[GRASS-user] v.proj needs a -g flag for parsable output

[Patton, Eric]

Thanks, Dylan, I had forgotten all about ogr2ogr. And this is much easier
than v.proj. Thanks!

Hi Eric,

not sure if this will work for you, but I find that ogr2ogr is a bit
simpler 
to use as compared to v.proj. Also, it is simple to loop over an entire 
folder of files, saving the result to a different folder.
