For instance if I want a script to go into a particular attribute table and then create a list in a text file of all the attributes for a particular feature class, I need to know what to type in the script. These words come from the arcgisscripting module however I need a manual or some list of code that is in this module in order to be able to use it. I have searched up and down for this and thought it would be something that is avaialbe to anyone who needs to use arcgisscripting to write script tools. Am I wrong? what happens with other modules?? Are there lists of code/words for all modules that you can use to know what to do with the module?</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>The way I am interpreting all of this new coding stuff is that each module is like a language in itself with words/codes that mean something to python but how am I meant to tell python what words/code I want to use if I don't know the words/codes that are available and what they mean??</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I hope this makes sense to some one!</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Carma Gerber</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 11 Nov 2011 00:03:35 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/python-and-arcgisscripting-arcpy/m-p/62651#M5076 CarmaGerber2 2011-11-11T00:03:35Z Re: python and arcgisscripting/arcpy https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/python-and-arcgisscripting-arcpy/m-p/62652#M5077 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><A href="http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.3/index.cfm?TopicName=An_overview_of_writing_geoprocessing_scripts">http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.3/index.cfm?TopicName=An_overview_of_writing_geoprocessing_scripts</A></BODY></HTML> Tue, 15 Nov 2011 15:23:42 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/python-and-arcgisscripting-arcpy/m-p/62652#M5077 MathewCoyle 2011-11-15T15:23:42Z
