I have 50 features with a field that I want to use to hold the URLs of the images that correspond to the features. What I want to do is simple, the first half of the URL is the same for all features (ie gisdata.com/images/tree.jpg), the only thing that differs is the unique name of the image (ie - tree.jpg). Using the field calculator, what would my syntax need to read?

THANK YOU!

If you have the name of the image in the table already, you can set the new column like this (Python syntax):

 'https://gisdata.com/images/' + !COL_NAME!

where COL_NAME is the column that contains the file name text.
