<p class=MsoNormal>The attached MIF file contains a Text object with the
description of “test\nanother\nline”. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Tried the following command: ogr2ogr –f “ESRI
Shapefile” –where ogr_geometry=’POINT’
drawing_layer_#3_point.shp drawing_layer_#3.mif<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The result shape file contains 3 point objects but the
problem is that it doesn’t keep the “test\nanother\nline”
description. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>What’s the correct syntax to convert a MIF file that
contains Text Object? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks very much!<o:p></o:p></p>
