• RECURSE_DIR - specifies whether the loop operation will search subdirectories of the specified
directory as well as the current one. Use RECURSE_DIR=YES to enable. The default value is to
NOT search subdirectories.
EDIT_VECTOR
Global Mapper User's Manual
The EDIT_VECTOR command allows you to assign feature types (classifications), add/update attributes and
display labels, or delete features based on one or more attribute or label values. You can choose to update
area, line, and/ or point features with a single operation. You can also supply multiple COMPARE_STR
parameters to apply multiple criteria, all of which must be true, in order to edit a feature.
The following parameters are supported by the command:
• FILENAME - filename of the layer to update. If an empty value is passed in, all loaded vector layers
will be updated. You can also pass in the value 'USER CREATED FEATURES' when running a
script in the context of the main map view or loading a workspace to have the 'User Created Features'
layer updated.
• AREA_TYPE - specifies the name of the Global Mapper area type to assign to matching area
features.
• LINE_TYPE - specifies the name of the Global Mapper line type to assign to matching line features.
• POINT_TYPE - specifies the name of the Global Mapper point type to assign to matching point
features.
• ATTR_VAL - specifies the attribute value to update and what value to assign to it. The format is
attr_name=attr_value. For example if you want to set the value of an attribute named CFCC to A34,
use ATTR_VAL="CFCC=A34". You can add multiple ATTR_VAL parameters to a single command
to provide multiple attribute/value pairs (or labels) to add/update. If you would like to update the
feature label rather than an attribute, use for your attribute name.
• COMPARE_STR - specifies a comparison operation to perform to see if a feature is one that needs to
be updated. The format is attr_name=attr_value. For example if you have an attribute named CFCC
and you want to match when the value of that attribute starts with an 'A', you can use
COMPARE_STR="CFCC=A*" as your parameter. You can add multiple COMPARE_STR
parameters to a single command to combine multiple criteria for your search. If you would like to
compare against a feature label rather than an attribute, use for your attribute name.
To compare against a feature type name rather than an attribute, use for your attribute
name. To compare against the feature description, use for your attribute name.
• ATTR_TO_DELETE - specifies the name of an attribute to delete from matching features. You can
include multiple instances of this attribute to delete multiple values. To remove the feature label rather
than an attribute, use for the attribute name.
• ATTR_TO_RENAME - specifies the name of an attribute to rename from matching features and what
to rename it to. You can include multiple instances of this attribute to rename multiple attributes. For
example, to rename the attribute, CTY to be COUNTY, add the parameter
ATTR_TO_RENAME="CTY=COUNTY" to your command.
• ATTR_TO_COPY - specifies the name of an attribute to copy the value of an existing attribute or
label to. You can include multiple instances of this parameter to copy multiple attributes. For
example, to create a new attribute named DISP_LABEL from the feature label, use
ATTR_TO_COPY="DISP_LABEL=" or to create a new attribute named DEPTH
from the value of an attribute named Z, use ATTR_TO_COPY="DEPTH=Z".
• CASE_SENSITIVE - specifies whether or not text comparisons are case sensitive or not. Use
CASE_SENSITIVE=YES to enable, by default comparisons are not case sensitive.
