#203 closed defect (fixed)

shp2pgsql does not correctly encode control characters

Reported by: dfuhriman Owned by: pramsey
Priority: medium Milestone: PostGIS 1.3.7
Component: postgis Version: 1.3.X
Keywords: Cc:

Description

When using the -D option to shp2pgsql, any dbf fields that contain embedded newlines or carriage returns are not handled correctly. These fields need to be converted to \r and \n, respectively, or postgres will not accept them.

The attached patch fixes this.

Thanks for the patch.

I think this may already be fixed in trunk/1.4 - any chance you could build and test the 1.4 beta release? If it's still broken, please attach a small shapefile example and I'll review it later. I'm not sure there will be a 1.3.7 release...

Many thanks,

Mark.

Yes, the code in the current trunk seems to work just fine (at least on my problem shapefiles).

thanks!
