Defining a variable for field name in python

GyeyoungChoi

I have a code looks like this

rows = arcpy.UpdateCursor(featureClass) 
row = rows.next()
#AddressFieldName = "ADD_FULL"
while row:
  s= row.ADD_FULL

I'd like to use the field name as variable but if I wan to try like:

s=row. + AddressFieldName

or such thing that I can think of won't work.

Is there any way that I can use it as variable?

Wes Miller is right you should look into using the faster da cursor. If you want to continue using the cursor you are using then rather than accessing the field name directly as you have use this approach:

myField = "ADD_FULL" # You can change this to what ever field name you want
rows = arcpy.UpdateCursor(featureClass)   
row = rows.next()   
while row:   
  s= row.getValue(myField)
  print s 
  row = rows.next()
