Finding JSONPath value by a partial key - jsonpath

I have the following JSON:
{
"Dialog_1": {
"en": {
"label_1595938607000": "Label1",
"newLabel": "Label2"
}
}
}
I want to extract "Label1" by using JSONPath. The problem is that each time I get a JSON with a different number after "label_", and I'm looking for a consistent JSONPath expression that will return the value for any key that begins with "label_" (without knowing in advance the number after the underscore).

It is not possible with JSONPath. EL or Expression Language does not have sch capability.
Besides, I think you need to review your design. Why the variable name is going to be changed all the time? If it is changing then it is data and you need to keep it in a variable. You cannot keep data in data.

How to extract a string value from an array using scripted field in kibana?

Is there a way to extract a string value from an array with the use of if statement in scripted field in kibana. I tried the below code, however, I am unable to filter out the correct and incorrect values in discover tab of kibana. This might be due to remark field is an array.
def result_string = "";
if (doc['nac.keyword'].value =="existing_intent" &&doc['remark.keyword'].value != "acceptable") {
result_string = "incorrect";
}
if (doc['nac.keyword'].value =="existing_intent" &&doc['remark.keyword'].value == "acceptable") {
result_string = "correct";
}
return result_string;`
You can use the contains method defined on Array to check for element membership:
!doc['remark.keyword'].value.contains("acceptable") //does not contain
For this, you might want to ensure first that doc['remark.keyword'].value is indeed an Array.

Extract values from web service JSON response with JSONPath

I have a JSON response from web service that looks something like this :
[
{
"id":4,
"sourceID":null,
"subject":"SomeSubjectOne",
"category":"SomeCategoryTwo",
"impact":null,
"status":"completed"
},
{
"id":12,
"sourceID":null,
"subject":"SomeSubjectTwo",
"category":"SomeCategoryTwo",
"impact":null,
"status":"assigned"
}
]
What I need to do is extract the subjects from all of the entities by using JSONPATH query.
How can I get these results :
Subject from the first item - SomeSubjectOne
Filter on specific subject value from all entities (SomeSubjectTwo for example)
Get Subjects from all entities
Goessner's orinial JSONPath article is a good reference point and all implementations more or less stick to the suggested query syntax. However, implementations like Jayway JsonPath/Java, JSONPath-Plus/JavaScript, flow-jsonpath/PHP may behave a little differently in some areas. That's why it can be important to know what implementation you are actually using.
Subject from the first item
Just use an index to select the desired array element.
$.[0].subject
Returns:
SomeSubjectOne
Specific subject value
First, go for any elements .., check those with a subject [?(#.subject] and use == '..' for comparison.
$..[?(#.subject == 'SomeSubjectTwo')]
Returns
[ {
"id" : 12,
"sourceID" : null,
"subject" : "SomeSubjectTwo",
"category" : "SomeCategoryTwo",
"impact" : null,
"status" : "assigned" } ]*
Get all subjects
$.[*].subject
or simply
$..subject
Returns
[ "SomeSubjectOne", "SomeSubjectTwo" ]

Loadrunner Parameters in JSON String

I'm trying to use a parameter inside of a JSON string, and would like to use an inner parameter to replace an GUID. I've changed the default parameter start and end characters since curly braces are used in JSON.
I've tried to do something like this, where the json param contains my json which is similar to this below.
{"DashboardGUID":"<Dash_GUID>"}
request_json = lr_eval_string("<json>");
lr_save_string(request_json, "request_json_param");
I'm expecting the lr_eval_string to replace the with the GUID that's in this parameter, what's the best why of replacing this ID in my JSON String?
Not sure what you are asking but I will put this here in case someone comes here in the future:
main.c
Action()
{
lr_eval_json("Buffer/File=my_json.json", "JsonObject=MJO",LAST);
lr_json_stringify("JsonObject=MJO","Format=compact", "OutputParam=newJsonBody",LAST);
lr_save_string(lr_eval_string(lr_eval_string("{newJsonBody}")),"tmp");
web_reg_find("Text={mydate}",LAST);
web_rest("POST",
"URL=http://myServer.microfocus.com/url",
"Method=POST",
"EncType=raw",
"Body={tmp}",
HEADERS,
"Name=Content-Type", "Value=application/json", ENDHEADER,
LAST);
return 0;
}
my_json.json
{
"LastActionId": 0,
"Updated": "{mydate}"
}
Okay so instead of doing what I'm thinking above I ended up creating an array of char's with this {"DashboardGUID":"<Dash_GUID>", someotherdata:"123"} in 10 different positions within the array. I then randomly selected an element from this array and when doing the lr_eval_string the parameter was replaced.
Hopefully this makes sense those looking to do something similar.

Firebase startAt String only takes first character

I have a structure like below under xyz
{
"pushKey000": {
"findKey": "john_1",
"userName": "john",
"topic": 1
},
"pushKey001": {
"findKey": "john_2",
"userName": "john",
"topic": 2
},
"pushKey002": {
"findKey": "joel_1",
"userName": "joel",
"topic": 1
}
}
Now am trying to make a query where I want data of all entries with findKey starting with "john". I tried the following:(Using REST for example)
https://abc.firebaseio.com/xyz.json?orderBy="findKey"&startAt="john"
This gives me all the results including 'joel'. Basically it just uses the first character of startAt, in this case J.
This firebase video fires the same type of query but only searches with just first character.
Is there something wrong that I am doing or is there is any other way to retrieve it using findKey? Thanks a lot for the help in advance
PS: My .indexOn is on findKey and can't change it
There is nothing wrong with your code, there is something wrong with your expectations. (I always wanted to write that as an answer :))
The startAt() function works as a starting point for your query, not a filter. So in your case it will find the first occurance of "john" and return everything from that point forward (Including Joel, Kevin, Tim, etc...).
Unfortunatly there is no direct way to do a query where findKey contains the string "john". But luckely there is a (partial) workaround using endAt().
You query will look like this:
orderBy="findKey"&startAt="john"&endAt="john\uf8ff"
Here \uf8ff is the last unicode character (please correct me if I'm wrong).
With this you can query for values that start with "john" like "johnnie", "johnn", "john". But not "1john" or "johm" or "joel".

How do I get a value from a dictionary when the key is a value in another dictionary in Lua?

I am writing some code where I have multiple dictionaries for my data. The reason being, I have multiple core objects and multiple smaller assets and the user must be able to choose a smaller asset and have some function off in the distance run the code with the parent noted.
An example of one of the dictionaries: (I'm working in ROBLOX Lua 5.1 but the syntax for the problem should be identical)
local data = {
character = workspace.Stores.NPCs.Thom,
name = "Thom", npcId = 9,
npcDialog = workspace.Stores.NPCs.Thom.Dialog
}
local items = {
item1 = {
model = workspace.Stores.Items.Item1.Main,
npcName = "Thom",
}
}
This is my function:
local function function1(item)
if not items[item] and data[items[item[npcName]]] then return false end
end
As you can see, I try to index the dictionary using a key from another dictionary. Usually this is no problem.
local thisIsAVariable = item[item1[npcName]]
but the method I use above tries to index the data dictionary for data that is in the items dictionary.
Without a ton of local variables and clutter, is there a way to do this? I had an idea to wrap the conflicting dictionary reference in a tostring() function to separate them - would that work?
Thank you.
As I see it, your issue is that:
data[items[item[npcName]]]
is looking for data[“Thom”] ... but you do not have such a key in the data table. You have a “name” key that has a “Thom” value. You could reverse the name key and value in the data table. “Thom” = name
