How to convert into an array of string into Key/Value format?

Do you mean your array is as:

arr1:{Name: "XyZ", Name: "Abc", Name: "Def"}
arr2:{Age: 25, Age: 23, Age: 32}

And you want to form as: arr3 : {{Name: "XyZ", Age: 25} , {Name: "Abc", Age: 23}, {Name: "Def", Age: 32}}

No, Let me explain in detail. I have a url from which I have to fetch required values. Lets say my url is as below

<a title='Welcome to appian' href:'https://../../Name=XYZ/Age=23/Profession=Student>

As you can see in the above url Name,Age and Profession as the data that is being appended to it from process model. All I have to do is to fetch the values from this url and pass it as a parameter on another process model where there is a start form configured to show all this values. Now I already separated the values from this url. In such a way that when users click on this url the required value will be save in one of the array variable as "Name:XYZ ; Age:23 ; profession:student. As I want to send this values to my process model. I need to map Name,Age and Profession with the same variable available in that process model, So that the form will display corresponding value. I hope my requirement is now clear

You can use wherecontains fn and find where Name is there in you array. Once you find Name you can use split fn and take second part after ':'.
I hope this is helpful to you

Hello TJ,

Thanks for your response but I don't think this solution will going to be helpful. Url consists of data that is dynamic so lets say at one time the data will be "Name,Age and Profession" then other time it will be something else like "Department,Email" etc. So I don't want to point out any specific variable, I want to send as an whole the data contained in an array variable . In such a way that process model will accept the required data and ignore any other data which is not needed.

Hi Vivek,

Please find the sample code,

 

=with(
  
  local!Input_txt:"Name=XYZ/Age=23/Profession=Student",
  
  a!forEach(
    split(
      local!Input_txt,"/"
    ),
    with(
      local!ItemValues: split(fv!item,"="),
      {
        index(local!ItemValues,1,""),
        index(local!ItemValues,2,"")
      }
    )
  )
  
)

Please check the below code:

load(
local!str: "Name:xyz/age:30/profession:Student",
local!concatedStr: concat(local!str,"/"),
local!name: extract(local!concatedStr, "Name:", "/"),
local!age: extract(local!concatedStr, "age:", "/"),
local!profession : extract(local!concatedStr, "profession:", "/"),
local!array: {
Name: local!name,
Age: local!age,
Profession: local!profession
},
local!array
)

A very similar question was asked and answered recently: community.appian.com/.../how-to-fetch-string-between-two-special-characters

For accuracy in above responses, you can use wherecontains function for 'Key' and then next index will be your 'value' respectively.

Hello Vivek,

See below code, it may help you develop a more robust solution. I've quickly thrown together some code which will create a list of list of strings, which should a be a list of key/value pairs where the keys can be dynamic. Please note you may want to do some additional string cleaning, as the last value has the '>' character still in it.

load(
local!data: "<a title='Welcome to appian' href:'https://../../Name=XYZ/Age=23/Profession=Student>",
local!subdata: keyval(
local!data,
"=",
"/"
),
local!splitdata: split(
local!subdata,
"/"
),
local!cleanSplitData: filter(
search(
"=",
_,
1
),
local!splitdata
),
/*If '=' is not found, search returns 0, which converts to false, and so those strings are removed from list*/
local!groupedData: apply(
split(
_,
"="
),
local!cleanSplitData
),
local!groupedData/*indexing this list will give you a pair, where [1] is the key, and [2] is the value*/

)
