Re: MI Selecting Polylines

[Russell Mincher]

Select * from <TABLE> where Str$(Obj) = "Polyline" into SELECTION   Other objects can be selected by changing "Polyline" to: "Point" "Line" "Region" "Text" and I haven't tested: "Arc" "Ellipse" "Rectangle"   but they may also work   The alternative syntax is (with thanks to Jaques Paris' wonderful "Miniguide to the MapBasic Window":   Select * from <TABLE> where Str$(ObjectInfo(Obj,1)) = "4" into SELECTION   and are full list of objects is:   1    Arc 2    Ellipse ( incl Circle) 3    Line 4    Polyline 5    Point 6    Layout Frame 7    Region 8    Rectange 9    Rounded rectange 10  Text   This works quite happily as an "SQL select" query as well   Regards     Russ   ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Walsh To: MapInfo-L Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2000 9:37 AM Subject: MI Selecting Polylines Good afternoon.   I was wondering if anyone would know how to use the MapBasic window to select only polylines in a mapper.  I have a table with regions and unfortunately, the polylines which form the borders of these regions are still present.  I want to select all the polylines so that I can delete them.    Thanks in advance, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Paul J.
