How to get a value from another python script

[Mark Verlaat]

Hi,

i'm trying to get a value from a Python script called getValue and use this value to select the correct symbology layer for a ArcGIS map.

This is the first code:

import arcgisscripting
gp = arcgisscripting.create(9.3)
intable = gp.GetParameterAsText(0)
infield = gp.GetParametersAsText(1)
 
# open cursor
rows = gp.searchcursor(intable)
row = rows.next()
fval = row.GetValue(infield)
gp.SetParameterAsText(2, str(fval))
 

and this is the second one.

import sys, string, os, arcgisscripting
 
gp = arcgisscripting.create()
gp.AddToolbox("filepath/Data Management Tools.tbx")
gp.AddToolbox("filepath/Mark Toolbox.tbx")
 
String = ? #This has to be the value from the GetValue script
VCI_Laag = "filepath\\Symbology_Files\\"+String +".lyr"
Grondsoorten_Verzadigd = "Grondsoorten_Verzadigd"
 
gp.ApplySymbologyFromLayer_management(Grondsoorten_Verzadigd, VCI_Laag)

The Dutch words are filenames.

Could anyone help me?

You could write the information to a disk file in the first script and read the data from the disk file in the second script. I will assume you will consistently be in a certain working directory, otherwise you would need the include the path in the file name.

First script:

file_name = "data.txt"
fileObj = open(file_name, 'w')
fileObj.write(str(favl))
fileObj.close()

Second script:

fval = open(file_name).read()
