Line Segment Joining

I've got a network of lines which I split using the chopper to assign adjacent point attributes, but now i'm left with a number of segments(those that didn't intersect with the points) that have null attributes. I've tried using the line joiner, intersector and snapper in combination, but to no avail. I'm still left with many segments most of them blank. In past i've used a series of spatial joins in arc, but i'm getting really tired of using that tedious and clunky method.

Hi,

 

 

The LineJoiner should work to connect lines which touch each other at nodes. I'm not sure why you fail with it.   In addition, I think this question is a continuation of the previous thread, and this issue seems to be a side effect of having chopped the original lines into individual line segments. If I faced the same situation, I would consider how to split the original lines at the points without chopping. I already posted a probable approach to the previous thread.

I appreciate your responses to both threads, I didn't notice the first until i had read the second. I believe the technique you suggested first should work perfectly. I apologize for the duplicate requests. Thanks.
