I am having an issue with raw_input as a variable x.

sort of agree, but at the operating system level... a = r 'C:\Temp\a\aa\a0\a00' os . path . exists ( a ) True b = r 'C:\\Temp\\a\\aa\\a0\\a00' os . path . exists ( b ) True

Just a couple of things that might help in my understanding your question. First, escaping vs. raw string, I just want to make sure this isn't the actual issue. folder = r 'S:\\GIS\ServerMXDs\\_Future_Services\\CityWorks' # should be folder = r 'S:\GIS\ServerMXDs\_Future_Services\CityWorks' # or folder = 'S:\\GIS\\ServerMXDs\\_Future_Services\\CityWorks' Second. Are you examining the layer source path for a specific name, such as layer.dataSource contains "ServiceEstablishments"? Are you also checking layer.name for this value as "ServiceEstablishments" may be an alias for a data source path that does not contain the phrase? I think your "in" and "split" would otherwise work.

I tried the different \\ regarding escape characters and I don't get any different results.

I am looking up layer.dataSource which is the actual feature class name.

sort of agree, but at the operating system level...

Second. Are you examining the layer source path for a specific name, such as layer.dataSource contains "ServiceEstablishments"? Are you also checking layer.name for this value as "ServiceEstablishments" may be an alias for a data source path that does not contain the phrase?

I think your "in" and "split" would otherwise work.

DevinUnderwood2

Thanks for this advice.

I haven't used the in very much, I did and it works.

I now see that the

if x in str((ly.split ('\\')[2:])):

is causing the issue.

It is indexed correctly, but something is not right in the loop input syntax.

DanPatterson_Retired

Well it returns a string, but is that a little minus sign on the line before your commented out line?

I use python 3.X so raw_input is now 'input', just to show that it does return a string

b <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> input<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">"type in feature name: "</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>

type <SPAN class="keyword token">in</SPAN> feature name<SPAN class="punctuation token">:</SPAN> back<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>atyoub

<SPAN class="string token">'back.atyou'</SPAN>‍‍‍‍‍‍

c <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">'here is a string... back.atyou'</SPAN>

b <SPAN class="keyword token">in</SPAN> c
<SPAN class="token boolean">True</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

DevinUnderwood2

I use the following print statement and get the correct results as seen below (the feature class name)

print "Feature Classes Name:" + str((ly.split ('\\')[2:]))

I have it indexed correctly and results are correct but I have an issue when using the user input.

Feature Classes Name:['BACK.Address_Points']

DanPatterson_Retired

Not sure if I follow the logic why you are only looking at the slice portion ( ie [2:] ), but I suspect it might have something to do with it....

lyr <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> r<SPAN class="string token">'my\ServiceEstablishments\stuff'</SPAN>

a <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">'ServiceEstablishments'</SPAN>

a <SPAN class="keyword token">in</SPAN> lyr
<SPAN class="token boolean">True</SPAN>

a <SPAN class="keyword token">in</SPAN> lyr<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>split<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">'\\'</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
<SPAN class="token boolean">True</SPAN>
a <SPAN class="keyword token">in</SPAN> lyr<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>split<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">'\\'</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN><SPAN class="number token">2</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">:</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN>&nbsp; <SPAN class="comment token"># should fail the slice is wrong</SPAN>
<SPAN class="token boolean">False</SPAN>

a <SPAN class="keyword token">in</SPAN> lyr<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>split<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">'\\'</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN><SPAN class="number token">1</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">:</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN>&nbsp; <SPAN class="comment token"># change the slice... remember slices are 0-based</SPAN>
<SPAN class="token boolean">True</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

It runs with a type in feature name: prompt that repeats every time I type something and yield no results.

I am running it in Jupyter Notebook

bixb0012

When you say it isn't working with raw_input, what exactly isn't working? Is there an error? If so, what error? Does it run but not print anything?

And, where/how are you running this code?
