How to select an element from an array?

Well, a quick look showed that I wasn’t too far! device.supportedAttributes

22

But I didn’t answer entirely your question… it’s about extracting a map of attributes and their respective values

def dvAt = device.supportedAttributes

def dvAtCount = dvAt.count()

and maybe something like this:
def AtMp = [[dvAt[0] : 0], [dvAt[1]: 1], …]

  1. how do you count how many attributes were listed
  2. can you automate a map so it builds itself up upon this number of found attributes? That’d be great because it could just allow a smartapp to learn…

for memo, for the day I’m looking back to this awesome conversation when I need to build more maps and list attributes, I copy paste this:

def getGroupMaps(){
return settings.findAll(){it.key ==~ /g[0-9]+/}.sort{it.key}
}

I don’t knwo what /g[0-9]+/ means, though… and I guess that this is where lies the key (so to say…) to my last question…
