Hi. I am trying to convert raster files to ascii files to use in a modeling program. I have done this before a couple years ago using the 9.3 version and never had any problems. When I use the raster to ascii tool, I choose .asc in the 'Save as type' box, but it keeps saving as a text file. Just to try it out, I redid it selecting Save as a .txt file'. This time, it saved as an .asc like I wanted, but I'm concerned it won't behave correctly. Is it just that the extension labels are mixed? I'm wary of moving forward with my modeling project if the file is not in the correct format. I tried to open it in notepad to check, but it is too big to view there (it is a global coverage of river basins). Is there some way to verify that the output file (when choosing 'save as .txt) really is an ascii file?
Thank-you,
Laura
