@ HH OK, understood
OK Progress.
@Richard: OK got it.. Yes, I was reinserting an array where I should have just
been putting a string into the tStack and tCard
@Phil: Right… removing quotes was necessary.
This works:
put "SivaSiva" into tStack # this is a key just insert the string - not the
array
put "0" into tGroupCounter
repeat for each line x in tData
put item 1 of x into tCard # this is a key just insert the string - not
the array
if tCard <> tPreviousCard then put 0 into tGroupCounter
put item 2 of x into tGroupType
if tGroup = "link" then
add 1 to tGroupCounter
put (tGroupType & tGroupCounter) into tGroupType
end if
put tGroupType into aPortalLinks[tStack][tCard][tGroup]
put item 3 of x into aPortalLinks[tStack][tCard][tGroupType][tLabel]
put item 4 of x into aPortalLinks[tStack][tCard][tGroupType][tImgPath]
put item 5 of x into aPortalLinks[tStack][tCard][tGroupType][tMessage]
put item 6 of x into aPortalLinks[tStack][tCard][tGroupType][tTarget]
put item 7 of x into aPortalLinks[tStack][tCard][tGroupType][tOrientation]
put tCard into tPreviousCard
end repeat
put JsonExport(aPortalLinks)
Yes! Now we get:

This is close to what we need.
I just wish there were ways to maintain input order —> output order, without
having to resort to “hacky" sort keys functions and iterating again through
all the data, or being forced to add a sort key to the input data...just to get
back to order of that the data was in on input. That order may not be
alphanumeric… but a custom order.
Example: fruits from sweetest to less sweet:
Input order:
Dates
Figs
Pineapple
Oranges
Papaya
Apples
So how to maintain that same input order —> output into the resulting JSON?
tricky. Will start playing with that, but if you have ideas let me know.
And I still have that niggling CR to pass in (from tab delimited raw text) and
out (to Json) correctly “\n” —> “\\n”
Thanks for helping… I’m almost flying now…
