ogr2ogr with file list

[Bill Binko]

What Operating System (and which Shell -- if Linux/Unix) are you using?

If you're using Linux and bash (or something similar), you can do this:

(Assuming list.in has a list of input filenames in it)

for i in `cat list.in`; do ogr2ogr $i output_$i -t_srs WGS84 ; done 

Probably easier for automation would be to put all of your "input" 
shapefiles in an input directory and create an empty output directory. 
 Then run something like this:

for i in input/*.shp; do ogr2ogr $i output/`basename $i` -t_srs 
WGS84; done


Hope this helps.
