Re: [Qgis-user] Question on how to add data to shapefiles

[Swapnil Chaudhari]

Dear Katie, 
There is a way to get this work done, I'm not sure if it is the right way though. 
Use the plugin name delimited text layer. You will have to save your ASCII file to .csv format which is possible in windows notepad. 
Feed in the details when you open the plugin. 
What surprises me is, ".....There are 200,000 lines in each ASCII file, with each line corresponding to the cell numbers in the shapefiles." I'm not sure what you mean by cell number. Is it raster that has been converted to vector. 

Hope it works 
Cheers

Good morning. I'm new to GIS and very new to QGIS. I have 3 files I need to visualize. 2 are shapefiles that I easily visualized in QGIS. The other file is an ASCII text file that has various parameters. There are 200,000 lines in each ASCII file, with each line corresponding to the cell numbers in the shapefiles. I want to visualize the data in the ASCII file using the same grid in the shapfiles. Does anyone know a way to do this? Any help would be appreciated.
