if I have a string that looks like this:

“{test:“west”,best:“vest”,apple:“fruit”}”

is there any easy way to convert to an Associative Array?

If aaString is “{test:“west”,best:“vest”,apple:“fruit”}”

Eval("aa = " + aaString)
print aa

That’s JSON. Take a look at the JSON parser that was discussed here awhile back and added to the rokudev library that GandK put together.

Ah, ok, thanks. I think I might be able to force xml with a header. fingers crossed.

well, the forced headers didn’t work, but its simpleJSONParser to the rescue!
