Using Python in GIS: Parsing a Line of Text
This video explains some information not explained in the previous video, in that we discuss how Python can be used to parse a line of text in order to assign information to other parts of the scripting process.
Remember, we want the computer to perform the mundane tasks and leave time of us "scientists" to do what we do best!

Code used in this video:
import os
images = os.listdir('D:\gisdata\landsat\MtStHelens\Sept302019')
print(images)
imBase = images[1]
acYear = imBase[17:21]
acMonth = imBase[21:23]
acDay = imBase[23:25]
Path = imBase[11:13]
Row = imBase[14:16]
if imBase[43] == ".":
Band = imBase[42]
print("Single Digit Band")
else:
Band = imBase[42:43]
print("Double Digit Band")
print(imBase[0:42] + " Acquired on: " + acMonth + "/" + acDay + "/" + acYear + " Path: " + Path + " Row: " + Row + " This is Band No. " + Band)
