Hi, I'm using Python to do some work with shape files, with GDAL/OGR, although I am not particularly experienced in GIS programming (so I apologise for any incorrect terminology, etc.). What I need to do is retrieve the list of field names in the shape file; fields can be queried by name or row number, surely the field names can be listed? (Then I can query the field given that I know the field name)...
I have searched the documentation quite thoroughly with no luck.. Perhaps my terminology is incorrect? Using QGIS to bring up the attribute table shows (for example): ID Street_Add Road_Locat Title 1 143 1 Lake Place Ilam Smith, C. J. 2 144 3 Tower Road Riccarton Townshend, P. 3 145 7 Lake Place Ilam Morrison, J. 4 146 9 Harper Court Ilam Doe, J. 5 147 11 Tower Road South Ricc Black, F. I need to find what field names are available; e.g. ID, Street_Add, Road_Locat, Title... Thanks in advance, Stacy -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Querying-Field-Names-tp4636867p4636867.html Sent from the GDAL - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
