I Want to delete some text element but my script is not working

OLANIYANOLAKUNLE

I created some text element by cloning the original text element, I intend to delete all the cloned text elements after using them but after running my script it does not work at all, any suggestions. The cloned text elements are named Table Text_clone1, Table text_clone2 etc, see my code below

>>> mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("Current") >>> tableText = arcpy.mapping.ListLayoutElements(mxd, "TEXT_ELEMENT", "TableText")[0] >>> for elm in arcpy.mapping.ListLayoutElements(mxd, wildcard="_clone"): ...     elm.delete() ...

Think I figured it out. Wildcard needs a wildcard:

mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("Current") tableText = arcpy.mapping.ListLayoutElements(mxd, "TEXT_ELEMENT", "TableText")[0] for elm in arcpy.mapping.ListLayoutElements(mxd, wildcard="*_clone"):     print elm.name #just to double check you're actually getting results in the list     elm.delete()

What version of ArcGIS are you on (10.0 and under don't have the delete() method)?

Think I figured it out. Wildcard needs a wildcard:

mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("Current")
tableText = arcpy.mapping.ListLayoutElements(mxd, "TEXT_ELEMENT", "TableText")[0]
for elm in arcpy.mapping.ListLayoutElements(mxd, wildcard="*_clone"):
    print elm.name #just to double check you're actually getting results in the list
    elm.delete()

Thanks it worked perfectly!!! Although i added an extra *
for elm in arcpy.mapping.ListLayoutElements(mxd, wildcard="*_clone*"):
