I am trying to build a model that iterates through feature classes in a .gdb
and uses the name of feature class
(they are named by state abbreviations) to make a new layer from a second feature class
based on that name.
The second feature class, osm_bing_diff_uniqueid
has a field called st_abbr
that identifies a feature by state abbreviation. What I want to do is parse the Name
output of the first feature class into the expression for the Make Feature Layer
of the second feature class. For example, if the Name = AL_Bldg_FP_Parcels
, I to make a feature class of all the features in osm_bing_diff_uniqueid
where the st_abbr
field value is AL
. I am a little confused as to how to use the Name as an input and parse it into the expression.
