Hello!

Im having some troubles with an array I built from a JSON file

The JSON file is something like this:

{
"c2array":true,
"size":[2,2,1],
"data":[
  [["Word1"],[
    ["a1"],["a2"],["b1"],["b2"],["c1"],["c2"],["c3"]]],

  [["Word2"],[
    ["a1"],["a2"],["b1"],["b2"],["c1"],["c2"],["c3"],["d1"],["d2"],["d3"]]]  
]
}
[/code:1w6w4gq7]

So I got "Word1" with an array of values "a1","a2" etc...

I turned this JSON file into an array but when I want to show the different values I dont know how to do it.
If I use Array.at(0) I will get "Word1" value but I need the other values too. If I use Array.At(0,1) I get a 0...

How can I access to the different values in this array inside an array? Thank you very much

How did you get the file? The JSON and the capx would help.

Sure, it is from a big capx, but I created a new one with only the array issue, I will show

The json file is built from an ASP.NET/C# application and I need to use this in the C2 project

Thanks

It's not a valid JSON file. It has array size of 2x2 but has more data.

This will work but probably isn't what you need.

{

"c2array":true,

"size":[2,2,1],

"data":[ [["Palabra"],["a1"]],
[
["Palabra2"],["a2"]]]
}

Edit: what is the structure you want? What are you trying to do?

Hello, sorry for replying late.

I need for every word in the array, associates it to a few values, ie:

"Word 1" => "a1", "a2", "a3", "a4" 4 values
"Word 2" => "b6", "b7", "b8" 3 values
"Word 3" => "c4", "c5", "d4", "d5", "e4", "e5" 6 values

** Notice different number of values for each word

...

I will have a checkerboard like this

     a   b   c   d   e   f   g   h   i   j   k   l   m
   -----------------------------------------------------
1  |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
   -----------------------------------------------------
2  |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
   -----------------------------------------------------
3  |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
   -----------------------------------------------------
4  |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
   -----------------------------------------------------
5  |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
   -----------------------------------------------------
6  |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
   -----------------------------------------------------
7  |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
   -----------------------------------------------------
8  |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
   -----------------------------------------------------
9  |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
   -----------------------------------------------------[/code:14egvffj]
 
| WORD 1| | WORD 2 | | WORD 3 |    |VALIDATE|

What I need to do is when I click a cell and a word, the game says me if the word is in the selected cells or not; for example if I click WORD 1 and I click "a1" cell, it will say is right; if I click WORD 1 and h5 it will say me it is wrong because WORD 1 got only "a1", "a2", "a3", "a4" values

The words and their values will be defined in an external application and stored in a database or a JSON file

Thank you!

Save it

0 => "Word 1" , "value1", "value2", "value3", "value4", "value5", "value6" 6 values

1 => "Word 2" , "value1", "value2", "value3", "value4", "empty", "empty" 4 values

etc

and write a function to fetch

word and then its values.

So many ways of doing this. You could have a 1D array for the "word1", "word2" etc and a 2D array for the "a1", "a2" and "b1", "b2" etc. Then use the X index from the first array as the Y index into the second array.

DUTOIT's way is the other I was thinking of as well. Choose whichever you think is simpler for you.
