Freebase result has forward slash in variable name

[harmmeijer]

I get something back like this from freebase:

var result = {
   "/location/location/containedby" : "the value",
   otherval : 22
}
// result./location/location/containedby gives me syntax error (suggested by
//  jsEclipse auto suggest
// result.location.location.containedby  not working either
// result."location.location.containedby" gives me a syntax error
result.otherval; // no problem

So my question is how do I read a variable that has a forward slash in its name? In other words: how do I read the value of /location/location/containedby?

Kind regards,

You could use underscores, which are valid characters in variable names.

Some rules for javascript variable names:

Lee, thanks for your reply

There is no way I can control what freebase is sending me (maybe changing the query will help but I don't see why).

Firebug can reed the variable so I should be able to do so too.

The example given above is what Freebase.com returnes to me, so there is no way to change variable names.

Kind regards,

The sollution is:
res["/location/location/containedby"]

That will read the value for "/location/location/containedby"
