Hello,

I have a question related to how the function "intersect" works. I have two shapefiles, one of lines the others of polygons. I would like to get into a shapefile the polygons that are intersected by the lines. I tried unsuccessfully using Vector > Geoprocessing tools > intersect. In this case, if the input is the lines and the intersect the polygon, I can split the lines according to the border of each polygon, and each segment is identified by the polygon name in the attribute, but this is not what I want to. If I do the reverse, I get an empty polygon vector file.

What I want is the shapefile of the subset of polygons that intersect the lines...

Any idea about how to proceed ?

Patrick

PS: for info, the expected result can be easily obtained in R, package 'rgeos', function 'gIntersection'
