quite agree, and as Jacque says “its the law” - and only the brave own up to 
their DOH! moments (of which I have several every hour)

Recipe stacks for bugs are useful for all kinds of reasons ;)

Re: JSON import error

[David V Glasgow via use-livecode]

 From the thrid party perspective, it doesn’t matter whether the OP has an 
epiphany, or another list contributor solves the problem.  All is good 
interesting and helpful.   It’s also nice to see that even the wise ones have 
the same 'moments of discovery' that the rest of us do.

Anything having to do with lists/collections?

I don't think so. The import works with most of the 300 entries in the 
file, but fails on a few with identical syntax that contain some unusual 
characters. I've reported it.

file: will recognise the BOM and decode the text correctly.

I sent my message too soon. If I import as "file:" instead of "binfile:" 
it mostly works.


You always figure it out as soon as you post. It's a rule.

On 11/2/17 1:02 AM, J. Landman Gay via use-livecode wrote:
I am trying to convert some JSON to a LC array. Both JSONImport and 
JSONToArray are failing. JSONToArray gives only a generic "error in 
function". JSONImport gives this:


863,9,9,runtime
864,9,9,syntax error: 1:1 Unexpected character '˛'
865,9,9,json.lcb
866,9,9,65
897,9,9,1
865,9,9,json.lcb
866,9,9,262
897,9,9,1
219,9,9,JSONimport
465,9,9

The JSON is full of foreign characters, saved on disk as UTF-16 (with 
BOM), and read into LC as binary text. I've run the text through several 
online JSON validators and none report any problems.


I don't know if the above error will come through the list correctly but 
it isn't a normal comma. LC's charToNum() reports 254. I pasted it into 
BBEdit's "find" dialog and when I do a search on the actual file, BBEdit 
says it doesn't exist in there.


Any ideas what might be wrong?
