arcgis-10.2attribute-tableexportfeature-classfile-geodatabase
What would be the most efficient way to export attribute tables from multiple feature class files stored in a file geodatabase? Export to .txt or .csv. Is there any sort of batch process? Or python script?
I have hundreds of files within this geodatabase and really need to automate this process.
I would try using the batch grid control.
Instead of double-clicking or using right-click to Open a tool, use right-click Batch.
If your 160 feature classes are all in the same workspace you should be able to multiple-select them in the Catalog window and drag them into the first column.
I tested it below and it seemed to run OK.
You make no mention that you have any problems reading your text file, so I am assuming that it is just how to get the coordinates into a feature class that has you stumped.
There are a number of ways to do this so some suggestions to start looking at are:
Both have code examples that I think should get you past where you are stuck. I recommend getting the code samples to work first and then try to apply to your situation second.

With Python, you can use arcpy.ListDatasets to create an object to loop through all the features in your file geodatabase, setting the workspace to the geodatabase first. Then, for each feature use arcpy.MakeTableView_management to create a table view that can then be used by arcpy.TableToExcel_conversion to export the tables to Excel. All of these documentation pages should provide you with enough code snippets to get you there.
