I am trying to create a table of name:value pairs in a variable and then look that up when a parameter is passed into piston so I can send a SMS message when the name is located. In Java/groovy this would be pretty simple but I can’t seem to find a way to do this.
Does anyone have some sample code that demonstrates the variable assignment and lookup?
Thanks.
Maybe you can use this as a springboard. It basically looks for a state abbreviation and returns the full name.
Theoretically that should work, or get you started in the right direction,
Lol your right, missed that one… fixed for those that may need it.
I guess you could theoretically use this to write your own contact book… the send messages to your contacts using the result
I could see this piston being handy in reverse as well…
To have shorter (friendly) names displayed instead of long named devices…
Yes two string arrays should work as long as the index stays in sync. Not as elegant as a index:value pair but does work. Already coded it into my piston…thanks…
Yes that wold be the best approach just need to figure out a good way to code. Because I only have 6 elements using the array method isn’t that bad but if the list grows to say the example of 50 states I would defiantly look at Jason encoding.
