Hi there,

Does anyone have a python script or know of a 3rd party plug in that will allow a directory of shapefiles to be reprojected into a specified CRS? Would also be helpful to do the same with the clip tool
You didn't say what OS so your mileage may vary.  For this kind of operation I would use the ogr2ogr application from the gdal utilities.  I believe if you're using the windows osgeo install that it is installed if you're using linux it's a matter of installing gdal which if you have qgis it's probably already there.

So to reproject a bunch of shapefiles the source files in d0 and the destination in d1:

ogr2ogr -t_srs (specify the target CRS you can use proj4 string or an existing .prj file) d1 d0

The default type for ogr2ogr is shapefile so you don't need to specify a type even.  ogr2ogr also does other operations including clipping.

I'm a fairly novice programmer so any advice would be appreciated.

thanks,
