dictionary string number

DanielC

Hello, Does anybody know how to get the string number for a string in a key in a dictionary? The manual shows how to add keys and strings, but not how to display the number the string has got. Like if I have

var d = {4: 5, "A key": "A value", 28: [1, 2, 3]}

How do I know what number 3 in key 28 has got. I know it is 2, but how to retrieve it by code.

This should work (untested): d["28"][1]

Also it is better when you put the keys in quotes ("4" or "28") in the dictionary assign.

I don't think that is what I am searching for. I need the opposit direction

If I use this code:

var d = {28: ["drie", "vier", "vijf"]}
var b

func _ready():
	b = d[28]["vier"]
	print(b)

I get error: Invalid get index 'vier' (on base: 'Array'). If I change it to

b = d[28][1]

I get

vier

I need Godot to print me the number 1 if I ask it for the number for string "vier"

Something like this should work (untested):

var dictionary = {
	28 : ["drie", "vier", "vijf"]
}
var b
func _ready():
	b = d[28].find("vier")
	if (b != -1):
		print ("index for vier: " + String(b))
	else:
		print ("vier not found!")

Works like a charm! Thank you.
