Someone can explain how to use the files?

thanks in advanced.

its already said in the sites :

(Data types: Data with a name of the form XX mesh is mesh data. If the data name is suffixed with (point), (line), (surface) or (table), this indicates point data, line data, surface data or table data.)

so what is the problem? hem, what is the extension of the data?

regards,

Artur_Indio,

I came on this webpage. It seemed that they started with the conversion of these blurry txt files into gml and shape.

Below you can download a converter tool. Maybe you should try this?

Ow gisadept thank you for you help. Well, the files that i want are the hidrological, this files still are not converted to shape and the tools that exist in the webpage are just to convert .XML files into .SHP. This webpage have the original files used by japan government

http://nlftp.mlit.go.jp/ksj-e/old/cgi-bin/_kategori_view.cgi

there are the all files of hidrologic data, but these files are in .TXT. I think that i'm don't getting convert the .TXT files in global mapper because the japan font.

thanks in adv.

MExcel 2007 recognize format as JIS. I simply imported it in. Check for headers if they are correct convert them to SHP.
