I'd like to use python to update the TOC by adding a space (white space) for layer names that are like this: "BoundaryBuffer" or "WaterEdge" and replace them with "Boundary Buffer" or "Water Edge".
I'm new to python and could use some assistance so far I've gotten to this but I can't get it to work correctly:
import arcpy
>>> import re
>>> mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT")
>>> df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd)[0]
>>> layers = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers (mxd)
>>> for lyr in layers:
... re.findall('[A-Z][a-z]*', lyr.name)
... arcpy.RefreshTOC()
I've looked at this post as well but I don't know how to integrate it with lyr.name in ArcGIS.
EDIT: I solved it myself! If anyone is interested or wants to comment:
import arcpy
... import re
... mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT")
... df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd)[0]
... layers = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers (mxd)
... for lyr in layers:
... tempName = re.sub(r'([a-z])([A-Z])', r'\1 \2', lyr.name)
... lyr.name = tempName
... arcpy.RefreshTOC()
