Description

ogr2ogr can be used to merge several shapefiles. It would be useful to have an ogr2ogr based tool that merges several shapefiles stored in a folder. Here's an example code written by Darren Cope:

mkdir merged
for %f in (*.shp) do (
if not exist merged\\merged.shp (
ogr2ogr -f “esri shapefile” merged\\merged.shp %f) else (
ogr2ogr -f “esri shapefile” -update -append merged\\merged.shp %f -nln Merged )
)
