Joining values of two fields

[TerryGustafson]

Thanks that worked great..  I know I should post this in a new thread but was hoping for a quick answer.  I'm trying to join 2 fields.  the corridor field and the RM field.  I was thinking it would look something like this but cant seem to figure it out.  .join(!Corridor! + !RM!)

You can perform this in the field calculator.  Make sure you have 'Python' at the top of the field calculator checked and then the syntax would be:

!Corridor! + !RM!

I tried that and it won’t work.. Not sure if it has something to do with it being a text field..

[JakeSkinner]

If you are calculating into a TEXT field, and on of the fields is an integer, try the following:

str(!Corridor!) + str(!RM!)

If not, let me know what type of fields Corridor, RM, and the field you are calculating to are.

Or try this tip

That worked but it adds a .0 to the end of the RM..  I created the RM field as a short with 0 decimal places.  So it returned C000001E156.0.  The precision is set to 4

I got it..  Thanks for your help./.  Have a good weekend..

I'm trying to join 2 fields.  the corridor field and the RM field. Calculate Field (PYTHON) str(!CORRIDOR!) + str(!RM!) worked but it adds a .0 to the end of the RM..  I created the RM field as a short with 0 decimal places.  So it returned C000001E156.0.  The precision is set to 4

Try this Calculate Field syntax

arcpy.CalculateField_management(tbl, field, 
    "{}{:.0f}".format(!CORRIDOR!, !RM!), "", "PYTHON_9.3")
