My previous post did .MIF lines. Here is awk
program I found for areas:
{ if ($1 == "Region") { next } else
{ if ( NF == 1 ) { print "A " $1 } else
{ print " " $2 " " $1 } } }
# remove "Region" statements, add "A", swap order.
I got smarter and figured out how to do the
processing in one pass. If you substitute
"Pline" for "Region" you can do lines this way
too.
These, unfortunately, do not import any
attribute information so using the
org2ogr may be better.
I hope this helps.
