Hi all,

I've put together a fairly simple razor script where I'm building up a string and attempting to output the result to the page but I'm getting an error that I'm missing a } and for the life of me I can't see what's wrong. Could anyone assist please?

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage

@{
        var folderNode = Umbraco.TypedContent(1068);
        var playList = "";
        var counter = 0;
        foreach(var node in folderNode.Children)
        {
            playList = "'" + @node.Name + "':[";
            foreach(var song in node.Children)
            {
                playList = playList + counter.ToString() + ",";
                counter++;
            }

            playList += "],";
        }
        @Html.Raw(playList);
}

Thanks, C

Hi Craig,

I think the error about a missing } is possibly a bit misleading.

The first thing that jumped out to me was this line here:
```
playList = "'" + @node.Name + "':[";
```
I'm pretty sure you don't need the @ before node.Name

Try removing that and see if it decides to behave for you.

Cheers

Nik

Hi Craig,

Nik is correct.. below are your updated code.

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage

var folderNode = Umbraco.TypedContent(1068);
var playList = "";
var counter = 0;
foreach (var node in folderNode.Children)
{
    playList = "'" + node.Name + "':[";
    foreach (var song in node.Children)
    {
        playList = playList + counter.ToString() + ",";
        counter++;
    }

    playList += "],";

}

@Html.Raw(playList);

}
