Markus, have you tried to run this without the quotes? Or in the mapcalculator
GUI?
When we skip the quotes, all expressions that I tested worked, except for those
that have the pipe symbol ||
I will try the one above today. I would love to get the mapcalc working in the
command console, it is very
convenient. Currently, we run all mapcalc operations in the mapcalculator GUI,
which is fine with students
who are used to run things by clicking a lot anyway, but as we get to more
complex workflows with more map algebra
in-between it can get tedious.
