[Talk-us] Need help with SHP2OSM Rules file

[Chris Hunter]

I'm doing some preliminary work on making the state park data from the
Minnesota DNR available to the map.  I've sliced up the state park
boundaries and trails into small enough chunks for JOSM to handle, but I'm
having difficulties with my rules.txt file.

It may be a silly question, but does the search string in my RULES.TXT have
to be an exact match for the program to apply the tags and values I want?
The info in the WIKI and the README file wasn't very clear.

Here's an example field:
TRAIL_USE = BCH
(B=Hiking permitted, C=Horses Permitted, and H=Snowshoes permitted)

Can I just create 1 separate line for each of the attribute abbreviations,
or does SHP2OSM require a line for each attribute in each possible
permutation?

Thanks in advance,
Chris Hunter
