Objects and Arrays

[Claus Mygind]

This is driving me buggy. but I cannot get a returned string from an ajax call to associative array (hash table)

The returned string from the ajax call has two sets of data wish I split into an array with one data set in each row of the "aCombined" array.

From there I split each of the data sets into separate arrays. In this case the "aPhaseCodes" array holds the data I which to manipulate (see below)

I wish to build an array of objects from which I can dynamically create a listbox populated with the data returned in the aPhaseCodes array.



Sample data:

aCombined

0

"72755;Contract Drilling Services;1110"

1

"1099_92;1110_10;1199_30;5080_80"

aPhaseCodes

0

"1099_92"

1

"1110_10"

2

"1199_30"

3

"5080_80"

----------------------------------
Desired Output

oPhaseCoder

Object 1099=Object 1110=Object 1199=Object 5080=Object

1099

Object

0

Object text=92

text

"92"

value

"92"

1110

Object

0

Object text=10

text

"10"

value

"10"

 var aTemplates = new Object();        var dDept = new Array();
        dDept[dDept.length] = string2Array(aPhaseCodes[0].substring(0,4));
 
        for (var i = 0; i < aPhaseCodes.length; i++ )
        {
 
            var pCode = aPhaseCodes[i].substring(5,7);
 
            if (dDept == aPhaseCodes[i].substring(0,4))
            {
                dDept[dDept.length] = {value:pCode, text:pCode};
            }else{
                aTemplates[dDept] = dDept;
                dDept.length = 0;
                dDept = string2Array( aPhaseCodes[i].substring(0,4) );
                dDept[dDept.length] = {value:pCode, text:pCode};
            }
        }
function xPC(value, text)
{
    this.value = value
    this.text = text
}
function string2Array(string) {
    eval("var result = " + string);
    return result;
}
