String to JSON array

[musicmannz]

Hi

If I have a string that looks like e.g.

[['line1',line2'],['line3','line4']]

How can I turn this into a JSON array? The split() method doesn't work...

This would be one of the few occassions I would actually promote the use of "eval":

var myArrayString = "[['line1', 'line2'], ['line3', 'line4']]";
var myArray = eval(myArrayString);
alert(myArray.length); // should return 2
alert(myArray[1][1]);   // should return 'line4';

Hope this helps,
Dan

Of course, your original was missing a quote before 'line2', so that needed to be inserted.
