Hi I'm going to be converting 100s of Arc ASCII grids to ESRI Grid then to contours. Overall I want to keep the same name. Is this possible in batch geoprocessing? I've used the iteration command in batch geoprocessinig (using the '%i%') before but was wondering if there was another way to keep the name exactly the same. I have some python experience but have never tried to keep the name the same for so many files.
Overall the ascii file is called something like 'elevation_k1.asc' then I want convert it to ESRI grid and be called 'elevation_k1' and I want that name to be the same when I convert it to contours.
Anyone have any tips, tricks, or recommendations in keeping that file name the same name? Thanks.
