Hello Katie,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
You can use the Ftools Plugin - Join Attribute tool to do this. Store
your<br>
ASCII file as DBF file and using the Join attribute tool using the Join<br>
field (IED) you can link the attributes to the shape file.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>

Thanks for the advice. To answer your question, my grid is not a regular<br>
grid. My grid is defined in one of my shapefiles. When you look at the<br>
shapefile in Attribute table, this is what you see:<br>
<br>
IED
X
Y KS<br>
1 453780.594 3961930.333 3<br>
2 515181.635 3977431.333 3<br>
3 568577.604 4179629.000 3<br>
<br>
<br>
where IED is the cell number I mentioned before, X and Y are in UTM<br>
coordinates, don't know what KS (it's always 3). So the ascii file I want to<br>
add has 2 columns, the first being 1 through length of file that corresponds<br>
with the IED value in my shapefile and the second column is the data.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Katie<br>

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

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