    Now I am wondering if I am posting to the correct list.<br>
    I guess it's not the list I intended to post to.<br>
    <br>
    Anyway, when I filled this form out<br>
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mflan.com/temp/clip1.jpg">http://www.mflan.com/temp/clip1.jpg</a><br>
    and clicked on "Run as Batch Process", it produces a <br>
    blank box:<br>
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mflan.com/temp/clip2.jpg">http://www.mflan.com/temp/clip2.jpg</a><br>
    <br>
    I didn't know what to do with that, so I did the same:<br>
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mflan.com/temp/clip3.jpg">http://www.mflan.com/temp/clip3.jpg</a><br>
    but clicked on Run in Background, and it gave an error:<br>
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mflan.com/temp/clip4.jpg">http://www.mflan.com/temp/clip4.jpg</a><br>
    <br>
    But it did create a USAroads shape file.  When I loaded it <br>
    it appeared to be blank, even though it is 10.9 MB:<br>
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mflan.com/temp/clip5.jpg">http://www.mflan.com/temp/clip5.jpg</a><br>
    <br>
    So I tried to find Feature (26).  <br>
    I believe it is this one:<br>
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mflan.com/temp/clip6.jpg">http://www.mflan.com/temp/clip6.jpg</a><br>
    <br>
    If anybody has the patience for all of this, the <br>
    layer files are here:<br>
    <br>
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mflan.com/temp/roads-north_america.zip">http://www.mflan.com/temp/roads-north_america.zip</a><br>
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mflan.com/temp/statep010.zip">http://www.mflan.com/temp/statep010.zip</a><br>
    <br>
    <br>
    BTW, judging by other shape files I have found in my <br>
    records, I think I have successfully clipped roads in <br>
    the past.  I just don't remember how to do it now.<br>
    <br>
    Perhaps I need to create only one, single polygon for <br>
    the lower 48 states as a first step??  I will work on <br>
    that for now.<br>

          Like so many others I would like to clip a roads<br>
          layer to contain only roads within my polygon.  Is<br>
          this really the easiest way for me to accomplish that:<br>

          Yes, I see that there are a lot of possible ways<br>
          to interpret "clipping a line with a polygon",<br>
          but it seems like this should be easier than that.<br>
          <br>
          <br>
          This is provided in case anybody can use these:<br>
          <a href="http://www.mflan.com/temp/cliptest.qgs"

            rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">http://www.mflan.com/temp/cliptest.qgz</a><br>
          <br>
          Of course I don't just want it clipped, I want<br>
          a simple clipping procedure that users like me<br>
          can use.<br>
          <br>
          I am using QGIS 3.2 for Windows.<br>
          Thank you.<br>
