Print Each dataset in my geodatabase and then print each featureclass inside that

Hi All,

I got a scenario like,

Print Each dataset in my geodatabase and then print each featureclass inside that.

I can print standalone feature classes but not able to print based on the Feature dataset level.

Could you please help me on this?

Cheers
Antony

You can use ListDatasets("", "Features") function to list all feature datasets in geodatabase.
Example:

import arcpy

rootWorkspace = r"C:\tmp\Test.gdb"
arcpy.env.workspace = rootWorkspace

#list all feature datasets
featureDatasets = arcpy.ListDatasets("", "Feature")
for dataset in featureDatasets:

    #for each feature dataset change workspace and list feature classes it contains
    arcpy.env.workspace = rootWorkspace + "\\" + dataset
    print "Geodatabase dataset: " + dataset

    featureClasses = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses()
    for fc in featureClasses:
        print fc

#for each feature dataset change workspace and list feature classes it contains
arcpy.env.workspace = rootWorkspace + "\\" + dataset

Is the above line critical to get the script to acknowledge the 2nd dataset?

I am just setting the arcpy.env.workspace = dataset and it only works on the first dataset in a file geodatabase.
