String constants are only created during BrightScript compilation, e.g. from string literals. There isn't any way to make an roString non-mutable. In the example of your custom XML parser, if your goal is to avoid copying string data, seems like you might want to make your own string pool object to ...

Done, thanks for the report.

[*]Does ReadAsciiFile only support ascii characters, and if so, is there another method to read in utf-8 characters? My json files do contain some special, non-ascii characters.

Despite the name, ReadAsciiFile works implicitly with UTF-8 encoded files.

Thanks for the documentation feedback.

A note has been added to the FormatJSON documentation to indicate that it is not supported on the 3.1 firmware.

Answer from RokuCo, please?
Will getChildNotes() be coming to fw 3?

roXMLElement.GetChildNodes() is only supported for devices running modern firmware.

This has been noted on the documentation.

It's also worth noting that FormatJSON isn't a supported function. If you use it in the wrong place, it could hang or crash the box.

ParseJSON and FormatJSON are supported functions for devices running modern firmware.

Bug reports are always welcome.

I want to delete a array from json.In this example , I want to delete first item whose groupName="Ungrouped". } Assuming the Ungrouped item is not necessarily the first: j = ParseJSON(jsonStr) for i = 0 to j.destinationContent.Count() - 1 item = j.destinationContent[ i ] if item.groupName...

@RokuKC - do you mean that ifParagraphScreen. AddGraphic(url as String) method should not be used? (that's the version without displayMode param, it has existed first) Sorry, I was more focused on the bit about what happens when a unrecognized display mode is passed to AddGraphic explicitly. :) Add...

My question is what is the default display mode that is used by AddGraphic , i.e. with no param or invalid displayMode? It is not "scale-to-fill", contrary to what doc says. Rather, for the image i have it seems to show it 1:1 (no scale) but chomps about 1/3 from top and 1/3 from bottom. ...

... Because a component may implement 2 interfaces with overlapping method names (as the case is here - roXmlList implements both ifList and ifArray and both have .count()s ) - there should always be a way to "explicitate" which of the two methods i want, shouldn't it?! There shouldn't be...

... I was asking about ifGetMessagePort/ifSetMessagePort of roCaptionRenderer - why they were not returned by getInterface . And then someone apparently decided "solution" to that was to just delete ifGetMessagePort/ifSetMessagePort from the page. ... That is correct. roCaptionRenderer do...

Hm, yeah - .count() is a method of both ifList and ifArray, good catch. But check this out - seems when you use count() on roXmlList, it's neither ifList's nor ifArray's: BrightScript Debugger> ? rXL.count() 1 BrightScript Debugger> ? rXL.ifList.count() 0 BrightScript Debugger> ? rXL.ifArray.count(...

First I remembered of another warning , which too is pretty useless without context. Oh, the extra effort it took me to track down. I did guess then line# might not be easily avail but did suggest another piece of info that is on hand. Yes, I've hit this too, and agree that the invalid paths messag...

Yes, I agree that having even minimal source context will make non-fatal error messages from script runs much more useful.

It's on the backlog, but not as easy as you might think.

Hi lbell, In categoriesfeed.xml, it looks like there are elements like: <categoryLeaf title="Video sermon categoryleaf 1" description="" feed="http://www.map2life.com/roku/xml/videosermonfeed.xml"/> ParseCategoryNode is being passed that element via recursive calls and ...
