Just duped with the trend analysis, and the horizontal perspective wheel, on only 500 points. And again, so thats three again, once with multiple windows and 2 crashes with just the trend window. ... View more

I have uploaded to ftp://ftp.esri.com/pub/incoming/2Eric_GeoStatsGuru/ I have included a 500, 1000, and my large point 422,000 files (fcs).  Fields looking at for 500 and 1000, are total, which is total assessed value, basically STR and LND combined.  We are hoping to use Geostats for Sales, or price per ft 2, along with Foreclosure and other possibilities like reduced monetary inflow from Prop 8 filing and Appeals to those Prop 8s.  Currently, not really doing any analysis, just kicking the tires, trying to get my head around everything again.  Its been a couple of years. Let me know if there are any issues with the zip file. ... View more

Duped again, will send you the data.  Sorry for being such a huge flake ... View more

I am back, now trying to rework my steps to see if I can repro anything.  Had a blue screen from spatial stats on production machine, so I was a bit tied up. ... View more

ok, I will try and get a dataset out this week, hopefully by tomorrow. ... View more

Ohhhh, you're not actually doing the .write() call, you're just reading. You may want to read from the file and output to a new one to be safe. I actually have tried both: txtFile.write (change) #txtFile.writelines(change) inside the with statement The file is not getting updated. So basically, I am doing: with open (r"C:\1GIS\Sales\ReplaceString\Sales2011.txt", "r+b") as txtFile:     data = txtFile.readline()     print "*" * 530     print data     change = data.replace("/ ", "_").replace("/", "_").replace(" ", "_")     print change     txtFile.write (change)     #txtFile.writelines(change) ...

We have Win 7 and XP machines.  I tested both and didn't get the crash. Thank you Eric.  I am currently trying to automate a process for Sales Extraction, and once that has been completed, I will take a look again but with different data, if there are any crashes with this other data, I will attach or email directly.  Not getting a crash on your end is a good thing, IMO, but will retest soon, anyway.  this other layer I will be extracting out points and polys so I can go through your tutorial. ...

r+ is for appending, how does rb work? i tried rb, nothing happens. I tried r+b, same. I tried w, which does work, but not what I need. If r+ is for appending then python needs to update there doc. I also tried a. http://docs.python.org/tutorial/inputoutput.html 7.2. Reading and Writing Files open() returns a file object, and is most commonly used with two arguments: open(filename, mode). >>> f = open('/tmp/workfile', 'w') >>> print f <open file '/tmp/workfile', mode 'w' at 80a0960> The first argument is a string containing the filename. The second argument is another string containing a few characters describing the way in which the file will be used. mode can be 'r' when the file will only be read, 'w' for only writing (an existing file with the same name will be erased), and 'a' opens the file for appending; any data written to the file is automatically added to the end. 'r+' opens the file for both reading and writing. The mode argument is optional; 'r' will be assumed if itâ??s omitted. On Windows, 'b' appended to the mode opens the file in binary mode, so there are also modes like 'rb', 'wb', and 'r+b'. Python on Windows makes a distinction between text and binary files; the end-of-line characters in text files are automatically altered slightly when data is read or written. This behind-the-scenes modification to file data is fine for ASCII text files, but itâ??ll corrupt binary data like that in JPEG or EXE files. Be very careful to use binary mode when reading and writing such files. On Unix, it doesnâ??t hurt to append a 'b' to the mode, so you can use it platform-independently for all binary files. ...

I did do a reinstall and Maplex's behavior didn't change for me, so will submit a bug write up. Not sure I mentioned before, but I was using ArcEditor Single User. Perhaps as you have said, its related to setting an evaluation license.  Thats 2 people who have had issues, but I have not experienced any issue with activation for Maplex ... View more

So, not to pick a brain or two, but are there any issues with 2.7 with reading/write a txt file and making a change and thinking it would change.  i am trying with "r+", within an open ("....txt", "r+), and the txt file does not seem to be saving.  My replace i think is sound, it prints on screen what I would expect, but nothing changes in the txt file?  hoping for 2 for 2 😉 with open (r"C:\1GIS\Sales\ReplaceString\Sales2011.txt", "r+") as txtFile:     data = txtFile.readline()     print "*" * 530     print data     change = data.replace("/ ", "_").replace("/", "_").replace(" ", "_")     print change playing with with statements, but I have the same code w/o with ...

Yes. Just to confirm myself, I created a little text file that contained this: a,b,c,d 1,2,3,S 4,5,6,T I used that as input to TableToTable and it spit out a table of 2 rows with 5 fields (OBJECTID, a, b, c, d) -Dave I am actually playing with that now, which is pretty cool, I would just need to write a read to check the first line for bad field names, and then do  str.replace, like ("/", "_") or (" ", "_").  Cool, this is MUCH easier than what I was planning on doing.  Thank you David, for helping me with the MUCH easier route. WOW.  Is this new, or was this always here? Damn, cool, way to go... ... View more

Hi Ted Could depend on how your .txt files are structured, but a .txt can be read by most tools that accept a table or table view as input.  So you could feed it directly into tools like Make XY Event Layer or XY To Line.  Or you could read in the file in Python and write out in your own flavor with a cursor. -Dave That was fast, so txt file can be read as a table, thats interesting, something to explore for sure.  thanks David.  I like the last idea at least for testing purposes at 10.1.  So, regarding the structure, do the tools, handle comma delimited, and treat the top row as the column headings? ...
