Dictionary/Array contain
- Thread starter OscariBot

You can use the syntax of:
{lv=dictionary_name[{lv=key_to_search_for}]}
It'll return the value of the value associated with the key, if the key exists in the dictionary, or "{lv=dictionary_name[keyvalue]}" as a string. You can test that value as shown here:
A nice MacroDroid enhancement would be a "if (x exists in set)" action like JavaScript's has function for sets
{lv=dictionary_name[{lv=key_to_search_for}]}

thanks for responding...
but actually that's not what i wanted... i was thinking there could b a way of searching d whole dictionary at once instead of searching one entry at a time. but after considering d behavior of a dictionary it actually seems impossible to view all entry at once... it must b key by key.

I used this method in a macro with the index to find right before the value (and using text manipulation), like this :
,[index][value],[index][value],[index][value],The goal is to find the index without iterating the array (then deleting that index).

that's why in my text manipulation to get the index I use d\+ (or d\{1,}).

pls can you show how you use it (that's why in my text manipulation to get the index I use d\+ (or d\{1,})).
because am still trying to replace your earlier idea with this. no luck.

I will send the text manipulation, or even the whole macro when I can.

Try my action block:
I also have same for arrays.
You convert to string and then check if string contains.
Or you can try this action block and check if occurence is bigger than 0:

14908 and 14966 in the template store. The reason the link is "dead" is because your browser isn't redirecting you to MacroDroid.

It probably matters with your browser's settings (something like External download manager you must allow)Much obliged @Endercraft ! I wonder why it’s not redirecting…
Not a phone, technically -- a Chromebook. I use that to create most macros for screenshots on this forum, since it has a full-size keyboard, bigger screen, mouse, etc. etc. Much faster to type, than on an actual phone.
The MacroDroid app works just fine for most actions when running within Chromebooks' Android scheme (any string or variable manipulation, HTTP requests, etc.), though not for anything related to system settings or communications -- although one can still type all that in faster than on a phone, you can only test it out on a phone.
