    UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]]
STATE_CODE: String (1.0)

Answer 1

Based on this post, you could do something like that:

ogrinfo SLA11aAust.shp -dialect sqlite -sql "select STATE_CODE from SLA11aAust"

You could then refine the SQL query using SQLite statements to order the results or match a specific combination of arguments.
