I am new to python and am trying to get a string field in a geodatabase table to split and create a new row. Here is the code based on the solution from Splitting strings into new rows, retaining geometry:

import arcpy

inputTable="PathtoTable/XYZ.mdb/EasementsScratchSelectedRecords"
inputTableAgain="PathtoTable/XYZ.mdb/EasementsScratchSelectedRecords"

searchC =  arcpy.da.SearchCursor(inputTable, ("OBJECTID","DocumentNameorNumber","SecondaryIdentifier")) 

insertC = arcpy.da.InsertCursor(inputTableAgain, ("OBJECTID","DocumentNameorNumber","SecondaryIdentifier")) 

for row in searchC:
    A = [x.split('Point') for x in row[:-1] ]

    for i in range(min(len(A[0]),len(A[1]),len(A[2]))):
        newRow = [A[0][i] , A[1][i], A[2][i], row[3]]
        insertC.insertRow(newRow)
del insertC

I keep getting the following error:

line 17, in A = [str(x.split('Point')) for x in row[:-1] ] AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'split'

  • num1, operator, num2 = input('Enter the calculator operations : ').split() Can some tell me what's wrong with this code. I get the same error mentioned above Commented Jun 7, 2017 at 14:57

Additionally, it looks like your question is really only about Python and not about GIS, so it would belong on Stack Overflow. The answer to this question there is probably along the lines of what you are looking for. Commented Jun 7, 2017 at 15:07

In your code try replacing this:

for row in searchC:
    A = [x.split('Point') for x in row[:-1] ]

with this:

for row in searchC:
    print row[:-1]
    A = [x.split('Point') for x in row[:-1] ]

and I think you will see that row[:-1] is returning a list of integers that you are iterating and then cannot split individually.
