Jun 6	comment	Batch intersect from a text file using Python (ArcGIS) It was suggested to me to add a dictionary to assign values to the temp_polys. example: {'temp_poly0':'original_filename1', 'temp_poly1':'original_filename2', etc} This solution sounds intriguing but I am unsure as to how to implement it. Can anyone help?
Jun 5	comment	Batch intersect from a text file using Python (ArcGIS) Yes, I would like to keep any intermediate intersects, but I don't want the names to change. I think your solution would be suitable for my needs, i.e., perhaps a new subfolder in each applicable tree. But I'm not sure how I would write this code-wise.

May 2	comment	ArcGIS 10 Python script to search directories and subdirectories for intersects and clip them First I want to search through Subdirectories. This is what I have so far, syntax error on if statement: import os, arcpy, sys basedir = sys.argv[1] #dirnames uses a recursive function to list subdirs: def dirsearch(basedir): [dirpath,dirnames,filenames]=os.walk(basedir) if dirnames.length == 0 intersectfeatures(dirpath) else: for dir in dirnames: dirsearch(dir) # a method that does the intersecting of all fcs in a directory def intersectfeatures(dirpath): arcpy.envworkspace=dirpath fclist=arcpy.ListFeatureClasses() for fc in fclist:
May 2	comment	ArcGIS 10 Python script to search directories and subdirectories for intersects and clip them Thanks The data is in a load of directories mostly with shapefiles. This is my code so far: import os, arcpy, sys basedir = sys.argv[1] #dirnames uses a recursive function to list subdirs: def dirsearch(basedir): [dirpath,dirnames,filenames]=os.walk(basedir) if dirnames.length == 0 intersectfeatures(dirpath) else: for dir in dirnames: dirsearch(dir) # a method that does the intersecting of all fcs in a directory def intersectfeatures(dirpath): arcpy.envworkspace=dirpath fclist=arcpy.ListFeatureClasses() for fc in fclist:
