Append a list of shapes to a feature class

FlavioFelix

I recieve every month a folder with many shapes.

I have to export one by to a file geodatabase. 

I'm trying to create a script that append the list of shapes in a folder to a file geodatabase and I don't find a solution.

I'm new in python so looking for solutions trying this.

import arcpy

out=r'F:\CAR_Geral.gdb'
shapes=r'F:\INSCRITO_CAR'

for i in shapes:
arcpy.FeatureClassToGeodatabase_conversion(shapes,out)

FeatureClassToGeodatabase example (Python window)

The following Python window script demonstrates how to use the FeatureClassToGeodatabase function in immediate mode.

<SPAN class="" style="color: #aa0d91;">import</SPAN> arcpy arcpy.env.workspace = <SPAN class="" style="color: #c41a16;">'C:/data'
</SPAN>arcpy.FeatureClassToGeodatabase_conversion([<SPAN class="" style="color: #c41a16;">'climate.shp'</SPAN>, <SPAN class="" style="color: #c41a16;">'majorrds.shp'</SPAN>],
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <SPAN class="" style="color: #c41a16;">'C:/output/output.gdb'</SPAN>)

Try the following:

<SPAN class="keyword token">import</SPAN> arcpy

gdb <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> r<SPAN class="string token">'F:\CAR_Geral.gdb'</SPAN>
ws <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> r<SPAN class="string token">'F:\INSCRITO_CAR'</SPAN>

arcpy<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>env<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>workspace <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> ws
arcpy<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>FeatureClassToGeodatabase_conversion<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; arcpy<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>ListFeatureClasses<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">'*.shp'</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; gdb
