I have some data format that I want to parse, what type is this? I feel that this is not the typical array.

Is the link to the data file. I have tried a split command but then the top part all comes in. Any help would be much appreciated!

I’m wondering if someone could help me figure out a little issue I’m having. I’m trying to create an iOS shortcut to retrieve specific cell data from a Google Sheets document, and I’m really close, however, I’m hitting this snafu.
For my example, the data entered into the specific cell is: “0+ 5” (without the quotes).
I’m using the following URL to grab the data (with my string ID and API keys X’d out):
https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/XXXXXXXXXX/values/Sheet1!D#?key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Also, the # character after “Sheet1!D” is purposeful….I have shortcuts configured to replace that character with a number I input when running the shortcut)
Anyway, the result I’m getting is:
{"range":"Sheet1!D99","majorDimension":"ROWS","values":[["0+ 5"]]}
Notice the “0+ 5” near the end, which is the data entered in the specific cell.
I know I can mess around with Regex to to have the shortcut specifically match that part of the text, but I’m assuming there’s a way to format the API URL so that it only gives me the data entered — in this case, only
0+ 5
and not all of the other info….am I correct in that assumption? If so, I’d rather go that route and have the shortcut be a bit less convoluted.
Thanks!
Server's response is in JSON format, meaning, you can use action Get Dictionary From Input and next use action Get Dictionary Value. Type in values for the key.

Hope this helps.
I'm running into a search issue with my question. I'm trying to link an actual dictionary (e.g., words with definitions) to some code I'm writing in F#. Specifically, I'm using FsVerbalExpressions to identify whitespace-separated strings and would like to look each string up in an actual dictionary to determine if they're words or not.
The problem I'm having is that when I search on SO (or Google or anywhere else) for "link dictionary to F#" or "F# dictionary library" or some other permutation of "F#" and "dictionary," I get hits on how to use the dictionary collection in F#.
I'm hoping someone out there has some insight into how to link a dictionary, though this answer has given me some directions to alternatives if I can't find exactly what I'm trying to do.
Thanks for your help!
I have problem to extract extra information from my parsing.
I have my own data structure to parse, and that works fine. I wrote the parser for my data structure as Parse MyDataStructure which parse all the information about MyDataStructure.
The problem is that in the string I'm parsing, mixed with MyDataStructure, there is also some information about what should I do with MyDataStructure which is of course not part of MyDataStructure, i.e. I cannot store this information inside MyDataStructure.
Now the problem is that I don't know how to store this information, since in Haskell I cannot change some global variable to store information, and the return value of my parser is already MyDataStructure.
Is there a way I can somehow store this new information, without changing MyDataStructure, i.e. including field to store the extra information (but the extra information are not part of MyDataStructure so I would really like avoiding doing that)?
I hope I have been clear enough.
As #9000 says, you could use a tuple. If you find yourself needing to pass it through a number of functions, using the State Monad might make things easier.
In my app (for iPad) I want to use a large quanitity of data. It function in this way: if I select an argument in a row of a tableview I must show much text. The solution that I think to use for this app is a big file xml or more file xml to contain tis data. Is a correct way? or is there a best way to contain this data quantity of string? Where can I store this amount of data?
You could take a look to Proxy Design pattern.

Actually small xml, and big xml should work but make care that your code design is good.
could someone advise me on the most efficient way to gather data from one source, select a specific piece of data and insert it in a web page? Specifically, I wish to:
Call up this buoy data text file: http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/realtime2/46237.txt
Find the water temperature and insert that value in my web page.
First big question: What scripting language should I use? (I'm assuming Fortran is not an option :-)
Second not so big question: This same data set is available in graphic and xml format. Would either of these data formats be more useful than the .txt file?
Thanks in advance.
Use Perl.
(Hey, you asked. Normally one programs in whatever language one would normally use.)
The XML format won't be much more useful than the text format.
This text file format is just about as simple as it could ever get. Just about any scripting or general purpose programming language will work. The critical part is to split each line on a regex "\s+". i.e. in Python it would be:
import re
theFileObject = open('/path/to/downloaded/file.txt')
for line in theFileObject.readlines():
columns = re.split(r'\s+', line)
# each column is columns[0] through columns[19]
So basically choose whatever programming language seems easiest to you. Any .NET language would be equally capable, as well as ruby, python, scheme, etc. I personally have a distaste for perl because I find it very difficult to read
