Basic ?: Script to apply color map not working, need help

Question

I lifted some script text out of the help documentation, but nothing happens when I run it in the python window.  It appears that the list of rasters returns empty, as the script starts and then finishes in less than one second. I'm new to python, so am not even sure where to begin troubleshooting.

(See script posted in third reply, below)

Thanks for the tip!  I also noted in documentation that the workspace path should contain / instead of \, as the latter is a line continuation character in python.  The two changes together worked, it is now running.

Syntax is tricky for the beginner...

The problem is that your "for" is indented. You only indent after the colon (ie. after the "for").

Reposted script with code tags...## Add color map to DRGs
##====================================
import arcpy
from arcpy import env

# Set workspace
arcpy.env.workspace = "Y:\base_data\State\IL\100k_DRGs"

# Get list of grids
rasterList = arcpy.ListRasters("*", "GRID")

for raster in rasterList:
      ## Add Colormap
      try:
     
          ##Assign colormap using clr file
          arcpy.AddColormap_management(raster, "#", "ISA_DRG.clr")
          print raster

except:
          print "Add Colormap example failed."
          print arcpy.GetMessages()
