yupee!!! That's so cool :-) I got it to work, i was able to grab the NID (as well as the rest of the CanVec ID's) which are so desperately needed. and so i can customize and add whatever tags that are needed. I still need to do a little more testing to see if it detects shp files with multiple ID's... but i think it will. (my little eee pc over heats and needs to cool down... and my head hurts and also needs to cool down) :-)
I should have the BAT file im using ready to share soon, I will be following the wiki chart, and watching for changes. .. and what's cool is that i'll be also updating the wiki as i go along. There is only 300 map features, so it will probably take a week or less, to get the rules.txt all in line. Although it doesn't do any AutoMatching, selecting & deleting 4 times around the region your working on isn't that bad. Cheers, And thanks SOO much :) P.S. I'll be sure to note your names on the readme.txt for it.
