  • To highlight multiple files that are adjacent to each other in the list, hold down the Shift key and click the first and last file names in that section of the list.
  • To highlight multiple non-adjacent files, hold down the Ctrl key while you click the file names.

Move the files to the selection list on the right side of the panel.

Move the items to the selection list on the right side of the panel.

Wildcard

Enter any characters used as wildcards.  Wildcard characters can be an * as well as regular characters.  

Example:  If the topo_* were used as a wildcard, the result might be topo _area2_aerial, topo _min, or topo _with_pit.

Click OK.

If you have chosen to export a single file, you will be prompted for the name of the resulting file, as well as its storage location. If you have chosen to export several files, the export will automatically commence, with the resulting Esri grid files inheriting the names of the original Vulcan grid files, but with an extension of.asc added to end of the file name.

Example:  If your Vulcan grid file is named 'vulcan.tpg', then the resulting Esri grid file will be named 'vulcan.tpg.asc'.
