I am trying to automate a naming process that takes the file name from a list of file paths to name other folders, geodatabases, zipfiles, etc.
The problem I'm running into is that, I assume, I am trying to run string functions on list object and I can't figure out how to get the script to do what I need it to do.
For example, I have the file path C:\TEMP\Durham.shp. I want to name a geodatabase, folder, and zipfile "Durham". Instead I get a folder and geodatabase named "C".
Can someone take a look at my script and tel me what I'm doing wrong?
The following script is that last incarnation of several attempts.
I have also tried
