Lists in data

[thorny aurora]

So I have a list in an item, I can get it with /data which returns [1,2,3] how would I get a certain value in that list from a number

[thorny aurora]

as in how would I find the first thing in the list or the 3rd

[modern sentinel]

/data get … the_list[index]?

[thorny aurora]

Would I be able to use it in a macro

[modern sentinel]

so list[n] gives the (n+1)th thing in the list

[modern sentinel]

Yea

[thorny aurora]

so

$data get ... list[$(value)]

should work?

[modern sentinel]

Yep

[thorny aurora]

right and how would I find the length of a list

I can put it in storage and read from there but are there easier methods?

[cloud crystal]

you also have the posibillity to use compounds as the entries, that way you can search for data directly without knowing the index.

[thorny aurora]

?

[cloud crystal]

Data: [{name:"steve",health:10},{name:"alex",health:20}]

data get ... list[{name:"alex"}].health returns 20

[thorny aurora]

oh thats cool

and very useful for what im trying to do

[cloud crystal]

execute store ... run data get ... list[]

[thorny aurora]

so yeah storage

I wish I could store the actual list

[cloud crystal]

what do you mean?

[thorny aurora]

well the options are byte int double etc

actually wait nvm

anyway thank you for the help

[cloud crystal]

why would you need anything else than int if you want to store the length?

[thorny aurora]

no I was thinking about what I wanted to do wrong

so yeah thanks for the help it will be very useful
