Hi I have an ajax call which returns a json string which consists of -

"{"d":[{"path":"/","e_type":"d ","text":"/"},

{"path":"//SQL","e_type":"d ","text":"//SQL"},

{"path":"//SQL/SourceClips","e_type":"d ","text":"//SQL/SourceClips"},

{"path":"//SQL/SourceClips/kjpDNxHD145_MC403.mov","e_type":"f ","text":"//SQL/SourceClips/kjpDNxHD145_MC403.mov"}]}"

 

I am trying to format this so there are 3 folders and one file inside the 3rd folder in the tree view. I want to use a loop so i can reuse this for any data I return.

Currently that is fine as far as printing each item on separate lines but i am trying to nest the last item into the third item.

 

Any help would be very appreciated.

Hello,

Assuming that the files should be nested in the directory with the longest matching path, you can use approach similar to the one demonstrated in this example to create the data.
