Hello all,

New guy here.

I'm trying to get the output from websocket.messagetext into an array.

I've tried a few different JSON plugins but cant quite get the right workflow.

Any ideas are much appreciated.

Thanks

JG

Right now I have this coming in from the Websocket connection using the rex_hash plugin. I just want to import the values into an array

You can't use standard "Array load from JSON" action here, because arrays and dictionaries in Construct require custom JSON format (header).

That "JSON" object with a yellow icon on your screenshot - is it rex_hash object? In this case I believe you need to remove "Array load from JSON", and instead add a sub-event like this:

JSON for each key -> Array push JSON.CurValue(JSON.CurKey)

I never used this plugin, so I may be wrong.

There is a sample capx on the plugin page, have you tried it?
