Keep the array index of matching string

[ofira85]

Hi All,

I would like to go over array I have already and look for all the cases in that array that have a match to a certain string ("name") and just keep all the index of of this match.

How can I do it with the actions i have in macrodroid ?

Thx, Ofir.

This should work.

Actually it won't work because you have to use != and not = in the constraint and also there's a known bug with deleting keys while iterating.

Hi,

Thank you for yor support.
In fact, when i try to set it exactly as did you show, the OK button is disable, why?

Attached photos FYR...

Only use [[iterator_array_index]] in the field, the other text describes the other steps.
As I said it won't work but I already have a solution in mind..

 

[Endercraft]

Here's the working action block (don't forget to use the attached file).

Thank you but it's still does not works or i miss something...

Import the macro file.
In the action block configuration screen you can choose an array to delete keys, an output array and a string to keep.

I know, just release the body out....
I just don't sure how to input the array i had out of the block, i tried but without success...

Attached the file i try to works on....
By the way, the index could be change while the time and thats why i need to know the index

When using Clear array don't use Iterate loop because when an array element is cleared, indexes are not reordered. You must use a "classical" loop in the reverse order (from the highest index to 0) and Clear every current matching/non matching element.

 

[ofira85]

I really thought it was supposed to be a simple process and there is a solution. Is there a lifeguard in the area ?

 

[Endercraft]

I don't fully understand what @Dm114 meant with the reverse loop but I understand that using normal loops won't cause any problems.

It seems you want something different from what I posted so can you describe exactly ?

 

[ofira85]

I hope you can see my attachment (the array i try to work on)
Finally, i just want to release all the value/indexes which contein the string "name".
I want to store them in a new array and continue work on them.
Of course this array can be change and also the indexes vs the values.
And that's why I'm looking for a certain string in the array....

Any case you can't see my attachment
This is my array i try to work no:

[0]: {"20:00 - 05:00":[{"start":"2023-07-25T20:00:00"
[1]: "end":"2023-07-26T05:00:00"
[2]: "category":null
[3]: "position":"operator"
[4]: "description":""
[5]: "standbyType":0
[6]: "name":"Dean Shugert"
[7]: "image":"https://app.timetable.co.il:465/UsersProfilePic/UserPic_257399638216709978144825.png"}]
[8]: "22:00 - 07:00":[{"start":"2023-07-25T22:00:00"
[9]: "end":"2023-07-26T07:00:00"
[10]: "category":null
[11]: "position":"operator"
[12]: "description":""
[13]: "standbyType":0
[14]: "name":"Shay miser"
[15]: "image":null}]
[16]: "23:00 - 08:30":[{"start":"2023-07-25T23:00:00"
[17]: "end":"2023-07-26T08:30:00"
[18]: "category":null
[19]: "position":"operator"
[20]: "description":""
[21]: "standbyType":0
[22]: "name":"Shahar hurnet"
[23]: "image":null}]}

 

[Endercraft]

Do you work on the array as a string or as an array ?

As an array.....

When iterating an array from index #0 to the last index # (dedicated Iteration loop or classical loop), Clear array action removes the the current array index but then skips next array index in the list (unless this bug has been fixed: I didn't check it recently).

This is a dictionary. I'm not sure where you got the [0], [1], [2] and the others but you don't need them.

It hasn't been fixed, that's why I saved the delete indexes into another array then deleted the indexes from the first array by iterating that second array.

Can you give me example or show me how to do it on the specific my array ?
