there is an identifier in each .txt file that tells you which .txt<br>
file it is, or<br>
if this is a highly unusual situation, and you don't need to go back to<br>
the .txt data during data prep,<br>
you can use the copy command from your OS.<br>
For example, in Windows put all of the files in one folder. Go to the<br>
command prompt. Navigate to the folder.<br>
In teh command prompt window type copy *.txt all.asc.<br>
Exit the command prompt.<br>
Use explorer to go to the folder. Move all.asc to the place you want<br>
it. Rename it to .txt or just read it in as .asc.<br>
<br>
How are you using the word raster? I would usually associate it with<br>
binary or jpeg type data.<br>
<br>
Scripts are now considered by many to be obsolete, you may want to stick<br>
with syntax and use Python to generlize.<br>
<br>
If this does not meet your needs please repost and ask specifically<br>
about using python.<br>

I am trying to import several 1000 ascii (*.TXT ) raster files into<br>
into single variable SPSS files (syntax below for 1 file). I am new to<br>
SPSS scripting so I am looking for samples (basic or vb) that I can<br>
learn from?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
