Move to next item in list

NoahHuntington

I am attempting to utilize a function to save the output of a geoproceessing tool inside a loop.  The function iterates thru the list with each iteration of the loop.   However if I want to save the output feature class as function " + 1" how do I achieve this. This would be similar to function(count + 1)? Only using characters instead of integers.

Function:

def get_LCP(letter):     for letter in ['A','B','C','D','E','F']:         return os.path.join(savepath  + "\\Scratch.gdb"  + "\\LCP_" + (letter))

Loop:

    count = 0     while count < 2: ...         costPath2 =CostPath(originValue, setNull2,get_backlink(count + 1),"EACH_CELL","")         costPath2.save(get_LCP(letter).next)

I think what you want to do is change 'get_backlink(count + 1)' to 'get_backlink(chr(count + 64)) ', or possibly to 65 0r 66, can't be sure from your code, since it looks like you first use count when it's 1. Depends on the rest of your code. Since you're first looking for 'A', you want to add whichever number gets you to 65, assuming this is ascii.

However, you'll never get past 'C' , since your loop exits once it hits 2.

edit: oh, and don't forget to increment count or you'll be in an infinite loop. Maybe that's elsewhere in your code.
