Subkeys in Value

[Ranjeet Kuruvilla]

Hello
I would like to be able to pass keys in the form of
"Key.Subkey.Subsubkey"
to create an entry in the form of

Key: {
Subkey: {
Subsubkey:
}
}

Is there a way to do that? Of course the delimiter between "Key" and
"Subkey" need not to be '.'
Regards

You can write a small function which traverses the hierarchy, calling isMember() followed by get() at each level.

It's not a useful method to add because there are too many potential variations.

• what delimiter?
• what to do when not found?
• what if intermediate value not found?
• should it distinguish between intermediate arrays and dictionaries?
