Batch GDAL

Batch GDAL bash script.md

Bash script for batch GDAL processes. This example ogr2ogr converts from .shp to .geojson.

#!/bin/bash

for FILE in *.shp # cycles through all files in directory (case-sensitive!)
do
    echo "converting file: $FILE..."
    FILENEW=`echo $FILE | sed "s/.shp/_new.geojson/"` # replaces old filename
    ogr2ogr \
    -f "GEOJson" \
    $FILENEW $FILE
done
exit
