I would like to update the data source of a specific layer in multiple map documents using ArcPy.
However, I'm getting a <type 'exceptions.SyntaxError'>: invalid syntax
error on if lyr.datasetName == inputlayer
in the code below.
import arcpy, string, os
import arcpy.mapping as MAP
try:
MXDList = string.split(arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0), ";") #ArcMap document(s)
inputlayer = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1) # featureclass
newwork = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2) # Workspace
for MXDPath in MXDList:
MXD = MAP.MapDocument(MXDPath)
for dataframe in arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(MXD):
lyrs = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(dataframe)
for lyr in lyrs:
if lyr.datasetName == inputlayer
lyr.replaceDataSource(newwork, "FILEGDB_WORKSPACE", "Center")
MXD.save()
What causes the SyntaxError here?
I was attempting to reference this forum thread.
