Counting GIS layers

MarkBooks2

Hello All,

Has anyone ever counted their GIS layers? If so, how?

One option is to use Windows Explorer and search for *.shp (and other GIS extensions) and looking at the count in the bottom of the results window.

Are there any other methods/tools?

thanks

Mark

Using Python, you can use a combination of os.walk (to traverse directory tree) and <A href="http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/ListFeatureClasses/018v00000018000000/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">arcpy.</A><A href="http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/ListFeatureClasses/018v00000018000000/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">ListFeatureClasses</A> (to list feature classes). Windows Explorer search won't include file geodatabase feature classes.

Thank you

Or there is another way around that you can do is to go to the folder where the files you want to look for such as shapefiles, excel or so on...

Explaining the Views Available in Windows Explorer and File Explorer

Look at number 3 and see the list under the View..change it to "Details" because it will give you all the deteails about the files and show you the columns. When you see "Type" there is a down arrow that will give you the list to choose from to display...

That is what I always do is to select one and delete anything you don't need not only for gis but in general...
