I've built this variable called DLP. When I'm done doing what i need to do with the page, the variable looks something like this:
[['0','A'],['1','B'],['2','C'] ]
How can I turn this variable into a multi-dimension array so that when i go:
DLP[1][1]
it returns my result?
// the data
var dlp = "[['0','A'],['1','B'],['2','C'] ]";
// make it JSON conform
// replace single quotation marks with double quotation marks
dlp = dlp.replace(/'/g, '"');
// parse the JSON string
// get an array
var dlpArray = JSON.parse(dlp);
// use the array
alert(dlpArray[1][1]);There are two ways to start an array.
var array = new Array(); or var array = [1, 2, 3]
It is considered bad practice to do it the first way. You can do what you want like this.
var DLP = [['0','A'],['1','B'],['2','C'] ]
DLP[1][1] will return your result.
[['0','A'],['1','B'],['2','C'] ] is already a multi-dimensional array.
DLP[1][1] will return 'B' as Tom said in the comments. If you want to get one of the complete arrays (example: if you wanted the array: "2,C" you would only need to reference DLP[3]). See this question for more information on how to work with multidimensional arrays: JavaScript multidimensional array
DLP[1][1]will return a result, B. What is your result that you're expecting it to return?
