[OSGeo Africa] Batch conversion from shp to kml

[Mnqweno Mnyengeza]

Hi Zoltan
 
Yes, am aware that shp2kml is a product but was just using the word to
better define my requirement this time around. Thank you for the advice

Hi,
shp2kml is a product, you do realise?
Presumably you mean you have a bunch of SHP files and want them in KML
format but don't want to use shp2kml?


Try ogr2ogr - using the command-line approach you should have zero
difficulties doing it "in a snap"

Zoltan

Dear All

I need to convert approximately thirteen million points from shp2kml
using QGIS. I have already split the points into their respective
provinces, districts and the lowest level of demarcation which is an
enumeration area (EA) here at Statistics South Africa. The output file
of the split is the sub-folder named the EA reference number and
containing the points and polygon of that particular EA. I now need to
batch process this conversion using QGIS batch file processor if any is
available or any other free open source tool that can easily serve the
purpose.

Please assist


Kind regards
