ogr2ogr with file list

[Bart van den Eijnden]

I would do it like this:

Start fwtools batch file.

Go to the directory which contains your input files (my directory is  
C:\temp\input).

Type:

C:\temp\input>for %f in (*.shp) do ogr2ogr "c:\temp\output\%f" %f -s_srs  
"+init=
epsg:42304" -t_srs WGS84

They will be created with the same name but in c:\temp\output.

Best regards,
Bart
