I need to update a column of values such that empty fields are changed to the string "OFF_ROAD." I've looked up a plethora of examples, and this is what I'm trying to get to work, but when I run it, nothing happens to the input file-
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
env.overwriteOutput = True
arcpy.env.workspace = "F:/EMILY/TEST/GET_TYPE_TEST/"
infc = "SpJoinscript.shp"
cur = arcpy.UpdateCursor(infc)
for row in cur:
if row.TYPE_1 == "":
row.TYPE_1 = "OFF_ROAD"
cur.updateRow(row)
del row
del cur
print "done mothaf"
what am I overlooking here???!!!
