+'''Procedure to create indexes for shapefiles on DOS shell'''[[BR]]
+
+I often need to create indexes for shapefiles. The shapefiles are on remote disc and are on many gerarchical folders[[BR]]
+So I use this simply but surely useful procedure to create the indexes using a dos shell.
+
+----
+Suppose the path to the root filder of shapefile is:[[BR]]
+
+F:\folder1\folder2[[BR]]
+
+you must run this simply script from a shell dos.[[BR]]
+
+{{{
+for /R F:\folder1\folder2 %f IN (*.shp) do ogrinfo.exe -sql "CREATE SPATIAL INDEX ON %~nf" %f
+}}}
+
+The script start from F:\folder1\folder2 and recurse on all the folder creating the index for every shapefile found and creating shapefile index.
+
+Happy indexing.
+
+Andrea Peri.
