I want to figure out how to be able to change values in fields for use in further projects. Right now , I would like to be able to add '-WA' to the existing field value 53. (ie 53-WA). This is a test project as I am trying to teach myself python. The code I got so far runs but the values do not change.
import arcpy, os
arcpy.env.workspace = r'C:\Users\david.fleck\Python.mdb'
fc= 'Parking_Lots_Collected_2015'
field = ['STATEFP']
cursor = arcpy.UpdateCursor(fc,field)
with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(fc,field)as cursor:
for row in cursor:
if row== 53:
row.setValue(row.getValue(field) + '-WA')
cursor.updateRow(row)
print "Finished"
I have also tried row ==''53 + '-CA'
instead of row.setvalue but still no change.
