Hi All,
Is there anyway to make gdal read from multiple folders ? something like
ogrinfo mydata/* ? where mydata has a lot of subfolders and any of those
subfolders have shape files.
(I have some folders with tens of folders with shape files that I need
to display with to MapServer. Just wondering if I need to create a
script or if there is a shortcut...)
Sebastian,
This would have to be something supported by the shapefile driver in this
case, and it supports two configurations. One where the datasource is a
file (one of .shp or.shx) in which case it provides one layer. The other
configuration is where a directory is given as the datasource name in
which case it provides one layer per .shx/shp/dbf set in the directory.
There is no mechanism existing now to do what you want short of constructing
a complicated virtual file collecting several directory based shapefile
datasources. This approach would not be helpful to you, I think.
Best regards,
