Question

I have a 2d array in the format

emi_309 | weak   | 16
emi_310 | strong | 9
emi_319 | medium | 8
emi_315 | weak   | 5

I want to check if a value greater that a certain number (e.g > 5) exists in the 3rd column using a simple function like the following:

  ($.inArray( conditions greater than 5 here, $.map(myArray, function(v) { return v[2]; })) > -1)

How do I include the condition (>5) in the above function?

Thanks a lot for your help

Answer 1

It is better to use $.grep in this case:

if ($.grep(myArray, function(v) { return v[2] > 5; }).length) {
    // values > 5 exist
}
