I am trying to figure out how to concatenate two strings using the arcpy.da.UpdateCursor method (newbie to python scripting). I have tried many trial and error attempts in the basic code from resource center, and have yet to get one that will work. Here is the code I am working with:import arcpy fc = " C:\Users\cc1\Desktop\Metro_Bus_Stops.shp" fields = ('City','TRIAL') with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(fc, fields) as cursor: in cursor: row[0] = row[1] cursor.updateRow(row)
This code works fine for updating a new field with the current data form another field. But I cannot get it to concatenate two fields together for the new third field. Also, I have seen some literature with the ''.join() method, that I am interested in. I am working with over 7 million records, and every once of performance I can gain is needed.
