Syntax Error || Help? ||

[Chazrox]

Any ideas? Getting "7:13 Syntax Error"

	if (presetFile.isFile())
	{
		ArpNotesPresets = presetFile.loadAsObject(); // "7:13 Syntax Error"
	
		// Manually extract keys
		var keyList = [];
		for (k in ArpNotesPresets)
			keyList.push(k);
	
		ArpPresetList.set("items", keyList.join("\n"));
	}

@Chazrox does your preset file contain valid json data?

[Chazrox]

@d-healey it writes to it and populates the combobox so I assume its declared properly.

but...ArpNotesPresetsA doesnt show up like the other files...clue?

**EDIT File icon is the same now.

Upon recompiling thats when I get the Errror.

Its lets me save as many items until I recompile then I get Syntax Errror.

[Chazrox]

@d-healey I fixed it....

// I had this....

const var ArpNotesPresets = {};

// Should've been this....

reg ArpNotesPresets = {};

// Lesson learned 

**EDIT See Below....

@d-healey

Im still having a problem with Syntax error. Im not changing the object but when I start testing if its writing values, after recompiling or saving a preset, it show 'Syntax Error'.

Can you spot it?

namespace ArpeggiatorPresetsSubMenu
{
	
	//---------------------------COMPONENT DECLARATIONS--------------------------
	
	// COMBOBOX
	const var ArpPresetList = Content.getComponent("ArpPresetList");

	const var ArpPresetNameToSave = Content.getComponent("ArpPresetNameToSave"); 
	
	// SAVE OK BUTTON
	const var ArpSaveOk = Content.getComponent("ArpSaveOk"); // SAVE OK BUTTON

	//--------------------------FILE & OBJECT DECLARATION ------------------------
	
	// File path for saving/loading
	const var presetFile = FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.Desktop).getChildFile("ArpNotesPresetsA.json");

@Chazrox Leave us alone, we're learning alot tonight.

[d.healey]

@Chazrox open the file in a text editor, make sure it contains what you expect

[Chazrox]

@d-healey I got this working. I just need that loop. haha.
