Hi,

I get this info

info = (job.getVariableAsString('[Job.NameProper:After="(",Before=")"]'));

It looks like this 10,5,10,20,10,10,20,10

I'm looking to put that info into an array and then access parts of the array

So far any effort to put it into an array or access parts of that result in 'Undefined'.

Can anyone please let me know how to put the info into an array and then access parts of that array?

(or another way if this is the wrong way)

EDIT I forgot to mention that I'm aiming to access the part of the array with another variable. So when I want to access part x of the array, then I'll be using a variable which equates to x.

Thanks!

Hi

I guess this should do the trick

Code: Select all

infoString = job.getVariableAsString('[Job.NameProper:After="(",Before=")"]');
infoArray = infoString.split(",");

Thanks for the help!

Is it possible to echo variables from a script out to somewhere to see what a script is producing?

I think I was making the array OK, but trying to echo out an array (so undefined) and not echo out a position of the array. Silly me

You could log a variable and read it there:

Code: Select all

var myCoolVariable = [1,2,3,4,5]
job.log(1, "MyCoolVariable: " + myCoolVariable.toString() );
var myCoolIndex = 3
job.log(1, "Selected value for index " + myCoolIndex.toString() + ": " + myCoolVariable[myCoolIndex].toString() );

Which would probably log something like the following:

MyCoolVariable: 1,2,3,4,5
Selected value for index 3: 4

Wouldn't the index of 3 then be 2 and not 3 since indexing starts at 0, not 1.
