Dear listers, I am fighting to get some old Idrisi vectro (.vct) files to be read in R. I am kind of an newbie in this so I hope the thread is not too much over-repeating. I checked other posts but I could not find the solution. 1. I updated rgdal but when checkecing ogrDrivers() , I see "Idrisi FALSE" . I do not know how to install those dirvers.
This should mean that the driver reads but does not write.
2. then when checking readOGR I have read that depending on the format "dsn" option or "layer" option may be different... how can I know what is it for my vct Idrisi files?
Try ogrListLayers(dsn="file.vct") to see if it lists the layers. Otherwise you'll have to search for OGR VCT usage tips. Roger
