SharePoint URL retrieval for SPListItem

listsharepoint

When I try to retrieve a column which is a hyperlink I get two items that are comma delimited instead of one.

When I pull item["ColumnName"] I get its value:

http://www.google.com/article/583,%20title%20gets%20stars

Why is it showing the link, and title?

You can extract the actual Url and the Description from the column value this way:

SPFieldUrlValue fieldValue = new SPFieldUrlValue(myItem["URL"].ToString());

string linkTitle = fieldValue.Description;

string linkUrl = fieldValue.Url;

Python – Accessing the index in ‘for’ loops

Using an additional state variable, such as an index variable (which you would normally use in languages such as C or PHP), is considered non-pythonic.

The better option is to use the built-in function enumerate(), available in both Python 2 and 3:

for idx, val in enumerate(ints):
    print(idx, val)

R – SharePoint List Item Not Returning Fields

The internal name of a field may not match the display name; especially if you've changed the name after creating the list. Try debugging and taking a look at the names of the fields in the SPListItemCollection and see if you can figure out which one it is there.
