… and I’m very grateful to you for that. I learn from your messages every time. I think it’s great that there are people like you. that also costs time (apart from health, the most important thing in life). Thanks again for that!

thanks, but now i’m a little bit confused, because my master problem will be, to reorg the array, to combine people with the same date of birth in as list in one row with the day of birth. but let me try …

@sdetweil said in read csv-data and put it in an array:

ok, went to numbers, SO much easier!!

ok, i will try. therefor my array don’t match, i think … that’s right ?

i didn’t post the code, because it only was a status-info …
but here is the code. i think i will first try alone. if there any questions i will post them.
here is my array:

[{"birth":"12.09.1967", "name":"Otto Billing"},{...}]

many thanks in advance

status:
i wanted to “play” with the jsonArray, but things like jsonArray[“birth”][0] or jsonArray.birth[3] will not be accepted, although it is listed in many websites … i try and try and read and read, but in the moment no solution. the parameter “length” count the number of letters and numbers ?
then I will have to deal with moment () first …

@sdetweil said in read csv-data and put it in an array:

the names of the object elements are the names of the columns (row 1 in the csv)

yes i know.
i thought it’s an dictionairy and not an array. but it’s ok …

ok, now i have a dictionary (is that called though?) - always 4 columns (i will change that, if i read how to put it all in an array. in the moment i just have the output via console …)

[{"Geburtsmonat":"Januar","Geburtstag":"3","Geburtsjahr":"1940","Name":"Renate Stögger"},{...},{...}]

but i’m on the right way, thanks again :-)

uff, now first i have to read some papers for understanding that stuff …
in the moment i only can see the output of the json-object via terminal. i don’t have them saved in an array or string. i wanted to use a async-method (by await), but it seems that this is the wrong way (error-messages) …
i think to put the data first in an array couldn’t be wrong so far ?

 {
    Geburtsmonat: 'März',
    Geburtstag: '7',
    Geburtsjahr: '1972',
    Name: 'Julia Ützglütz'
  },
{
...
}

could it ?

ok, now i can see the output of my csvtojson object. now the question about handle this all:
is it better (csv-file) to call the rows ‘month of birth’, ‘birthday’, ‘year of birth’, ‘name’
=> mai,23,1964,stan smith
or ‘birth’,name
=> 05.23.1964,stan smith

how said:
i want to display the birthdays of the current month, then the name and the age. if people should have birthday at the same day, they should listed, in which the daynumber only displayed once (=> two cells).
what should happen, if the day of birth is over, i don’t know yet. there will be two options, i think, between the user can choose:

1. delete the names on the list (with daynumber)
2. dimm these entries.
   finally it should display like this:
   

ok, that’s fine
