Get Array Count with arrays within arrays
-
Get Array Count gives a blank value when it tries to get the count of an array that has arrays in it. Take this array for example and try to get the count of it:
["["array11","array12"]","["array21","array22"]"]
The result is nothing, but it should be 2. -
@Aidan-Oxley you need to escape the quotation marks so hyperPad knows that they are not part of the main array. It should be
["[\"Array11\",\"Array12\"]","[\"Array21\",\"Array22\"]"] -
Oh, if I read through the other forum posts about arrays more carefully I would've read about the slashes.
-
I actually didn't know about the backwards slashes :thinking: it makes sense though because backslashes are known as escape strings.
-
Wow, you don't need to escape them I think. I just used hyperPad to create the arrays rather than trying to type the array out, and it gave me this:
[["array11","array12"],["array21","array22"]]
Get Array Count gives 2 -
@Aidan-Oxley interesting, I think it doesn't need to escape them there because it's not putting quotation marks around the inner arrays. I guess that makes sense, but escaping them should work too I think.
