Is there a way to check if a feature class full path string is a path to a feature class within a file geodatabase feature dataset in arcpy?
For example:
C:\test\test.gdb\testdataset\featureclass
I'd like to return testdataset
.
I can't find it in any of the applicable Describe
objects. I can do it with string manipulation…
fullpath = r"C:\test\test.gdb\testdataset\featureclass"
pathlen = len(fullpath.split (".gdb")[0]) + 4
namelen = len(fullpath.split ("\\")[-1])
dataset = fullpath[pathlen:-namelen].replace ("\\", "")
This seems like too much code though.
Is there a better way?
