load associative array Topic is solved

[ananthuthilakan]

i have this in my script, i am trying to somehow save that array to a file and read it from there

Code: Select all

test:={"general":{ 1: "name", 2: "author", 3: "edition", 4: "publication", 5: "price"},"page":{total: 720, current:20}}
msgBox,%test ; gives blank value
msgBox,%test.general.1 ; give correct value ----> this is the required output i am looking for

i can save it but when using file read i think it gives something like this in effect

Code: Select all

test={"general":{ 1: "name", 2: "author", 3: "edition", 4: "publication", 5: "price"},"page":{total: 720, current:20}}
msgBox,%test ; gives whole string
msgBox,%test.general.1 ; gives blank value ---> and fails

any input will be much appreciated



i tried fileread.

{"general":{ 1: "name", 2: "author", 3: "edition", 4: "publication", 5: "price"},"page":{total: 720, current:20}} ; this is saved as file.txt

Code: Select all

FileRead, test, file.txt
msgBox,% test ; gives the whole thing as string
msgBox,% test.general.1  ; gives blank , i am trying to get "name"

One option is Coco's JSON class:

@teadrinker 's json parse

Code: Select all

test = {"general":{ 1: "name", 2: "author", 3: "edition", 4: "publication", 5: "price"},"page":{total: 720, current:20}}
getObj := jsonToAHK(test)
MsgBox, % getObj.general.1

thankyou for the reply, i tried it earlier but was not working , but after your reply i gave it more time, and realized i should enclose the keys ie 1, 2, 3 in my array with doubequotes , then can be made it to work with json library
thank you , much appreciated

thank you for the help , this is much simpler and i dont have to change the keys also (edit : if the key is a string i have to put it in double quotes ) , i suppose i should go with this one rather than json library, what is your thoughts on it in terms of performance

[gregster]

My guess is that teadrinker's approach is generally faster - but I didn't test it.

much appreciative to your replies , this was so helpful thank you
