Hi

I have an attribute table with many fields where I have to change the field name. Most of the field names start with All_txt_ .

As I found out in the Data Management Forum, there is no way to automatically change all these field names in ArcGIS with a tool. Can someone tell me on how to do so with python? (I am not familiar with Python)

I already saw this page: Mapping input fields to output fields—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop
However, it does not really help me further as I don't know Python so well..

Best, P.

The very worst is when, after several lengthy back-and-forths, a poster says your answer fixed their problem, and thanks you, but doesn't mark your answer correct. Then, when you gently nudge them to mark their question as answered, they mark it "assumed answered", and at the same time, ask you another question.   Sorry for the Off-topic rant PV. This wasn't about you. I thought you handled things fine.
