I´m a beginner at python programming and wanted to start with a litte and hopefully simple project. I tried to read float values out of a textfile and write them into a shapefile.
The program is working fine until the writing in the shapefile. Following error occurs:
TypeError: value #0 - unsupported type: list
TypeError: sequence size must match size of the row
I tried different styles (last lines in the code) but i could´t work it out. So my question is: What is my error and what could i do to solve this Problem?
Example of the Textfile ("test.txt"):
2500000.00 5600000.00 10
2500001.00 5600010.00 20
Script
import fileinput
import string
import os
# Declaration
env.overwriteOutput=True
env.workspace= outpath
x = []
y = []
z = []
newfc="newfc.shp"
outpath="c:/tmp/"
# Create new Shapefile and add FIELDS
arcpy.CreateFeatureclass_management(outpath, newfc, "Point")
arcpy.AddField_management(newfc, "X", "FLOAT", field_length = 50)
arcpy.AddField_management(newfc, "Y", "FLOAT", field_length = 50)
arcpy.AddField_management(newfc, "Z", "FLOAT", field_length = 50)
# Reference Cursors
cursorX=arcpy.da.InsertCursor(newfc,"X")
cursorY=arcpy.da.InsertCursor(newfc,"Y")
cursorZ=arcpy.da.InsertCursor(newfc,"Z")
# Read File
a = open("c:/tmp/test.txt","r")
inputF = a.readlines()
for line in inputF:
xCoordinate, yCoordinate, zValue = line.split()
x.append(float(xCoordinate))
y.append(float(yCoodrinate))
z.append(float(zValue))
print([x]) # [[2500000.0, 2500001.0]]
print([y]) # [[5600000.0, 5600010.0]]
print([z]) # [[10.0, 20.0]]
# Copy Arrays into the Field
cursorX.insertRow(x) # TypeError: value #0 - unsupported type: list
cursorY.insertRow((y)) # TypeError: sequence size must match size of the row
cursorZ.insertRow(z)
I´m thankful for every hint =)
