arcpy.ListTables

kapalczynski — Tue, 26 Sep 2023 20:00:53 GMT

I am looking for three table names in my GDB. Is there a way to put this into one statement

Im trying to use wildcard with * to grab all instances of that name

ListTables ({wild_card}, {table_type})

tablesList1 = arcpy.ListTables("*TBL_BMP_*") tablesList2 = arcpy.ListTables("*SDE_BMP_Component*") tablesList3 = arcpy.ListTables("*SDE_BMP_Inventory*")

tablesList1 = arcpy.ListTables("[*TBL_BMP_*,*SDE_BMP_Component*,*SDE_BMP_Inventory*]")

I think I can get it with this? Testing now..

FCS = set(arcpy.ListTables("X_*") + arcpy.ListTables("*_Y"))

This is untested, but you get the idea.

tables_found = [] for wildcard_name in ["*TBL_BMP_*", "*SDE_BMP_Component*", "*SDE_BMP_Inventory*"]: tables_found += arcpy.ListTables(wildcard_name)
