David, this was my first thought when i saw this question as well.

however, I didn't look for very long but I haven't seen a way to tell ogr2ogr to read columns in a csv as the lat/lon and write those as points to the shapefile.  I generally write a csv to postgres as a non-spatial table and then process the lat lon columns with postgis.

 Are there arguments for ogr2ogr that can do this?

    You might consider ogr2ogr as an alternative approach. You can run
    this from the command line allowing you to use shell scripts to
    iterate through all your .csv files. There are also python
    bindings for ogr2ogr if you're more comfortable with python than
    shell scripts.

    Hello,

    thank you for your answer. I have many csv (about 100), so I need
    an automatic procedure. Maybe a python script...

    Hi,

    Yes, you can do that very easily using QGIS.  Layer/add
    layer/add delimited text layer.  Then just export the layer in
    the format of your choice. You may need to convert the
    coordinates in decimal degrees (ex 75 05 30.4 ->
    75.0917777777778000000 ).

    You can do this in Excel using =(A6)+(B6/60)+(C6/3600)+(D6/3600)
    A= Deg, B= Min, C=Sec, D= Decimal Sec.  Then export to csv.

    Hello,

    I would like to know if it is possible to import multiple csv
    files contained in a folder and to convert them in shapefiles
    (1 for each csv). All csv files are structured as "lat long
    value" separate by space and without any header line.

    Thank you for your help! Regards,

    Salvatore
