For loop does not play well with wget

Issues
1

An extensive report of the problem can be found here, but the general idea is that fl (for loop) does not play nicely with wg (wget). I tried to iterate through an array inside of a json file, but there were two problems:

  1. wget cannot parse variable "i" inside of square brackets ("[ ]")
  2. if we make the array call static (jsonArray[0]) within the for loop and iterate n amount of times (1 through n), it will display jsonArray[0] more than n times
2

Did you try this:

$fl(1, 5, "i + 1", "if(wg(gv(URL), json, .stats.activePlayers[" + i + "].personId) = gv(Pts1), it works!, not working)")$

The "i" var statement must be OUT of the quotes, everything else inside the quotes

I tried two things,

1. $fl(1, 5, "i + 1", "(wg(gv(URL), json, .stats.activePlayers[" + 0 + "].personId)")$

This returned the correct result, printing the value at .stats.activePlayers[0].personId 5 times

2. $fl(1, 5, "i + 1", "(wg(gv(URL), json, .stats.activePlayers[" + i + "].personId)")$

Now, when I replaced index 0 with variable i, the kode outputs an empty string and gives no error message

This should work, will try to reproduce

Any update on this issue? I've been aiming for a while to do it and not able to do it. The issue does seem to be that i is not being replaced in the WGET function

Found a fix for this issue after months of on off trying

You need to nest the i like so:

"wg(gv(Examp), json, .[" + " + i + " + "].example)"

Thanks. This solution rescued me from a large nested if statement!

[EDIT]Nevermind Ben krajancic's solution worked, you just have to be very careful with the quotes and "+"

Same problem here,

This kode works :

$fl(0,4,"i+1",wg(gv(betaPlan),json,".episodes["+0+"].show.title"))$

But if I replace 0 by i it breaks. I tried several alternatives with or without quotes but no luck for now...

No error with this kode:

$fl(0,4,"i+1","wg(gv(betaPlan),json,.episodes["+i+"].show.title)")$

but nothing is displayed.
