✅ problem

I call a function that returns something like this

c#
"["value 2","value 1"]"

c#
"["value 2","value 1"]"

How can I turn this into a Array ?

so how do u print this string? so give us some basic information (the code u showed earlier as well)

this is a http request to lua function C#

c#
mta = new MTA("5.42.223.36", 22005, "user", "pass");
MTA_LuaArgs args = new MTA_LuaArgs();
var item = mta.CallFunction("discord_bot", "getInfo", args);
await command.RespondAsync(item);

c#
mta = new MTA("5.42.223.36", 22005, "user", "pass");
MTA_LuaArgs args = new MTA_LuaArgs();
var item = mta.CallFunction("discord_bot", "getInfo", args);
await command.RespondAsync(item);

Lua

local originalGetPlayerCount = getPlayerCount 
function getInfo()
    return getServerName() , "Player Count : "..tonumber(originalGetPlayerCount())  
end

local originalGetPlayerCount = getPlayerCount 
function getInfo()
    return getServerName() , "Player Count : "..tonumber(originalGetPlayerCount())  
end

I would start by questioning why a method returns this string in the first place and not an array

cap5lut•9mo ago

because, i might not be able to help ya, so if anyone else sees this thread they might be able to help if they see the whole thing

What do you mean "http request to a LUA function"? I see no HTTP requests here

cap5lut•9mo ago

we were in #chat first

Ah, I lack context then, carry on

cap5lut•9mo ago

now all context is given this string, how u do u print it? thats not given from the shown code or do u see it via debugger?

I actually see ["Value 1","Value 2"] I just wanted to say that this is the type of string

cap5lut•9mo ago

if its ["Value 1","Value 2"] (which is valid json, a list with 2 string elements), instead of "["Value 1","Value 2"]" which is invalid json, it makes quite a difference u r using Newtonsoft.Json, right?

- SinAw•9mo ago

yes

cap5lut•9mo ago

and u want to deserialize it to a string array? as in string[]? because that would be a simple string[] arr = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<string[]>(content); what type is item btw?

ow it worked, thank you very much

cap5lut•9mo ago

if it worked, then this ⤴️ with the extra " at the start and the end was just about how u displayed the content and if u r on .NEt 7 or later u should really look into using System.Text.Json instead, its since .net 7 the defacto standard unless u have some niche cases regarding invalid json @- SinAw if ur question is answered, please mark this thread as that by $close -ing it
