How to create a mosaic of rasters based on name

[MarkBalman]

Hi all

Is it possible to create a mosaic of rasters according to file name using model builder? E.g. I have a lot of raster data using species binomial names i.e. genus_species with a suffix denoting range state (breeding, non-breeding etc). How would I loop through a folder of these species and create a new mosaic where a species might have two or more rasters? Is this even possible in model builder or would python be a better option (not much experience with python though).

Any tips/advice welcome!

Many thanks,

Mark

Usually the way to test this is run the sub models to see if you can find where the issue is. It could be that all the models need to be validated with real data for it to work.

Thanks Curtis

Am making some progress with this, and is amazingly useful.. so again, thank you for taking the time to do this, it is hugely appreciated. I am used to simple models but this is really helping me understand more about model builder.

Cheers!
