How would I access an array formatted like this? http://pastebin.com/8tSnU5WV

When I try to use

echo -a $json(gameinfo,game,teamTwo,array,2)

I get a random string of numbers. I'm sure I'm just doing it wrong but I don't quite know how to do it. I saw the examples, but I'm not sure how to apply it to URL get. I'm a newbie be gentle. I'm posting this again, because I accidentally posted it as a reply.

There is no "teamTwo" in the pastebin you posted. Instead of showing just a snippet of the problematic code, could you pastebin the whole code?

Yeah, sorry about that, as for the code this is pretty much it all I have is a jsonopen -ud to the API, I can get some information but none of the nested information hence why I'm sure I'm probably doing this wrong.

When accessing the json, if you are trying to access a 'node' that has child members, a reference to those child members is returned, instead of a value. To get values from the json as you listed, you'd have to specify each member you want to grab.

This returns a reference to game.teamTwo.array[0]:

alias test_json {
    jsonopen -ud test http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=9H43Gbav
    echo -s Rating: $json(test, game, teamTwo, array, 0)
}

This gets teamRating and pickMode from game.teamTwo.array[0]:

alias test_json {
    jsonopen -ud test http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=9H43Gbav
    echo -s Rating: $json(test, game, teamTwo, array, 0, teamRating)
    echo -s pickMode: $json(test, game, teamTwo, array, 1, pickMode)
}

Works great. Thank you.
