[FWTools] batch reproject shapefiles

[Matt Wilkie]

If you're on windows, try something like this:

    set prj_params=-s_srs epsg:4617 -t_srs epsg:3578

    for %%g in (*.shp) do (
       ogr2ogr -f "esri shapefile" %prj_params% output\%%g %%g
       )


Change prj_params to suit your source and destination projections of 
course. There are some more involved examples at
http://code.google.com/p/maphew/source/browse/#svn/trunk/gis/canvec
and http://code.google.com/p/maphew/source/browse/#svn/trunk/gis/geobase

cheers,

matt wilkie
