Hi Everyone, I am trying to convert dbf to csv using the following code:
import arcpy
import os
import csv
def DBFtoCSV(path):
'''Convert every DBF table into CSV table.
'''
arcpy.env.workspace = path
tablelist=arcpy.ListTables('*', 'dBASE')
for table in tablelist:
outputFile = '{}.csv'.format(table.split('.dbf')[0])
# Get the fields in the dbf to use for the cursor and csv header row.
fields = []
for field in arcpy.ListFields(table):
fields.append(str(field.name))
# Make the csv.
with open((os.path.join(path,outputFile)),'wb') as output:
dataWriter = csv.writer(output, delimiter=',', quotechar='"', quoting=csv.QUOTE_MINIMAL)
# Write header row.
dataWriter.writerow(fields)
# Write each row of data to the csv.
with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(table, fields) as cursor:
for row in cursor:
dataWriter.writerow(row)
print('Finished creating {}'.format(outputFile))
if __name__ == '__main__':
path=r'F:\DataLocation'
DBFtoCSV(path)I am getting an error at the SearchCursor because it says field names must be string or non empty. I added the print statement and it turns out my list of fields is empty. Can anyone tell me why this is?
