Hi. I'm trying to extract the "message" component from the attached Facebook JSON string, but it fails when attempting to decode the JSON array. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?


Task Steps: (Right click, Select All, Copy to copy to the clipboard. Steps can then be pasted into the AutoMate Task Builder)
<AMVARIABLE NAME="HttpResponse" VALUE="{&quot;error&quot;:{&quot;message&quot;:&quot;Error validating access token: Session has expired on Tuesday, 15-May-18 20:00:00 PDT. The current time is Tuesday, 15-May-18 20:28:02 PDT.&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;OAuthException&quot;,&quot;code&quot;:190,&quot;error_subcode&quot;:463,&quot;fbtrace_id&quot;:&quot;D4swqXtpBGW&quot;}}" /> <AMJSON JSONSTRING="[%HttpResponse%]" RESULTSTRUCTURE="aryJSON" /> <AMSHOWDIALOG>%aryJSON(0).message%</AMSHOWDIALOG>

Hi Jason,
I tried to run your script and it failed but the following works! Note 'error' is a reserved work, so this is partially the culprit that makes your script fail. I think also the other part is that you are trying to pass in as Array. That part I am not sure since I have not worked with JSON. I think if you are getting a response back that has error, I would just replace the error with some other word to push it through (Use Text Action Replace)?

Thank you. I wasn't aware of the keyword reservation in AM11. Facebook uses that word extensively in its error messaging. I'll do a simple text replace as suggested
