<TITLE>RE: [GRASS-user] import multiple shapefiles automatically</TITLE>

<!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I tried this one:<BR>
v.in.ogr 'dsn=C:\QGIS\species_shapefiles'<BR>
but it didn't work, it said something like "required output parameter missing"...<BR>
<BR>
then I tried the "one-line-instead-of-a-script":<BR>
for i in C:\QGIS\species_shapefiles\*.shp; do v.in.ogr dsn=$i out=`basename $i .shp`; done<BR>
<BR>
but it still gave an error, apparently because the shapefiles didn't have georeferencing information and I was trying to import them to my georreferenced location, hence projection didn't match (although the maps do overlay perfectly). But it said I could add "-o" to the v.in.ogr commmand to override this projection check, so I did:<BR>
<BR>
for i in C:\QGIS\species_shapefiles\*.shp; do v.in.ogr dsn=$i out=`basename $i .shp` -o; done<BR>
<BR>
And it worked! Thanks guys<BR>
