Hi,
I am trying to solve the following puzzle in Mapinfo:
I have a table/map with information on regions (counties in the UK). I have also drawn a layer of polylines into that map, these polylines represent railway lines. Obviously, when the railway lines are layered over the map of counties, they will "connect" some of the counties. I am looking for a way to automatically make a list of which counties are connected by each individual line. For example, if a line goes from Cornwall to Devon to Dorset to Hampshire to Surrey, and stops there, I would like a script/utility that generates this list (Cornwall-Devon-Dorset-Hampshire-Surrey).
I am not a GIS-expert (so please try to go slow in suggesting solutions), but this seems like a pretty standard problem to me. So I figured it would be a standard feature, or something for which people had written scripts. But so far I haven't found anything that helps.
I am using Mapinfo Pro 7.8, unfortunately don't have Mapbasic, but I am able to programme in a bunch of other languages (outside Mapinfo). So, a partial solution that generates some data that could be used further outside Mapinfo would already make me happy.
Thanks for any help.
Best regards,
Bart Verspagen
