I've got a problem with the following script: import arcpy , os infile = r "C:\temp4\ALK_Merge.shp" infileL = "infile_Layer" count = int ( arcpy . GetCount_management ( infile ) . getOutput ( 0 ) ) x = 99 xC = count / x xC1 = xC + 2 for i in range ( 1 , xC1 ) : print i sPath = infile . split ( ".shp" ) print sPath xRange = i * 99 xRange1 = ( i * 99 ) - 99 print xRange print xRange1 outFeature = sPath + "_" + i + ".shp" arcpy . MakeFeatureLayer_management ( infile , infileL ) arcpy . SelectLayerByAttribute_management ( infileL , "NEW_SELECTION" , "\"FID\" + xRange + "AND" + "\"FID\" >= " + xRange1 + "" ) arcpy . CopyFeatures_management ( infileL , outFeature ) The problem is in line 25: outFeature = sPath + "_" + i + ".shp" TypeError: can only concatenate list (not "str") to list Any ideas how to solve this?

The method you are using to create the chunks to get exactly 99 features will only work in case there were no deletes in the featureclass. Take the following example: def main ( ) : import arcpy fc = r 'C:\GeoNet\ArcadeMedellin\ArcadeMedellin.gdb\Solicitudes' oids = [ r [ 0 ] for r in arcpy . da . SearchCursor ( fc , ( 'OID@' ) ) ] print "FID 99 is at index:" , oids . index ( 99 ) cnt = 0 for lst in chunks ( oids , 99 ) : cnt += 1 print "\nChunk {0} has {1} elements" . format ( cnt , len ( lst ) ) print " - OID from {0} to {1}" . format ( min ( lst ) , max ( lst ) ) def chunks ( l , n ) : """Yield successive n-sized chunks from l.""" for i in range ( 0 , len ( l ) , n ) : yield l [ i : i + n ] if __name__ == '__main__' : main ( ) this will yield: FID 99 is at index: 92 Chunk 1 has 99 elements - OID from 1 to 105 Chunk 2 has 99 elements - OID from 106 to 211 Chunk 3 has 36 elements - OID from 212 to 250 The OID are not continuous, so the chunk function provides a more stable way of creating the appropriate chucks of 99 elements.

Isn't the value of i numeric as well? That seems problematic as well. While solidly in the rookie phase in my Python carreer, could you join spath into a string, and then concatenate it with i after casting i as a string:

spath <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">''</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>join<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>infile<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>split<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">".shp"</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
outfeature <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> spath<SPAN class="operator token">+</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">'_'</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">+</SPAN>str<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>i<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">+</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">'_ '</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">".shp"</SPAN>

Because I want to tile the "bigger" shape into "shapes" with exactly 99 features and therefore need to give different names for the output feature class.

XanderBakker

When yo do sPath = infile.split(".shp") on line 16 he variable sPath will be a list and can't be concatenated with a string. However there are more things going on in your code. I will post an alternative later.
