Someone in #qgis just asked about this so here is a minimal pyqgis (for QGIS 3) example how you can write a separate WKT file for each feature of the currently selected layer. Careful with too many features, filesystems do not like ten thousands of files in the same directory. I am writing them to /tmp/
with $fid.wkt
as filename, adjust the path to your liking.
layer = iface.activeLayer() features = layer.getFeatures() for feature in features: geometry = feature.geometry() wkt = geometry.asWkt() fid = feature.attribute("fid") filename = "/tmp/{n}.wkt".format(n=fid) with open(filename, "w") as output: output.write(wkt)
Thanks for your patient and advice.
By your code I get a error message: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘C:/tmp/27.wkt’.
The attribut “name” schould be part of the filename. As jef correctet the code it works:
features = vlayer.getFeatures()
for feature in features:
name = feature.attribute(“name”)
filename = ‘C:/temp/wkt/{x}.txt’.format(x=name)
file = open(filename, “w”)
file.write(feature.geometry().asWkt())
file.close()
Thanks a lot :)
