I am trying to create a script that applies a layer style from .lyr file to layers in my table of contents that meet a certain criteria. The criteria being the layer name must contain string of "x".

Edit - This script now works for copying .lyr styles to layers that meet a certain if condition.

mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT")
var1 = #Path to .lyr file
var2 = #Path to .lyr file

for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd):
 if "TEXT" in lyr.name:
 arcpy.ApplySymbologyFromLayer_management(lyr, var1)
 print lyr.name + " identified as TEXT"
 elif "TEXT2" in lyr.name:
 arcpy.ApplySymbologyFromLayer_management(lyr, var2)
 print lyr.name + " identified as TEXT2"
 else: 
 print lyr.name + " did not meet the criteria."

  Please roll back a bit further in your code and include the part where layer is defined, and include the diagnostic output of your script.

  I incorrectly assumed layer would target the layers that meet the if condition. I'm trying to have my arcpy script look for "string" in variable then assign a lyr style to the layers that meet the in condition.

  Did you get an error from Python, or was it masked inside a try block?

  I think the first line in your for block should be to print lyr.dataSource, and the output from that should be part of what you report here.
