Loading Multiple CSV Files into QGIS 2.10
You could use the following code in the Python Console to locate your csv files in a specified folder and load them as point shapefiles using their longitude/latitude fields. The code assumes:
- The csv file is comma-separated
- The longitude/latitude field names are
"x"
and"y"
respectively - The CRS of the loaded layers will be in EPSG:4326
But you can edit this:
import glob, os
# Define path to directory of your csv files
path_to_csv = "C:/Users/You/Desktop/csv folder/"
# Set current directory to path of csv files
os.chdir(path_to_csv)
# Find each .csv file and load them as vector layers
for fname in glob.glob("*.csv"):
uri = "file:///" + path_to_csv + fname + "?delimiter=%s&crs=epsg:4326&xField=%s&yField=%s" % (",", "x", "y")
name = fname.replace('.csv', '')
lyr = QgsVectorLayer(uri, name, 'delimitedtext')
#QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().addMapLayer(lyr)
In the new version o QGIS, the command QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().addMapLayer(lyr)
was discountinued. The solution is still valid if we substitute the former line by:
QgsProject.instance().addMapLayer(lyr)
Also you need to delete or comment the second line from qgis.core import QgsMapLayerRegistry
The solution works perfectly.
