Hi everyone! I tried to search, but didn’t find the answer. I added “Inject js” to my activitie and my js code makes array as output, but Ui changes it to string. How I can get array? Thank you in advance! ---

Hi @Akobir, According to Inject JS Script activity documentation, it is only possible to return String. > **[Inject JS Script](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/docs/inject-js-script)** > > UiPath.Core.Activities.InjectJsScript Executes JavaScript code in the context of the web page corresponding to a UiElement. Properties Input ScriptCode - The JavaScript code you want to run. You can write it here as a string, or add the full path of... But, you can try a workaround… Instead of returning your array, try this: `return JSON.stringfy(yourArrayVariable)` Then, you just need to Deserialize it: > **[Deserialize Json Array](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/docs/deserialize-json-array)** > > UiPath.WebAPI.Activities.DeserializeJsonArray Deserializes a JSON array string to a JArray object.

Properties Common DisplayName - The display name of the activity. Input JsonString - The string containing the JSON to be deserialized. The JSON should be written...

Thank you very much! And else one question - how I can get a value from deserialize array? For example, I have array with 2 columns [ “result1, result2” ] Can I get “result2” to messagebox? ---

Hello @Akobir, You’re welcome 🙂 Yes, it is totally possible. You can use Split, considering that you have an array of String where each item is separeted by comma. Check the updated solution if necessary [InjectJsScriptReturningArray.zip](https://forum.uipath.com/uploads/short-url/rTjYt38ie9Tufxi8DbJBRbyI4ai.zip) (3.3 KB) If you need extra help, let me know ---
