Hi

I’m converting HDF files to ESRI Grids using the Find HDFs and Convert SDS To ArcGIS Rasters tool. Could anyone provide guidance on what parameters of the _expression_ below need to be changed to enable unique names for each raster output? I’m getting the error below that the same name is being used for multiple outputs and I have not figured out how to change the _expression_ to prevent this

Many thanks

Matt

Default _expression_

os.path.join(outputWorkspace, os.path.dirname(inputFile[len(directoryToSearch)+1:]), os.path.basename(inputFile).split(u'.')[0][:13])

ValueError: The same output C:\Files\GIS\Data\Biology_and_Ecology\Primary_Productivity\Rasters is specified for two different inputs: C:\Files\GIS\Data\Biology_and_Ecology\Primary_Productivity\HDF_format\vgpm.2002182.hdf.gz and C:\Files\GIS\Data\Biology_and_Ecology\Primary_Productivity\HDF_format\vgpm.2002213.hdf.gz (elements #0 and #0 of inputFileList, where 0 is the first element). This is not allowed because when the second input was processed, it would overwrite the output of the first one. This problem usually occurs when the outputs are paths or names calculated by a Python _expression_ that produces the same result for two different inputs. If you received this error message after invoking a tool or function that calculates outputs using Python expressions, you must adjust the expressions. The default expressions are usually sufficient for a variety of situations but they may not be suited to your inputs.
