Codebeispiel

SearchCursor example

List field contents for Counties.shp. Cursor sorted by State Name and Population.

import arcpy

# Open a searchcursor 
#  Input: C:/Data/Counties.shp 
#  FieldList: NAME; STATE_NAME; POP2000 
#  SortFields: STATE_NAME A; POP2000 D 
# 
rows = arcpy.SearchCursor("C:/Data/Counties.shp", "", "", "NAME; STATE_NAME; POP2000", 
                          "STATE_NAME A; POP2000 D") 
currentState = "" 

# Iterate through the rows in the cursor 
# 
for row in rows: 
    if currentState != row.STATE_NAME: 
        currentState = row.STATE_NAME 

    # Print out the state name, county, and population 
    # 
    print "State: %s, County: %s, population: %i" % \
            (row.STATE_NAME, row.NAME, row.POP2000)
