<type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: 'function' object is unsubscriptable

So, this is my code:

import arcpy
from arcpy import env
import os
#
env.workspace = arcpy.GetParameterAsText[0] #r"D:\Lorna\Project\Working\Outputs\LooseClip"
outLocation = arcpy.GetParameterAsText[1] #r"D:\Lorna\Project\Working\Outputs\ClippedFeaturesGDB.gdb"
# Use the ListFeatureClasses function to return a list of
# all shapefiles in workspace.
#
fcList = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses()
                              
#shapefiles are named <feature>Clip_<PAid>.shp
#this loop takes each fc, calculates a field which is populated by the PAid out of its file name
#and then appends the shapefile to the appropriate feature class.
for fc in fcList:
    myPA = fc[fc.find("_")+1:fc.find(".")]
    arcpy.CalculateField_management(env.workspace + os.sep + fc, "PAid", "\""+myPA+"\"", "VB", "")
   
    myFeature = fc[:fc.find("Clip")]        
    arcpy.Append_management(fc, outLocation + os.sep + "Clip"+ myFeature)
    print myFeature 

The user has to input each parameter as a string. It basically takes the features from a folder, puts an id into a field and appends them together (see comments). This works perfectly on its own, run from pythonwin, but fails miserably when I try to run it from model builder.

<type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: 'function' object is unsubscriptable

is the error I get.

Does anyone know what the problem is? I'm new to this so be nice!

Thanks for your help,

Lorna

Oh, your problem is actually the square brackets in GetParameterAsText:

env.workspace = arcpy.GetParameterAsText[0] #r"D:\Lorna\Project\Working\Outputs\LooseClip" 
outLocation = arcpy.GetParameterAsText[1] #r"D:\Lorna\Project\Working\Outputs\ClippedFeaturesGDB.gdb" 

They should be round brackets:

env.workspace = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) #r"D:\Lorna\Project\Working\Outputs\LooseClip" 
outLocation = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1) #r"D:\Lorna\Project\Working\Outputs\ClippedFeaturesGDB.gdb" 

Square brackets are used for subscripts (indexes to lists, etc.), which is what your error was actually saying...
