05:09:23 agelos: hi all
05:10:18 agelos: any ideas on how do i split a line into multiple lines by use of a series of points on this line ?
06:51:50 darkblueB: agelos: postgis ?
06:52:20 darkblueB: other than that, you can always export the WKT, run a regular expression on it, and then import
06:52:48 agelos: what regular expression ?
06:53:01 darkblueB: ohhh - you have a single line and want to create the points
06:53:05 agelos: no
06:53:13 agelos: i have the line and i know the points
06:53:13 darkblueB: not a linestring with existing points?
06:54:28 agelos: the line is a linestring .... the points uppon which i want to split it are known
06:54:51 darkblueB: this is spatialite?
06:54:51 agelos: so L line for n points i should get n+1 linestrings
06:54:56 agelos: yes spatialite
06:55:12 darkblueB: looking
06:55:30 agelos: and vb.net :-o
06:55:51 darkblueB: :-/
06:56:06 agelos: lol i understand c# .net
06:56:08 agelos: : )
07:03:03 darkblueB: I am looking at the postgis mailing list.. there are a lot of examples, none of them are simple.. and I dont know what subset spatialite accepts exactly... but it occurs to me that in your case, you know all the points, and the end points of your line, so why not just write out the line segments with a small program
07:03:29 darkblueB: I'm a programmer who does sql when I have to .. so I think in porgrams, anyway
07:14:31 mlabelle: yay going for a 23km bike ride this morning weathers nice fun fun fun
07:23:00 agelos: can you post the post gis forum you are looking on

08:37:56 agelos: is there an nts irc ?

15:33:37 mlabelle: ok, 45km bike ride was fun but now I need a new bike. uhrmf.
