| Label | Explanation | Data Type | 
| Input raster | The input raster to be reclassified. | Raster Layer | 
| Input ASCII remap file | ASCII remap file defining the single values or ranges to be reclassified and the values they will become. Allowed extensions for the ASCII remap files are .rmp, .txt, and .asc. | File | 
| Output raster | The output reclassified raster. The output will always be of integer type. | Raster Dataset | 
| Change missing values to NoData (Optional) | Denotes whether missing values in the reclass file retain their value or get mapped to NoData. 
 | Boolean | 
Summary
Reclassifies (or changes) the values of the input cells of a raster using an ASCII remap file.
Usage
- The input raster must have valid statistics. If the statistics do not exist, you can create them using the Calculate Statistics tool in the Data Management toolbox. 
- The output raster will always be of integer type. If the output assignment values in the ASCII file are floating-point values, an error message will be returned and the program will halt. 
Parameters
arcpy.ddd.ReclassByASCIIFile(in_raster, in_remap_file, out_raster, {missing_values})| Name | Explanation | Data Type | 
| in_raster | The input raster to be reclassified. | Raster Layer | 
| in_remap_file | ASCII remap file defining the single values or ranges to be reclassified and the values they will become. Allowed extensions for the ASCII remap files are .rmp, .txt, and .asc. | File | 
| out_raster | The output reclassified raster. The output will always be of integer type. | Raster Dataset | 
| missing_values (Optional) | Denotes whether missing values in the reclass file retain their value or get mapped to NoData. 
 | Boolean | 
Code sample
This example uses an ASCII remap file to reclassify the input raster.
import arcpy
arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/data"
arcpy.ddd.ReclassByASCIIFile("slope","remapslope.rmp","C:/output/recslope")This example uses an ASCII remap file to reclassify the input raster.
# Name: ReclassByASCIIFile_Ex_02.py
# Description: Reclassifies  values of the input raster using an ASCII remap 
#    file.
# Requirements: 3D Analyst Extension
# Import system modules
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
# Set environment settings
env.workspace = "C:/data"
# Set local variables
inRaster = "slope"
inRemapFile = "remapslope.rmp"
outRaster = "C:/output/recslope"
