I am trying to join multiple fields using an update cursor, I want to trim a filed to a specific length while the cursor iterates through and adds another field to the final string. I am working with a streets data set and will need to do this for streets that have no pre direction and streets that have a pre direction. I want to take only the first 5 character of the street name when there is no pre directions and the first 3 character when there is a pre direction.
When I run this script (testing it only for streets with no pre direction) I do not get any errors but nothing is updated in the feature class.
