So I have a line of code in .bat using ogr2ogr geospatial tool:
for /R %F in (*_gpx.shp) do ogr2ogr -update -append "%~dpnF.shp" "______________"
In the "___________"space I need to specify a file, that:
-is in the same folder as *_gpx.shp
-beginning of its name is equal to the gpx.shp, but the ending is not (it's a pair of "sametext_abc_gpx.shp" and "sametext_bby.shp")
-I have plenty of these pairs and their names aren't of same length, but have same endings (only abc and bby)
My first guess was
"*_bby.shp"
But it didn't work for me. I tried with addressing it with %~dpF, removing last 7 characters ("abc_gpx") and adding "bby", but I'm not so fluent in bash syntax.
Well, that appeared to be the solution:
"%~dpF*_bby.shp"
for Windows CMD, for batch files obviously
"%%~dpF*_bby.shp"
That is disk letter, path and letter indicating File which is a wildcard * plus the ending.
