B4J Question Getting a value returns a Null

[MathiasM]

Hello

I'm tearing my hair out over here, a Map object contains a bunch of strings, I try to get a value by a key. But the value is always null.
I have screenshots of my debug process:

The Map, containing the string "B1A"

The value I'm passing to the Get on that Map is B1A

The result is Null

To be complete, this is the code:

Anyone has a idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for any help.

Maybe there are one or may spaces at the end of the key value (or non-printable characters).

Get the map keys using .GetKeyAt, and have a very close look at the length and character numbers/codes of the "B1A" entry.

Also, B1A is a valid hex number, and unexpected interpretation/casting of numbers has sometimes tripped me up.

What do you get if you try:

For Each Key As String In Map.Keys
  Log(Key)
  Dim Value As Object = Map.Get(Key)
Next

What is the output of?

For Each Key As String In Map.Keys
  Log(Key & ", " & Key.Length)
Next

Thanks for the help people. I found the issue.
As seen in my second image, the value is "B1A", not B1A. So including the " " signs.

Very stupid of me, I assumed the "" sign was the IDE's way of showing it was a string value. Thanks for guidance!

What is the output of?

For Each Key As String In Map.Keys
  Log(Key & ", " & Key.Length)
Next

It showed 5 instead of 3. Which was the point I understand the problem (way too long after hitting the problem). Thanks!
