Having problem getting Websocket Available Funds Data with colon

[Roger]

Hello, I am having trouble getting from websocket  -- balancesUpdate --  the AvailableFunds:USD value.  The colon is creating an error in my javascript code.

I can access other websocket data that does not have that colon. I have tried many code variations, with no luck.

Examples:

This works:  addmessages(json.result.accountKey)   no colon

This does not work: addmessages(json.result.AvailableFunds:USD)    the colon causes an error

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Roger

the error is with the parser.  What broker is this with?

[Roger]

Broker is IB.

if you change it from : to ~ does the parsing work? Want to know before I make a change

[Roger]

Mr. Medved,

I tried 

addmebal (json.result.AvailableFunds~USD);

 

Still will not work.

 

Thanks.

you changed the text being  parsed to ~ as well, right? basically, need to use some unique separator that will be OK

 

[Roger]

Both give error in Visual Studio Code and the code will not run.

addmebal (json.result.AvailableFunds~USD)

addmessages (json.result.AvailableFunds:USD)

    The underscore  _  does not give error in Visual Studio Code, so may work.

addmessages (json.result.AvailableFunds_USD)

Thanks.

we use Newtonsoft.Json which does not have a problem since it does not convert to C# variables, but will make it so : is converted to _ for balances as well as conversions we already do. will send you an update.

Thanks for you assistance.
