Hello All, I was looking at the OGR VRT example on http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_csv.html, and it doesn't seem to work - complains that unrecognized driver. Am I missing something?
Following example on http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_csv.html, 1) created a text file (test.csv) with the following: Latitude,Longitude,Name 48.1,0.25,"First point" 49.2,1.1,"Second point" 47.5,0.75,"Third point" 2) created a text file (test.vrt) with the following: <OGRVRTDataSource> <OGRVRTLayer name="test"> <SrcDataSource>test.csv</SrcDataSource> <GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType> <LayerSRS>WGS84</LayerSRS> <GeometryField encoding="PointFromColumns" x="Longitude" y="Latitude"/> </OGRVRTLayer> </OGRVRTDataSource> 3) tried "ogrinfo -ro -al test.vrt" and got: FAILURE: Unable to open datasource `test.vrt' with the following drivers. This is GDAL 1.7.1 on linux. My ultimate objective is that take a CSV file whose first two fields are x,y and convert to a shapefile with the remaining fields as attributes. Thanks! --john _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
