if I try to use wildcard: gdalbuildvrt output.vrt input/*.ecw I get the error: ERROR 4: `input/*.ecw' does not exist in the file system, and is not recognized as a supported dataset name. it doesn't matter if I use / or \ or * or *.ecw or *.*.
My expectation based on the documentation and previous usage is that you can keep adding to a vrt by subsequent commands with the same vrt file unless you pass in the -overwrite option. However, your suggestion to check the filelist.txt file has found the error. Somehow a trailing space was before the CRLF and caused it to not recognize the file. Thanks for the quick help.
