Hi All
Again I am struck with an Issue if the plist file has multiple dictionary in
it then I am not able to get the value of particular key element for
example, In the below plist file I wanted to get the value of stepID &
COMPONENTNAME
key.
I was trying like this
for key in plist:
if 'results' in key:
stepIDValue = key['results']['Steps']['stepID']
I am getting error "string indices must be integers, not str". Please help
me out
