Mid() function in Python

SLouq

I am trying to use the Python Mid() function to return strings starting at the 5th character.

I have tried

!STR_NAME!.Mid(5:20)

but that gives me a traceback error

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Thanks for helping me guys!

SLouq

Thanks guys! I got it to execute but it erased more chars than I wanted. Now I just have to re run the models and change the parameters around when I get to this point.

as per the lesson... 'b' is anything

like str(!STR_NAME!)[5:20]

See Dan's suggestions below... or:

str<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>!FieldName!<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN><SPAN class="number token">5</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">:</SPAN><SPAN class="number token">20</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN>‍‍<SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

how do I use that expression on a Field in ArcGIS Pro so it returns values starting at the 5th character?

JoeBorgione

Never heard of the mid() functin and couldn't find it with dr. google.

myString <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'</SPAN>
x <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> myString<SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN><SPAN class="number token">5</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">:</SPAN><SPAN class="number token">20</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN>
<SPAN class="keyword token">print</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>x<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
<SPAN class="comment token">#returns 'fghijklmnopqrst'</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

This works for me...
