Language I/O support for command line program on windows platform.

[miyukioki]

I made patch for GDAL/ogr command line program on windows platform.

ogr_lang.diff is patch for version 'gdal-2.0dev.'
​https://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/trunk/gdal

This patch concept is 'using CP_ACP' for command line program. CP_ACP description was here.

First time, on windows platform, it's fine to run batch file with UTF-8. But argument charcter code chagned through. To understand this problem, see follow test code.

Is this a problem of reading file whose path includes non-ascii characters? If so, you can solve it by following statement.

SET GDAL_FILENAME_IS_UTF8=NO

Is there any other problem?

No, any other problem. This patch is command line argument (I/O) for non-ascii characters.

eg. ogr2ogr -nln 日本語 ... ogr2ogr -nln 你好 ...

A batch file can do it. The advantage of this way is that it is not necessary to change existing codes (including output part).

utf8 ogr2ogr D:\東京都.shp D:\市町村界.shp -sql "SELECT * FROM '市町村界' WHERE Name LIKE '東京都%'" -lco "ENCODING=LDID/19"

Hi, Akaginchi san

Yes, I know. Did you read my post? This approach still has problem. Please check, follow code.

The attached batch uses optfile option. Please try it.

batch file using optfile option

[miyukioki]

Akaginch san, Thank you for pointing optfile.

Yes, now I completely understand. Option 'optfile' is best practice. This patch doesn't needed.

BTW, most people doesn't understand, how to avoid language problem. Document will be needed by this thema.

Author of the patch considers in the latest comment that an alternative suggestion to use a batch file + optfile option is better. Closing ticket as wontfix.
