@whole elk I don't get what I should do

why doesn't the json file just interpret the proxies as regular strings

[whole elk]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

you've been here long enough and have asked for help enough times to know how our process works

we aren't mind readers nor can we see your code or screen.

[whole elk]

json can't be just a list.

then it's not JSON.

[dawn ermine]

Yes it can.

That's just fine.

[unreal ravine]

that's how I always do it

[whole elk]

can it?

[dawn ermine]

1 on its own is just fine.

[pliant dome]

sure

[whole elk]

[dawn ermine]

It's a JavaScript expression!

[whole elk]

oh right, json is supposed to be valid java or something

then show your code and exactly why you think theres an error.

[dawn ermine]

JavaScript is not Java.

Here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8259

[whole elk]

no i understand that, but i heard some weird statement about java and JSON, but i disgress

[dawn ermine]

Java's a totally different language.

[unreal ravine]

does proxies.json have some special value or something? I copied all the data in proxies.json and moved it to a new json file named something else and it loaded in fine

[whole elk]

no, that's just a filename

again, you asking us to guess

you've been here to know better. what error are you getting?

[dawn ermine]

You've shown us theJSON file. Now show us the code using it and the error you're getting.

[remote cosmos]

are u using json.load(filename) or reading it like a txt file

[whole elk]

bruh.

[whole elk]

code?

[unreal ravine]

I haven't written any code

not yet, I was first getting all the proxies

[whole elk]

then how or why are you getting an error?

[unreal ravine]

perhaps I didn't word things well

there is no "error"

[whole elk]

[unreal ravine]

the yellow in proxies.json is the thing that's confusing me

[remote cosmos]

are you talking about the /r?

[unreal ravine]

no

proxies.json and bob.json contain the exact same data, why is proxies.json yellow and not bob.json

[dawn ermine]

The yellow just looks highlighted to me. What's confusing you?

[dawn ermine]

Guessing left over from the copy/paste selection.

[whole elk]

yeah, looks like the list has been selected

[whole elk]

for the love of god, if you're seeing warnings or error, show them

[dawn ermine]

And if you're not, please explain what's confusing.

[remote cosmos]

press control-a .. does everything turn yellow

[dawn ermine]

We;re all thinking that it went yellow when you selected it to copy. To show you what's selected.

[whole elk]

[unreal ravine]

sorry

[remote cosmos]

Paul.. mah dude.. your making a funny right?

[unreal ravine]

guys I'm being completely honest I'm not even trying to troll or be misleading. I genuienly just don't know why there is ⚠️ in proxies.json and not bob.json

[whole elk]

you can click on it, to view the error.

[dawn ermine]

Aye, click on it.

[whole elk]

hover over it.

[unreal ravine]

incompatible types required: object actual: array

[dawn ermine]

Odd. What's the bottom of the file look like?

[unreal ravine]

looks exactly how you'd expect it

[dawn ermine]

Well I see no problem with that file. Can you load it using the Python json module?

[unreal ravine]

honestly I'm just gonna use the json file that works. proxies.json is a cursed file name for sure

[remote cosmos]

for shids and giggles check everyline ends with a comma

[dawn ermine]

... except the last entry in a dict or array - a JSON annoyance. It looks ok. But yes, scan all the intermediate lines by eye.

Though it complains about line 2, pretty early.

[remote cosmos]

probably a slight copypasta mistake between files

[lavish basin]

Except the last one*

[unreal ravine]

I copied the erroneous file data into the other one and no problems. there's no way a comma is missing otherwise the other file would've brought it up

[lavish basin]

Why are there \r(s) everywhere?
Who do we think we are, Apple??

[dawn ermine]

Just weird.

[whole elk]

i give up

[remote cosmos]

and stop doing pictures plz.. if you post it we could see it easier.. i for one a lot better cause on my phone

[dawn ermine]

The carriage returns are a bit odd; I assume they came from the original data omehow.

[whole elk]

for future help, please stick to our requests, we've done it multiple times, code as text, include information, etc

[unreal ravine]

for sure lol

I'm gonna write the actual code now let's hope no problems :D

[whole elk]

data as text as well, including stuff like JSON, if its big, then use the paste service.

[unreal ravine]

fs

thanks
