[Qgis-user] Clipping 60 shape layers

[Koos Hagg]

Hi All,
have been searching around for the answer to this question, and found an
old thread on this list.

I have a folder which contains about 30 shapefiles, old (but still useful)
vmap0 data, but it is 500mb in size. I'd like to clip each shapefile to
just the region I need.
I understand about ogr2ogr, and I could do it one by one,

but I would like to figure out how to write a batch file to do it all at
once. However- I have been trying this and that for a while, not making any
progress.

any help is appreciated!

Use ogr2ogr:

ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" -clipsrc mask.shp output.shp input.shp
