Hi, What do you do with the attributes? Do you discard them all for the whole layer or do you give them to features as long as they last and then fill null attributes for the remaining orphan features? I guess that extra features are often the last shapes is .shp and then the first alternative would feel fine, but it is also possible that the extra features are in the beginning of the .shp or then somebody just deleted a row from the middle of .dbf file with OpenOffice or something.
If I remember right, shape file format does not use IDs for joins but it behaves in a similar way than the ArcInfo generate format by just taking the first shape from .shp and pairing it with the first row in .dbf and going on with the second shape and second line in .dbf and so on. So if .shp and .dbf get unsynchronised all the attributes after that point will go to wrong features. -Jukka Rahkonen- ________________________________________ Michaël Michaud wrote: > Hi, > This is the second time I have to deal with a "corrupted" shapefile > with more shapes in the shp than records in the dbf. > I made a patch to read all geometries in this case (and log the error). > Please check that you still can read your preferred shapefile as before. > Michaël ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
