KML to Shape

[miketerror]

Hi i need the logic of converting KML file to shape file. I analyzed kml file and found that only the co ordinates can be taken from it which acts as input to create a shape file.But where thus these coordinates gets mapped inside shape file format? I reviewed the shape file format also .

Can you tell me how do you get to see the co ordinates of a kml file?
Best regards

Just open it with a text editor.

Do you have a compelling reason to do this yourself? If not, just use Kml2shp (http://www.zonums.com/kml2shp.html).
