Greetings:I've got a simple script with a single parameter of type string. The script does a field calculate of the entered value into a field of type string. Here's the code:import arcpy
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT")
df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd)[0]
s = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)
arcpy.AddMessage(type(s)) # displays type as 'unicode'
for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd):
if lyr.isFeatureLayer:
arcpy.CalculateField_management(lyr,"myfield",s)
del mxd
When I run the script, I have to wrap the input value in double quotes for it to work. I would have thought that wasn't needed since the parameter is of type string, and the parameter is brought in using GetParameterAsText. Is there some setting I'm missing that's causing this?Thanks,Scott
