Creating array of arrays with JavaScript

I have the following code, which when run gives error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'split' of undefined
Here you can run it.
var myData = "some1,some2,some3\nsome4,some5,some6\nsome7,some8,some9";
var arrayed = myData.split('\n');
var columns = arrayed.length;
var urlArray = new Array(columns);
console.log(arrayed);
var newarrayed = arrayed.split(',');
console.log(newarrayed);
I have myData array, I want to convert it to an array of arrays, splitting first at \n to seperate arrays, and second at , to create the items inside the arrays. so this list would be like:
[[data1, data2, data3], [data4, data5, data6], [data7, data8, data9]]
console.log(arrayed); does something similar, but when I try to access it using arrayed[0][0], it gives me just the first letter.

You're not splitting the strings correctly. You try to split them twice, but the second time fails because you are calling split on an array, not a string. Try looping over them instead.
var myData = "some1,some2,some3\nsome4,some5,some6\nsome7,some8,some9";
var arrayed = myData.split('\n');
var columns = arrayed.length;
var urlArray = new Array(columns);
console.log(arrayed);
var newarrayed = [];
for (var i in arrayed) {
newarrayed.push(arrayed[i].split(','));
}
console.log(newarrayed);

String from jquery array element

I'm looking at arrays in jquery and have this issue, I need to assign a key with a town name, but struggling to understand how to deal with the spaces.
var hashtable = {};
hashtable['Bognor Regis'] = ["lat=50.782998&lng=-0.673061","Sussex"];
var str = hashtable.Bognor Regis[0];
alert(str);
I thought perhaps I could do this
hashtable['Bognor-Regis'] = ["lat=50.782998&lng=-0.673061","Sussex"];
var str = hashtable.Bognor-Regis[0];
then remove the - later, but it only seems to work if i have something like this
hashtable['BognorRegis'] = ["lat=50.782998&lng=-0.673061","Sussex"];
What's the correct way of doing this ?
Thanks

If the keys have spaces you have to use the array accessor to retrieve them:
var hashtable = {};
hashtable['Bognor Regis'] = ["lat=50.782998&lng=-0.673061","Sussex"];
var str = hashtable['Bognor Regis'][0];
alert(str);

How to split a URL string with parameters into an array using JavaScript

I'm trying to break up a string like this one:
fname=bill&mname=&lname=jones&addr1=This%20House&...
I want to end up with an array indexed like this
myarray[0][0] = fname
myarray[0][1] = bill
myarray[1][0] = mname
myarray[1][1] =
myarray[2][0] = lname
myarray[2][1] = jones
myarray[3][0] = addr
myarray[3][1] = This House
The url is quite a bit longer than the example. This is what I've tried:
var
fArray = [],
nv = [],
myarray = [];
fArray = fields.split('&');
// split it into fArray[i]['name']="value"
for (i=0; i < fArray.length; i++) {
nv = fArray[i].split('=');
myarray.push(nv[0],nv[1]);
nv.length = 0;
}
The final product is intended to be in 'myarray' and it is, except that I'm getting a one dimensional array instead of a 2 dimensional one.
The next process is intended to search for (for example) 'lname' and returning the index of it, so that if it returned '3' I can then access the actual last name with myarray[3][1].
Does this make sense or am I over complicating things?

Your line myarray.push(nv[0],nv[1]); pushes two elements to the array myarray, not a single cell with two elements as you expect (ref: array.push). What you want is myarray.push( [nv[0],nv[1]] ) (note the brackets), or myarray.push(nv.slice(0, 2)) (ref: array.slice).
To simplify your code, may I suggest using Array.map:
var q = "foo=bar&baz=quux&lorem=ipsum";
// PS. If you're parsing from a-tag nodes, they have a property
// node.search which contains the query string, but note that
// it has a leading ? so you want node.search.substr(1)
var vars = q.split("&").map(function (kv) {
return kv.split("=", 2);
});
For searching, I would suggest using array.filter:
var srchkey = "foo";
var matches = vars.filter(function (v) { return v[0] === srchkey; });
NB. array.filter will always return an array. If you always want just a single value, you could use array.some or a bespoke searching algorithm.

for (var i = 0; i < fArray.length; i++) {
nv = fArray[i].split('=');
myarray.push([nv[0],nv[1]]);
}
nv.length = 0; is not required, since you're setting nv in each iteration of the for loop.
Also, use var i in the for-loop, otherwise, you're using / assigning a global variable i, that's asking for interference.

Javascript JSON stringify No Numeric Index to include in Data

i am trying to pass non numeric index values through JSON but am not getting the data.
var ConditionArray = new Array();
ConditionArray[0] = "1";
ConditionArray[1] = "2";
ConditionArray[2] = "3";
ConditionArray['module'] = "Test";
ConditionArray['table'] = "tab_test";
var Data = JSON.stringify(ConditionArray);
When i alert the Data Variable it has the Values 1,2 and 3 but module and table are not included. How can this be added so that the whole string is passed.
EDIT : And what if i have some multidimensional elements also included like
ConditionArray[0] = new Array();
ConditionArray[0] = "11";

JSON structure only recognizes numeric properties of an Array. Anything else is ignored.
You need an Object structure if you want to mix them.
var ConditionArray = new Object();

This would be an better approach:
var values = {
array : ["1", "2", "3"],
module : "Test",
table : "tab_test"
};
var data = JSON.stringify(values);

Since javascript array accepts numeric index only. If you want non numeric index,use Object instead.
var ConditionArray = {};
ConditionArray[0] = "1";
ConditionArray[1] = "2";
ConditionArray[2] = "3";
ConditionArray['module'] = "Test";
ConditionArray['table'] = "tab_test";
var Data = JSON.stringify(ConditionArray);
Here is the working DEMO : http://jsfiddle.net/cUhha/

According to the algorithm for JSON.stringfy (step 4b), only the (numeric) indices of arrays are stringified.

This is because Array does not contain your elements.
When you do this:
ConditionArray['module'] = "Test";
You actually add a property to the ConditionArray, not elements. While JSON.stringify converts to string only elements of the ConditionArray. For example:
var arr = new Array;
arr['str'] = 'string';
console.log(arr.length) //outputs 0
You need to use an Object instead of Array

If you change the first line to
var ConditionArray = new Object();
you will achieve the desired outcome.

If for some reason you cannot convert your array into object, for instance you are working on a big framework or legacy code that you dont want to touch and your job is only to add som feature which requires JSON API use, you should consider using JSON.stringify(json,function(k,v){}) version of the API.
In the function you can now decide what to do with value of key is of a specific type.

this is the way how I solved this problem
Where tblItemsTypeform is array and arrange is de index of the array
:
let itemsData = [];
for(var i = 0; i <= this.tblItemsTypeform.length -1;i++){
let itemsForms = {
arrange: i,
values: this.tblItemsTypeform[i]
}
itemsData.push(itemsForms)
}
And finally use this in a variable to send to api:
var data = JSON.stringify(itemsData)

Convert string to become variable

I have multiple variables containing JSON as string (received from AJAX).
data.output_data_1234
data.output_data_5678
I convert them to Array:
var outputdataarr = new Array(data.output_data_1234);
This works fine, but how do I add a number to the var name:
var outputdataarr = new Array('data.output_data_'+formid+'');
this one does not work.
formid contains a proper number.
This does not work too:
var outputvar = window['data.output_data_' + formid];
var outputdataarr = new Array(outputvar);
Please help. Thanks.

You probably mean, you need something like this:
var outputdataarr = new Array(data['output_data_'+formid]);
You can only use string in square brackets as an object field identifier. It cannot contain '.'.
UPDATE:
However, you will probably need a loop to fill the whole array, e.g.
var outputdataarr = new Array();
for (var i=1000; i<2000; i++) {
outputdataarr.push(data['output_data_'+formid]);
}

Use [] instead of new Array is better.
var outputdataarr = [];
outputdataarr.push(data['output_data_'+formid]);
//and so on
