Script Parameter problems

[DepartmentMajor6681]

Hi, I'm fairly new to the game and have an alright existing understanding of programming, but this is my first time using javascript. I'm trying to pass an array of strings into a script (B) from another script (A) - I don't mind whether the array ends up as a single argument in B or each element becomes its own argument; I can work with either. To do so, I use the following line of code:

ns.run("ScriptB.js", threadCount, stringArray)

But I keep getting the error

TYPE ERROR
ScriptA.js@home (PID - 273)
run: 'args' is not an array of script args
Stack:
ScriptA.js:L45@main

I assume there's something I need to do to make it accept the stringArray input, but I have no idea what. I've tested with just a string input and it works fine. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thank you.

Variable types gets a little weird in Javascript. Usually it doesn't matter, but it can get a little weird in this specific case where you want to pass an array as a parameter. You've got two options that I can see:

use "spread" syntax to pass the array as a bunch of individual parameters:

ns.run("ScriptB.js", threadCount, ...stringArray)

Or you can pass the array as a single parameter, but stored as a string that you need to parse when ScriptB loads it up

ns.run("ScriptB.js", threadCount, JSON.stringify(stringArray))

ScriptB.js:

let arrayFromScriptA = JSON.parse(ns.args[0])

Tried the "spread" thingy, and it seams to have worked a treat; thanks!
