#173: v.in.ogr: truncate cnames to first word
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
Reporter: hamish | Owner: [email protected]
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone: 6.4.0
Component: default | Version: unspecified
Keywords: v.in.ogr |
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
If you (ahem) don't read the instructions properly and with v.in.ogr's
cnames= option provide column types with the new names it gets added into
the vector's dbln file as an extra word, corrupting it. (it writes "cat
integer" as the key column, but then after reads DB filename as the third
word in the dbln file, which is "integer" not $GISDBASE/...)
then you can't do much (even remove the vector) without fixing the dbln
file.
to protect against that...
v.in.ogr line 270:
{{{
ncnames = 0;
if ( cnames_opt->answers ) {
i = 0;
while ( cnames_opt->answers[i++] ) {
ncnames++;
}
}
}}}
in that loop add some sort of
strchrnul(cnames_opt->answers[i-1], ' ') = '\0';
to cut away all but the first word?
how to write that correctly?
