[Qgis-user] TXT TO SHP

[Stefan Kiefer]

What format has the txt file? The file should have a header to get all
da to import a delimited text it should be composed from at least a x
and y coordinate. You have to give the delimiter (probably a "," or
maybe a tabulator = \t . If you now select a file, then you can chose
the x resp. y column in the listboxes. If that not works be sure that
the coordinates are written in british system, I mean decimal values
delimited by a ".". For me this works perfectly.
If  you have further trouble please post the composition of the text
file.

cheers

Stefan
