Attribute Editing

Question

Hello!
I need some assistance with how to edit a few attributes. I did a calculate field process that worked, but it duplicated some of my values in the process. I am editing some data in relation to streets and street types, so some of my values now have duplicated street type information. What are a few ways I can go about editing this? I am working on this through ArcGIS Pro.

Thanks!

You could use an Arcade replace function.

// Set up the street name
var n = NAME

// Search NAME for the string ' St' and replace with no characters. Repeat for other street types.
var r = replace(NAME,' St','')
return r

When removing/replacing the duplicate values in the NAME field, how would I format a script that would obtain this objective? I'm still very new to Python, and the help pages I've looked at so far have directed me to utilize a Reclassification to change those values. Is this the correct method to utilize? I've used the .replace() to initially change values such as 'Block' to 'BL,' so I would assume I would have to use that function to some degree to replace 'DR' to ' ' as an example.

Thank you!! Would I utilize this with an if/else statement? How would the formatting look for a replace function?
