I'm using QGIS 1.7.4
on Mac OSX 10.6.8, so I can run ogr2ogr in linux. I'm not too familiar
with running code in terminal, but a friend recomended installing home
brew and xcode first. Do you know of any helpful tutorials to help a
newby get started with running open source command line code?
Unfortunately I have never had the experience of using the MAC. I
don't even know how to get a command line interface. I'd recommend
googling mac and ogr2ogr.
regards,

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.
