Can't access these array values.

I'm parsing a json into an array.
is it because of the dashes?

I'm assuming there are format issues with the array keys but I've never encountered this before.

Re: Can't access these array values.

Try list["total-series"] or list.Lookup("total-series"). That hyphen is getting interpreted as a subtraction operator, i.e., list.total - series. Neither list.total or series actually exist.

Re: Can't access these array values.

It would be the same behavior if you had spaces in the key names, such as "total series". If you want to keep using the dot format, ie list.total-series, you could use underscore _ such as list.total_series
