I have a shapefile which has a hyperlink field populated with .jpg files. What I would like to do is have a python script check the hyperlink field against the folder full of .jpg files to make sure that everything will be linking correctly. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hey R.D. Thanks a bunch for the tip. I had used this method earlier but I kept getting error. I had narrowed it down to the !=. The selectbyattributes where clause does not like that operator for NOT EQUALS, which is weird, because I have used it in other SQL queries in python.

After your post, I finally clued in to use <> and that works perfectly. Sometimes it's nice to just have someone jog your memory!


Strange that <> works and != does not work!
I read in some Esri doc a while back that != has replaced <>
I guess not everywhere???
