json.decode - Need to escape characters but can't get it working.

[Desmo 5]

So I'm trying to pull a pice of information from a json reply but I need to either use [0] or .. in the string, both of which will not work. I've tried escaping them with a "\" but they still fail.

 

The line can either be response[0].id or response..id

 

This is the entire string...

Can you post the json string?

Just edited post to include the entire string

 

It's the first "id" in the string I need.

OK, that works in the sample but how do I get the double [[ & ]] to each side of my response?

 

Here is my code (with some details extracted)

It's the "response.data" I need to collect and add the double square brackets to. I had a quick go but nothing was working.

 

Thanks again.

The [[..]] is just a multi-line string quote.

We could do just

This (the 'str') is what you get in your response handler

This is so strange....I'm absolutely sure that's what I had before but obviously not. I was on the right track but obviously had the syntax slightly wrong somewhere so thanks for tidying that up. Just one remaining problem now...the result is a little odd.

 

The json result shows this...

34646001298457174

 

But it's turned in to this when I pull it out from the result...

 3.4646001298457e+16

Its the same value, just different printed representations.

If you print it with

I still couldn't get the "id" working but found that "id_s" has the same value and works fine so I'm all set up.

Thanks for your help with this @jgab
