Hi there, I am attempting to modify the Batch Project script to:[INDENT]a) read from a text file of file names located on our serverb) build a mirror of the paths to those files on my local machinec) output to my local machine at the end of those paths. The paths should also be appended to a user specified location[/INDENT]My code works to an extent, but stops after the first projection, as per:[INDENT]Projected S:\FMM\_Projects\Pyramid\Reports\Pyramid\Data_Transfer\Pyramid_FromJoey2010oct\GIS\Geochem\Geochem Merged\Pyramid_PanCon.shp to C:\Users\revresources\scratch\shapefiles\Test_Output\test3\FMM\_Projects\Pyramid\Reports\Pyramid\Data_Transfer\Pyramid_FromJoey2010oct\GIS\Geology\SWAK 2008 mapping shapefiles\2008_Alteration.shp successfully.Failed to project S:\FMM\_Projects\Pyramid\Reports\Pyramid\Data_Transfer\Pyramid_FromJoey2010oct\GIS\Geochem\Geochem Merged\Pyramid_Rocks.shp.
