arcpy search/update cursor not working

[MarkWisniewski]

Im running my script in ArcGIS 10.2 and the dialog window says completed, but the empty fields in the 'SoilsType' row of the 'mSoils' Feature Class aren't getting populated with the values from the 'SoilsType' field from the 'mLanduse' Feature Class.

cur = arcpy.da.SearchCursor(mLanduse, lField)
for row in cur:
 cur2 = arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(mSoils, sField)
 for row2 in cur2:
   if row2[0] == '' or row2[0] is None:
  row2[0] = lField
  cur2.updateRow(row2)

Oh, I see what you are saying Curtis, but I thought that was all achieved with the SelectLayerByLocation.

Ernst, select layer by location will simply select all the soil layer polygons that are within all your land use polygons. You could use this in your for loop, so that you select each feature, and then select by location the feature in the other class that is within your selected feature.
