storing an array of strings in a profile attribute

Hi,

I have the following profile script:

user.arrayTest

if (mbox.name == "kevins_mbox") {
  user.setLocal("arrayTest", ["hello", "world"]);
  return user.getLocal("arrayTest");
}

However, when trying to use the array in a JS offer via: ${user.arrayTest}

The final output looks like this: [hello, world] - i.e. the quotes are missing and a JavaScript error is thrown.

According to this document: http://microsite.omniture.com/t2/help/en_US/tnt/pdf/js_expression_cheat_sheet.pdf

"Script Profile Parameters are found under the mboxes/profiles tab. You 
can write Javascript programs that return any Javascript type (String, 
integer, array, etc)"

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here?

Many thanks,

Kevin

With just the snippet above, quotation marks should not be getting removed.

However, they would not be printed out if you were trying to display/use one of the elements of the array. i.e. you would need to something like this get the quotation marks printed out:

['"hello"', '"world"']

It would be helpful to have some more context.

What is the JavaScript error you are getting?

Can you be more specific about what you are doing with ${user.arrayTest}?

Is it possible to share the page on which you are trying to implement this custom code? a link to the page, the page code, etc.

Hi Kevin,


Maybe if you fixed the quotes the output would look right.

 

Thanks,

Hi Avik,

Thanks for your reply. I am passing the array with quoted elements. Point is, that is not what is returned from the TnT engine (missing the quotes)
