After I had extracted the .gz files using 7-zip, there seemed to only be an empty folder. However, when I used 7-zip again on the empty folder, aka extracting one more time, the files appeared in the folder ready to use.&nbsp;</P><P></P><P>Hope this helps!</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 13 Mar 2019 21:33:26 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/how-to-import-gz-files-into-shapefiles/m-p/576350#M6282 HaleyProehl 2019-03-13T21:33:26Z Re: How to import .gz files into shapefiles https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/how-to-import-gz-files-into-shapefiles/m-p/1284142#M8508 <P>Hi Ross,&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I ran into the same problem.
