Hi, I would normally do this in excel and then use a join command, but I have special characters in foreign languages in the attribute table I'd like to preserve. So far I successfully preserved the special characters when I exported the attribute table from QGIS and opened it in excel using the proper character encoding (cp1252), but when I bring it back into QGIS I can't get the characters to display using cp1252 or utf-8.
Can anyone inform me if there is a way to edit the attribute table in QGIS and use the field calculator to split text from a single field into multiple fields using a delimiter such as a comma? (ie address data) a sample of the data I'm working with can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/g6etf02cdf7bx7l/test_data.zip I'm on mac 10.8 using QGIS 1.8 much thanks, -Chris On Wed, Dec 5, 2012 at 5:26 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Send Qgis-user mailing list submissions to > [email protected] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [email protected] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [email protected] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Qgis-user digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
