Debugger - Print Associative Array?

roAssociativeArray supports the ifEnum interface, so you can just say

for each key in aa ...

Several of the examples have a PrintAA function that will print an AssociativeArray using this technique.

"print" comes to mind :). Seriously though, the print output has improved recently (7.1). Cue:

BrightScript Debugger> ? config
<Component: roAssociativeArray> =
{
    init1:  5
    init2:  1332175218 
    name: Kuro%.2s%s
    origin: http://localhost
    servers: <Component: roArray>
}

When i want to see the nested data, i'd use "? formatJSON(...)"

I noticed that. I was like "why is it printing that array?

Great idea. Thanks

Secondary question: How do I print an associative array in this scenario?

<Component: roArray> =
[
<Component: roAssociativeArray>
]

I should pay more attention the answers:

? formatJSON(myVariable)

Does the job, thanks all!

Yep, serializing to JSON will do it if bearable enough to watch. Or looking at the above, you got yourself an "array of dictionaries" [{}], so to see what's inside, have to peel the top level first, e.g. "? myVar[0]" will print you the top level of the AA. I know, can be confusing - but at least now PRINT mentions the type and shows the [ ] or { } brackets, before if i remember it would just dump the content. BEFORE it was something like:

BrightScript Debugger> ? [ { } ]
<Component: roAssociativeArray>
