Need help with JSON serialization in the VBScript

Help & Support

No problem mate. I have been working on a couple of scripts that do this. They create Xpath and Regexp custom columns. The Config is a JSON object that I store in a global variables.

This Regexp is fully functional and does all those things. Regexp Columns
This xpath script is a work in progress. XPath columns

The bit you care about is this.

var doVars = DOpus.vars;
var xmlKey = "XmlCustomColumnsConfig";

function SaveCustomColumns(customColumns){
	var newList = new Array();
	for(var i = 0; i < customColumns.columns.length; ++i) {
		if(customColumns.columns[i]) {
			newList.push(customColumns.columns[i]);
		}
	}
	customColumns.columns = newList;
        var config = JSON.stringify(customColumns, undefined, 2).replace(/(\n)+/g,"\r\n");
        doVars(xmlKey) = config;
        doVars(xmlKey).persist = true;
}

function LoadCustomColumns(){
        var config = doVars.Exists(xmlKey) ? JSON.parse(doVars.Get(xmlKey)) : null;
        if(!config) 

        {
  		config = defaultCustomColumns;
  	}
	return config
}

This script will help to see what is in the global variables.
