[FWTools] FW: Ogr2ogr convert MIF to SHP file that contains Text object

[Jiang, David]

The attached MIF file contains a Text object with the description of
"test\nanother\nline". 

 

Tried the following command: ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" -where
ogr_geometry='POINT' drawing_layer_#3_point.shp drawing_layer_#3.mif

 

The result shape file contains 3 point objects but the problem is that
it doesn't keep the "test\nanother\nline" description. 

 

What's the correct syntax to convert a MIF file that contains Text
Object? 

 

Thanks very much!

 

David
