Trouble in converting ASCII file to raster using conversion tool

HaoyiXiong1 — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 02:09:40 GMT

I just create an ASCII from raster. Then use the ASCII to generate the raster using the conversion tool "ASCII to Raster" and I get an error. This ASCII can be converted in other computer. Other ASCII can not also be converted in my laptop. Any solutions?

Here is the error image:

Hey Finix,

Two suggestions:
1. This will probably work if you take the spaces out of your path names.
2. Alternatively, you can load the ascii file directly as a raster if you first change the extension to .asc. ArcGIS will recognize it as a raster file. When you're importing it, you have the option to specify projection. Then, use the copy raster tool or right click and use data -> export if you want to change the format.

Thank you, stoboy. I always thought there must be problem with the file itself. Turns out the path should have no space.
