Empty output generated with python script tool in model builder?

Question

Hi, So I have been trying to figure out why some of my script tools work and some don't. They are very simple and straight forward, but for some reason they don't generate an output. I am using the script below in conjunction with other added variables in the model that I am working on. import arcpy arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True #Set parameters inputList = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) w = ''.join(list(inputList)) x = w.find('-') if x > 0: y = w.replace('-', '_') if y.find(';') > 0: z = y.replace(';','_') print z #Output Parameter arcpy.SetParameterAsText(1, z) #Add Message arcpy.AddMessage('string {} added'.format(z)) ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ I have the input set to any values with multivalue set to yes. If anyone has any ideas on how or why this isn't working and could help me with this I would greatly appreciate it. Robert

Hi Dan,

So with random luck I was actually able to get it to work.

Thanks for the help Dan.

The semicolon delimited list is indeed there.

The first input from the list is

dmdb_amdb_tmdb_amdb_bmdb_amdb_smdb_emdb

which I am wildly guessing isn't what you want. Further splitting is possible for whatever it is you are using it for, but you might be ending up with a list of lists.

good luck

Sorry Dan,

I should have provided what that would have looked like when it is finished.
