ER Mapper 6.3 seems to have problems making the conversion. I get an error saying that the extents can not be determined or that there is no ability to go from the geodetic data to an orthographic projection. Does anyone have a way to work around this? What intermediate projection might work?

Use the "filename" command to get the name of the file itself, then split the filename at the period and use the first part, i.e., $var = "F:\Trends_Analysis\data\data_creation\batchtest\emp805575.jpg" $fname = filename $var # returns "emp805575.jpg" $fname_sp = split $fname at "." # split name at dot $fname_no_ext = $fname_sp[1] # set var to part 1 "emp805575" If you have multiple dots in the filename (i.e., file1.10m.jpg) then you'll need to do a bit more work.
