Hi all,
It's maybe more a bash question than a Postgis one, but ...

I'm extracting shapefiles from a SRTM contour lines postgis base, using WKT multipolygons to cut extract by country.
This gives something like:

   pgsql2shp -f shp/my_shapefile.shp -u mapnik contour \
   "SELECT
   ST_simplify(intersection(way,GeomFromText('$poly',-1)),0.00005),
   height \
   from contours where \
   ST_Intersects(way, GeomFromText('$poly',-1));"

where $poly is a large WKT (like this one: http://pistes-nordiques.org/download/france.wkt).

I have the following error: /usr/bin/pgsql2shp: Argument list too long

I played a little with xargs, but with no success. Is there a way to load the wkt from a file with postgres, or something else?

yves
