My program runs fine, but I keep thinking there must be a way to simplify this code. I have a intersections.shp with all the street names that intersect in one field 'NAMES'. This separates them into individual fields, i.e. STREET1, STREET2, etc...
Is there a better way to write this or should I just rejoice in that it runs?
Thanks,
Bryce

Code:
AddField_management(spatial_join, 'STREET1', 'TEXT')
AddField_management(spatial_join, 'STREET2', 'TEXT')
AddField_management(spatial_join, 'STREET3', 'TEXT')
AddField_management(spatial_join, 'STREET4', 'TEXT')
AddField_management(spatial_join, 'STREET5', 'TEXT')#if more than 5 streets intersect, need to add more fields
urows = UpdateCursor(spatial_join)
for urow in urows:
array = urow.NAMES.split('&')
urow.STREET1 = array[0]
urow.STREET2 = array[1]
urow.STREET3 = ''
urow.STREET4 = ''
urow.STREET5 = ''
if len(array) == 5:
urow.STREET3 = array[2]
urow.STREET4 = array[3]
urow.STREET5 = array[4]
elif len(array) == 4:
urow.STREET3 = array[2]
urow.STREET4 = array[3]
elif len(array) == 3:
urow.STREET3 == array[2]
urows.updateRow(urow)
del urows, urowBryce
