I do this though there are hundreds of little rings
left over by the vertical postcodes (blocks of flats I presume). I wish to
remove these but don't know how to delete rings apart from clicking on each
one. 

 

Is there a function someehwere i could use (grass?) or do need to write
python script?

Thanks

 

Matt
