Labeling the sequence using concatenation

RudiniRudini — Sat, 11 Dec 2021 10:26:17 GMT

Hi again..
sorry for asking so many questions
i just found interest way working arcgis with python..
btw im new to this way of working so im sorry if the question sometime hard to understand..

so here is my question..
i have feature point data with 3 fields in table attribute (objectID, shape and sequence)..
i want to add another field lets say called "name_sequence)..

in the name_sequence field i want to add text which have format "x+yyy", ("x", "+", "yyy")

in loop every 100, start with 0+000..

so it become like this

0+000, 0+100, 0+200, .... 0+900

the point after +900 it will add "x+1" so in data no 11 it'll show 1+000 after that they will have same sequence as i mention above..
furthermore, after i searching the code i found we can use range function and concat function to do that..
so i come with the code like this..

import arcpy

 new_field = 'Seq_Name' #Change
 fc = r'directory' #Change

 arcpy.AddField_management(in_table=fc, field_name=new_field, field_type='TEXT')

 for i = 1 to 10
 a = i
 b = i*100
 srt_join = concat(srt(a),"+", srt(b))
 end for ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

i know it might be totally wrong code or it is not complete yet.

so i want to know what should i add for this code?

or do you have another way to do this without arcpy?

and i want know new understanding about python's things..

for your understanding i attach the result of my data which i working in excel..
thanks for your time

unless you want to get into updatecursors or insertcursors and you seem to be using excel a lot,

why not have a look at a quick script call to this do bring in your spreadsheet directly

I didn't test the code, but I assume you could use something like this (untested):

def main():
    import arcpy
    fc = r'Drive:\Path\To\Source\FC'
    fld_seq = 'SequenceLbl'

    # Add field if it does not exist already
    AddField(fc, fld_seq, "TEXT", 12)

    # start update cursor to update the values in the new field
    flds = (fld_seq)
    cnt = 0
    with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(fc, flds) as curs:
        for row in curs:
            cnt += 1
            km, hect = divmod(cnt, 10)
            hect_txt = "%03d" % (hect * 100,)
            lbl = "{}+{}".format(km, hect_txt)
            print cnt, hect_txt
            curs.updateRow((lbl, ))


def AddField(tbl, fld_name, fld_type, fld_length):
    if len(arcpy.ListFields(tbl, fld_name)) == 0:
        arcpy.AddField_management(tbl, fld_name, fld_type, None, None, fld_length)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

When I run some test code like shown below:

def main():
    cnt = 0
    for i in range(25):
        cnt += 1
        km, hect = divmod(cnt, 10)
        hect_txt = "%03d" % (hect * 100,)
        lbl = "{}+{}".format(km, hect_txt)
        print("{}:  {}".format(cnt, lbl))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

... the output is:

1:  0+100
2:  0+200
3:  0+300
4:  0+400
5:  0+500
6:  0+600
7:  0+700
8:  0+800
9:  0+900
10:  1+000
11:  1+100
12:  1+200
13:  1+300
14:  1+400
15:  1+500
16:  1+600
17:  1+700
18:  1+800
19:  1+900
20:  2+000
21:  2+100
22:  2+200
23:  2+300
24:  2+400
25:  2+500‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
