Hi, I am new to python and I'm trying to use the python interface in ArcGIS to loop a function (buffer) over all files in a directory that I specified. I come up with the script below. However, when I run it, no errors are returned, but no files are created, nothing happens. What do I do? #Import arcpy
import arcpy
import os
#Naming the directory
rootdir = "C:\\Users\\Fred\\Desktop\\GIS\\ModelBuilder Project\\TEST"
#allowing overwriting
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True
#Setting up counter
thectr = 0
#For-loop for looping function over all files in a folder
for subdirs, dirs, files in os.walk(rootdir):
for file in files:
if file == '*.shp':
# Variables
input_layer = files
output_layer = "C:\\Users\\Fred\\Desktop\\GIS\\ModelBuilder Project\\TEST\\test" + str(thectr)
# Process: Buffer
arcpy.Buffer_analysis(input_layer, output_layer, "1 Kilometers", "FULL", "ROUND", "ALL", "")
#Update counter
thectr=thectr+1
I've also tried the script below, with the same result: # import modules
import arcpy, glob
# folder where shapefiles are stored
folder = 'C:/myfiles/'
# loop through all shapefiles
for shapefile in glob.glob( folder + '*.shp' ):
arcpy.Buffer_analysis( shapefile, "C:/output/" + shapefile[-8:-4] + "buffer.shp" "100 Feet", "FULL", "ROUND", "LIST", "Distance")
Ideas?
