[FWTools] batch reproject shapefiles

[pyroGIS]

as a complete n00b to batch variables, i'm having a little difficulty...


C:\user\shp\census>batchreproj.bat

C:\user\shp\census>set prj_params=-s_srs epsg:4269 -t_srs epsg:2229

C:\user\shp\census>for %g in (*.shp) do (ogr2ogr -f "esri shapefile" -s_srs
ep
sg:4269 -t_srs epsg:2229 output\%g %g )

C:\user\shp\census>(ogr2ogr -f "esri shapefile" -s_srs epsg:4269 -t_srs
epsg:2
229 output\fe_2007_06083_taz00.shp fe_2007_06083_taz00.shp )
ERROR 1: Failed to create file .shp file.
