I am pretty new to ArcPy so bear with me. I am having a hard time understanding how to feed a list of FCs from a "GetParameterAsText" into something like the merge tool. I have my GetParamterAsText window set to Feature Class and multivalue so I can drag a group of layers into it in the tool dialogue.
inputLayer = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)
When I run the merge command, it looks like it is messing up the expected syntax by putting ";" as a separator instead of ",".
Doing this:arcpy.Merge_management(inputLayer, outputName, "")
Throws me this error:"C:\Development\Merge_Dissolve\GA0combined.shp;C:\Development\Merge_Dissolve\GA25combined.shp" does not exist
I have tried to create a function to replace ";" with ",", but it doesn't seem to work on my inputLayer variable, but I'm guessing there's a more standardized way to working with a list of FCs with tools that accept multiple inputs such as Merge.
Thank you for any guidance!
