Be advised, shapefiles by design can hold text fields of only up to 254 bytes. Even if you create the shapefile with the desired fields and then do "ogr2ogr -append -update", you just can't put more than 254 bytes of text in a field of a shapefile. -- Iván Sánchez Ortega <[email protected]> Un ordenador no es una televisión ni un microondas: es una herramienta compleja. _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
