Hi could anyone please, help me to rewrite the code from VB to python?
Expresion:

strCobj

Dim strCobj as string
If Mid ( [PointId],2,1 ) = 1 Then
strCobj = "O"& Mid ( [PointId],3,3 )

elseif Mid ( [PointId],2,1 ) = 9 Then
strCobj = ""

elseif Mid ( [PointId],2,1 ) = 0 Then
strCobj = "F"& Mid ( [PointId],3,3 )

end if

So far Im failed.
I m using arcgis10 and the old one VB code doesnt work:(

This should be equivalent:

if PointId[1:2] == 1:
  strCobj = "O" + PointId[2:5]
elif PointId[1:2] == 9:
  strCobj = ""
elif PointId[1:2] == 0:
  strCobj = "F" + PointId[2:5]

Python thinks in terms of offsets from the first position, so the first character has an offset of 0. Check out the section on 'slicing' in the tutorial that comes with Python help.
