HI,

I need to add "_var86" to the output file in the code below. How can I achieve it in the code below. 

Thanks in advance.

import arcpy, sys 
from arcpy import env 
from arcpy.sa import * 
 
# Input data source 
arcpy.env.workspace = r"C:/Users/Desktop/weekly_avg_project" 
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True 
 
# Set output folder 
OutputFolder = r"C:/Users/Desktop/weekly_avg_project/output" 
 
# Loop through a list of files in the workspace 
NCfiles = arcpy.ListFiles("*.nc") 
 
for filename in NCfiles: 
 print("Processing: " + filename) 
 inNCfiles = arcpy.env.workspace + "//" + filename 
 fileroot = filename[0:(len(filename)-3)] 
 TempLayerFile = "SM_amount" 
 outRaster = OutputFolder + "//" + fileroot 
 # Process: Make NetCDF Raster Layer 
 outfile = arcpy.MakeNetCDFRasterLayer_md(filename, "var86", "lon", "lat", TempLayerFile, "", "", "BY_VALUE") 
 proj_ras = arcpy.ProjectRaster_management(outfile, "C:/Users/Desktop/weekly_avg_project/project_ras","GEOGCS['GCS_North_American_1983',DATUM['D_North_American_1983',SPHEROID['GRS_1980',6378137.0,298.257222101]],PRIMEM['Greenwich',0.0],UNIT['Degree',0.0174532925199433]]", "NEAREST", "0.125 0.125", "NAD_1983_To_WGS_1984_1", "", "GEOGCS['GCS_WGS_1984',DATUM['D_WGS_1984',SPHEROID['WGS_1984',6378137.0,298.257223563]],PRIMEM['Greenwich',0.0],UNIT['Degree',0.0174532925199433]]")
 # Process: Copy Raster 
 arcpy.CopyRaster_management(proj_ras, outRaster + ".tif", "", "", "", "NONE", "NONE", "")‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I see... the below code may work.  

import arcpy, sys 
from arcpy import env 
from arcpy.sa import * 
 
# Input data source 
arcpy.env.workspace = r"C:/Users/Desktop/weekly_avg_project" 
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True 
 
# Set output folder 
OutputFolder = r"C:/Users/Desktop/weekly_avg_project/output" 
 
# Loop through a list of files in the workspace 
NCfiles = arcpy.ListFiles("*.nc") 
 
for filename in NCfiles: 
 print("Processing: " + filename) 
 inNCfiles = arcpy.env.workspace + "//" + filename 
 fileroot = filename[:(len(filename)-3)] + '_var86' 
#fileroot = filename[:-3] + '_var86' #I think this will work too- and is easier to read
 ....

Do you need to just rename the output filename?  If so, it seems like the output layer is currently the 'TempLayerFile' variable.  You can rename that like the code below. 

import arcpy, sys 
from arcpy import env 
from arcpy.sa import * 
 
# Input data source 
arcpy.env.workspace = r"C:/Users/Desktop/weekly_avg_project" 
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True 
 
# Set output folder 
OutputFolder = r"C:/Users/Desktop/weekly_avg_project/output" 
 
# Loop through a list of files in the workspace 
NCfiles = arcpy.ListFiles("*.nc") 
 
for filename in NCfiles: 
 print("Processing: " + filename) 
 inNCfiles = arcpy.env.workspace + "//" + filename 
 fileroot = filename[0:(len(filename)-3)] 
 TempLayerFile = "SM_amount_var86" 
 outRaster = OutputFolder + "//" + fileroot 
 # Process: Make NetCDF Raster Layer 
 outfile = arcpy.MakeNetCDFRasterLayer_md(filename, "var86", "lon", "lat", TempLayerFile, "", "", "BY_VALUE") 
 proj_ras = arcpy.ProjectRaster_management(outfile, "C:/Users/Desktop/weekly_avg_project/project_ras","GEOGCS['GCS_North_American_1983',DATUM['D_North_American_1983',SPHEROID['GRS_1980',6378137.0,298.257222101]],PRIMEM['Greenwich',0.0],UNIT['Degree',0.0174532925199433]]", "NEAREST", "0.125 0.125", "NAD_1983_To_WGS_1984_1", "", "GEOGCS['GCS_WGS_1984',DATUM['D_WGS_1984',SPHEROID['WGS_1984',6378137.0,298.257223563]],PRIMEM['Greenwich',0.0],UNIT['Degree',0.0174532925199433]]")
 # Process: Copy Raster 
 arcpy.CopyRaster_management(proj_ras, outRaster + ".tif", "", "", "", "NONE", "NONE", "")‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

No. I need to change the file name for the "outRaster" not the "TempLayerFile"

I need to add "_var86" to the filename which will be the output name for the raster.
