JSON sub-actions

JSON array count

Counts the items in a list inside JSON, a common way web services send data. Mostly used after a "Call a web address" step. Beginners rarely need it.

Setting	What to put in
Read from variable	The variable that holds the data, like httpResponse. Empty = use the text in the JSON box instead. Starts as: httpResponse.
JSON	The JSON text itself, like [1,2,3]. Ignored when the first box (Read from variable) is filled in.
Path	Where the list is inside the data. $ = the whole thing. $.data = the list called data. Starts as: $.
Save in variable	The variable that receives the count, without % signs. The default jsonCount means you use %jsonCount%. Starts as: jsonCount.

Variables it adds

Variable	What it holds
%jsonCount%	How many items the list has (the variable name can be changed in the settings)
%jsonFound%	True if the place in the data was found

Type id: core.jsonCount
