Usually you only need to use ExpressionScript.

But what exactly do you want to achieve?

I am trying to get value into javascript.
Currently, I am using lime expression to get a single value using
var fnam = "{questioncode_01_fname.shown}";
var age = "{questioncode_01_age.shown}";

like this, we have a total of 10 groups with 5 columns
so i have one textbox where i can get value how many person with me.

in text box we have value like 5.
total 5-time users fill in the details.

i want to get dynamically get values in js.
i.g we have 5 person

for (i=1; i<=5, i++){

fnam[] = "{questioncode_0"+i+"_fname.shown}";
age[] = "{questioncode_0"+i+"_age.shown}";

above value stored into array
}

is that possible in lime?

Expression manager is parsed on page load so you cannot adjust variable names dynamically.

You will need to declare the JS vars explicitly on page load.

Code:

var aFname = [
  "{questioncode_01_fname}", 
  "{questioncode_02_fname}", 
  "{questioncode_03_fname}", 
  "{questioncode_04_fname}", 
  "{questioncode_05_fname}"
]
 
var aAge = [
  "{questioncode_01_age}", 
  "{questioncode_02_age}", 
  "{questioncode_03_age}", 
  "{questioncode_04_age}", 
  "{questioncode_05_age}"
]

...or...

Code:

var oAnswers = {
  1: {'fname': "{questioncode_01_fname}", 'age': "{questioncode_01_age}"},
  2: {'fname': "{questioncode_02_fname}", 'age': "{questioncode_02_age}"},
  3: {'fname': "{questioncode_03_fname}", 'age': "{questioncode_03_age}"},
  4: {'fname': "{questioncode_04_fname}", 'age': "{questioncode_04_age}"},
  5: {'fname': "{questioncode_05_fname}", 'age': "{questioncode_05_age}"}
}

Thank you so much tpartner.

var oAnswers = {
1: {'fname': "{questioncode_01_fname}", 'age': "{questioncode_01_age}"},
2: {'fname': "{questioncode_02_fname}", 'age': "{questioncode_02_age}"},
3: {'fname': "{questioncode_03_fname}", 'age': "{questioncode_03_age}"},
4: {'fname': "{questioncode_04_fname}", 'age': "{questioncode_04_age}"},
5: {'fname': "{questioncode_05_fname}", 'age': "{questioncode_05_age}"}
}

I tried the above option but while adding the Question code into an object that will not working in lime survey source due to lime expression.
lime giving "em" undefine variable error on the screen.

For now, i have to create all fields variables that will be placed/added into an object that works fine but it's a very long method to get all row details.
i.g :
var fnam_01 = "{questioncode_01_fname.shown}";
var fnam_02 = "{questioncode_02_fname.shown}";
var fnam_03 = "{questioncode_03_fname.shown}";
var fnam_04 = "{questioncode_04_fname.shown}";
var fnam_05 = "{questioncode_05_fname.shown}";

var age_01 = "{questioncode_01_age}";
var age_02 = "{questioncode_02_age}";
var age_03 = "{questioncode_03_age}";
var age_04 = "{questioncode_04_age}";
var age_05 = "{questioncode_05_age}";

var oAnswers = {
1: {'fname': fnam_01, 'age': age_01 },
2: {'fname': fnam_02, 'age': age_02 },
3: {'fname': fnam_03, 'age': age_03 },
4: {'fname':fnam_04, 'age': age_04 },
5: {'fname':fnam_05, 'age': age_05}
}

//get your full data by index or for loop
Console.debug(oAnswers[1]);

Sorry, I was working from my phone. To avoid ExpressionScript errors, you need to insert a space or line-break after all opening curly braces and before closing braces that are not used by ExpressionScript.

Code:

var oAnswers = {
  1: { 'fname': "{questioncode_01_fname}", 'age': "{questioncode_01_age}" },
  2: { 'fname': "{questioncode_02_fname}", 'age': "{questioncode_02_age}" },
  3: { 'fname': "{questioncode_03_fname}", 'age': "{questioncode_03_age}" },
  4: { 'fname': "{questioncode_04_fname}", 'age': "{questioncode_04_age}" },
  5: { 'fname': "{questioncode_05_fname}", 'age': "{questioncode_05_age}" }
}

Or:

Code:

var oAnswers = {
  1:  { 
      'fname': "{questioncode_01_fname}", 
      'age': "{questioncode_01_age}" 
    },
  2:  { 
      'fname': "{questioncode_02_fname}", 
      'age': "{questioncode_02_age}" 
    },
  3:  { 
      'fname': "{questioncode_03_fname}", 
      'age': "{questioncode_03_age}" 
    },
  4:  { 
      'fname': "{questioncode_04_fname}", 
      'age': "{questioncode_04_age}" 
    },
  5:  { 
      'fname': "{questioncode_05_fname}", 
      'age': "{questioncode_05_age}" 
    }
}
