[Mapserver-users] Batch raster to ecw

[J. Delfos]

Hi Richie,

The er mapper compressor does allow commandline input, e.g.:

ecw_compress_free.exe dem.tif -o dem.ecw -nowait

the inputfile is dem.tif, the outputfile is dem.ecw.

To do batch processing, do this:

- use a command like:

      dir /b /s > dir.txt

    This will produce a textfile with all your ecw files in it. Then dump
this in excel, in the column before the one with your file names, you put:

ecw_compress_free.exe dem.tif -o dem.ecw -nowait

- Then in the column to the right of your filenames, you use the
concatenate (A1+A2) function. Paste this into DOS (rightclick for copy and
paste), and your files are batch processed.

regards,

Jacob
