<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks for the advice but I'm having some issues using the Join Attribute Tool. Every time I try to join 2 files (they are 2 shapefiles, both with the same ID column), QGIS freezes quickly and needs to be restarted. Anyone else have this problem?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>

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>

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>
