Hi Bob I dont know the esri command and how it works, but to get that kind of metadata out of an translation / ffs file you can use a strategi like this
1. set up an tcl array in the global namespace whith the information you ar interrested in 2. run the translation 3. write a tcl function to populate the arrray with a description off your data 4. at the end of the translation dump the array to a textfile 5. if you dont want to export the data to somthing just write it to null Attatched is a mapping file and a tcl script illustrating how I use this teknik, to crreate a repport on a translation describing the input/ outpupt parameters and a count of the featurcodes, and the featurtypes , the result you can se in the .rap file Peter Laulund Natioanl survey and Cadastre, Denmark >From: "Rice, Bob" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: <[email protected]> >Subject: RE: [fme] FFS Dump >Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2005 09:33:13 -0600 > >Hi Mark, > >What I hoping to find was something on the order of >the ESRI shpinfo command which gives a great deal >of information about a shapefile structure, parameters, attributes >without dumping actual feature data. > >Bob > > >-------------------------------------- >L.
