I have a shapefile for hospitals and in the attribute table I added a  new field. My goal is to use a while loop and create a search cursor that will merge the data in the address,city,state, and zipcode fields into the new FullAddR field I successfully added. My addfield management code added the field successfully and its blank. But, I think there is something wrong with my update cursor info in the while loop. I'm not sure how to use the row.setValue to merge all the info from the different fields into one if that's even the right direction i should be going in. #import arcpy module import arcpy from arcpy import env arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True # I am setting the work path env = r'S:\\376\\Summer15-2\\ahutche1\\lab07_data\\SectionB\\' #I am setting the variable for the hospitals shapefile hospitals = 'Hospitals' #I will add a new "FULLAddR" field to the table in the hospitals shapefile arcpy.AddField_management(env+hospitals+'.shp','FullAddR', "FLOAT",20) #I am setting the variable for the new field. field1 = "FullAddR" #I am setting the variables for the fields I want to take information from #in order to merge it into the new field I just created. address = "ADDRESS" city = "CITY" state = "STATE" zipcode = "ZIPCODE" #I will create a cursor to update the FullAddR field cursor1 = arcpy.UpdateCursor(env+hospitals+'.shp') #I swill set up the update cursor row = cursor1.next() #I will use a while loop in order to copy all the information from the #city,state,address,and zipcode fields into the single FullAddR field. while row:     row.setValue(field1,row.getValue(address,city,state,zipcode))     cursor.updateRow(row)     row = cursor1.next() ...

I have a schools shapefile with different facilities. I created a search cursor to only select records where the field "name" is equal to high school. Then I was to use a for loop to print out all the names of the different high schools. I managed to complete this successfully;however, I must also print out the no. of high schools that I just queried in the search cursor. So for instance I managed to use the search cursor to print out 35 high schools (or atleast their names). How would I use the search cursor to print out the no. of records or no. of highschools that I have just printed out. I can't use the selectlayer only search cursor. Here's my code below. #import arcpy module import arcpy from arcpy import env arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True # I am setting the work path env = 'S:\\376\\Summer15-2\\ahutche1\\lab07_data\\SectionB\\' #I will set the variable for the schools shapefile schools = 'Schools' #create search cursor to loop thru schools. use where clause to return schools #that are high schools. Use loops #print out all the highschool names #print total no. of high school records sr = arcpy.SpatialReference(4326) #I will create a search cursor for the schools shapefile field = "NAME" exp1 = '"FACILITY" = \'HIGH SCHOOL\'' cursor = arcpy.SearchCursor(env+schools+'.shp',exp1) #I have now printed out all of the names of the facilities that are high schools for row in cursor:     print(row.getValue(field)) #this code above was successful #I am attempting to print out the number of facilities that are highschools  but this is wrong because it prints out the total no. of records and not the ones I queried above. #while cursor:     #count = arcpy.GetCount_management(env+schools+'.shp')     #result = int(count.getOutput(0))     #print result     #break ...

I need to create a search cursor to print out the values in an attribute table for a school shapefile. I need to print out all the values that correspond to HIGH SCHOOL in the field FACILITY for the School shapefile. For some reason the search cursor won't work when I try to apply the sql expression but works without it. I don't want to print out all the values in that field just specific ones. Is there something wrong with my sql statement? #import arcpy module import arcpy from arcpy import env arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True # I am setting the work path env = 'S:\\376\\Summer15-2\\ahutche1\\lab07_data\\SectionB\\' #I will set the variable for the schools shapefile schools = 'Schools' #create search cursor to loop thru schools. use where clause to return schools #that are high schools. Use loops #print out all the highschool names #print total no. of high school records sr = arcpy.SpatialReference(4326) #I will create a search cursor for the schools shapefile field = "FACILITY" exp1 = '"FACILITY" = "HIGH SCHOOL"' cursor = arcpy.SearchCursor(env+schools+'.shp',exp1) for row in cursor:     print(row.getValue(field)) ...
