It's the output from the ArcGIS "Write Features to Text File (Samples)" tool. The "format" is documented here: http://help.arcgis.com/EN/ArcGISDesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//00pv00000 00z000000.htm
Even ESRI use Python to read/write it :) Apparently it's deprecated though...

Sure, and that's what I've done, but then OGR is not writing it, I am writing it with Python -- which I agree is not that big a deal but still harder than one command line with ogr2ogr. It doesn't really sound like this is a "format" that it would make sense to support -- which is probably why OGR doesn't support it. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [email protected] _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev ------ If you have received this transmission in error please notify us immediately by return e-mail and delete all copies.
