More Python, Search Cursor Lesson (Module 8 of 9)

This video lesson, provided by the GeoTech Center, is from the eighth module of the Python and Geospatial Mapping course, titled More Python. The course is designed for experienced users of Global Information Systems (GIS) platforms who are new to programming, with the goal of teaching them how to use Python to automate processes through the construction of short scripts in ArcGIS Pro.

This lesson covers the SearchCurser Python command from the arcpy command library included with ArcGIS Pro. The SearchCurser command can be used in an integrated development environment (IDE) to retrieve all the elements in a particular file, without ever opening ArcGIS Pro. Pro Vince DiNoto, director of the Geotech Center, walks learners through an example script using the command to pull names of cities that show up within a particular field.

The video runs 3:35 minutes in length. Additional resources from the Python and Geospatial Mapping course are available to view separately.
