I have a file on my website that contains just this content:
var addressPoints = [
[11.42944444, 103.51333333, "img1.jpg", "300", "168", "waterfall"],
[11.32611111, 103.52111111, "img2.jpg", "300", "168", "river"],
[11.26083333, 103.51916667, "img3.jpg", "300", "168", "top view"]
];
I am reading that file, adding (or later removing) an item/image and upload/update the file via ajax.
But I wonder what would be the cleanest way to convert that into js objects!?
Do I need to go through each line and split at the comma to get item[n] or is there any other way?
EDIT:
By accident I stumpled across this code in the Ajax ReadFile Example:
function btnGetRemoteData_onclick()
'This is like GetLocalData above, except it executes a remote file.
'What is interesting is that the file does not have to be on the
'same server as the app was run from, which ReadFileRemote required.
txtWhy.value="Execute remote file 'https://www.nsbasic.com/i/ReadFile/datafile.js', which calls processData() to update the textbox below."
Textarea1.value=""
End function
that’s awesome. So I can use the array directly integreated in my code!
MsgBox addressPoints[0]
