Copy Rows (Data Management)

ArcGIS Pro 3.3 | | Help archive

Summary

Copies the rows of a table to a different table.

Usage

  • The tool copies the rows of a table, table view, feature class, feature layer, delimited file, or raster with an attribute table to a new geodatabase or dBASE table or a delimited file.

  • This tool supports the following table formats as input:

    • Geodatabase
    • dBASE (.dbf)
    • Microsoft Excel worksheets (.xls and .xlsx)
    • Memory-based tables
    • Delimited files
      • Comma-delimited files (.csv, .txt, and .asc)
      • Tab-delimited files (.tsv and .tab)
      • Pipe-delimited files (.psv)

    For delimited files, the first row of the input file is used as the field names on the output table. Field names cannot contain spaces or special characters (such as $ or *), and an error will occur if the first row of the input file contains spaces or special characters.

  • The tool can be used to output a delimited file by adding one of the following file extensions to the output name in a folder workspace:

    • Comma-delimited files (.csv, .txt, or .asc)
    • Tab-delimited files (.tsv or .tab)
    • Pipe-delimited files (.psv)

  • If the input is a table view or feature layer and has a selection, only the selected rows will be copied to the output table.

  • All rows will be copied if the input is a feature class or table. If the input rows are from a layer or table view that has a selection, only the selected features or rows will be used.

  • If the input rows are a feature class, only the attributes, not the geometry, will be copied to the output table.

  • To add or append the copied rows to an existing table, use the Append tool.
