I need to get the value of which track number the device is on in javascript. I found the example below and it works fine but I need to do the same inside javascript. I have tested a few ways but I can't figure out how to translate on my own. Please advise if you know:)

If you have the JavaScript device object it has an attribute "unquotedpath" which you can split to get the track number:

var parts = device.unquotedpath.split (' ');

var device = new LiveAPI ('live_set view selected_track view selected_device');

If you just have a device ID, you can do:

var parts = device.unquotedpath.split (' ');
var trackNo = Number (parts[2]);

Example to get the device:
var device = new LiveAPI ('live_set view selected_track view selected_device');

var api = new LiveAPI ();
api.id = Number (deviceID);
var parts = apiunquotedpath.split (' ');


Thank you for the advise but I still did not get it to work. How can I retrieve the deviceID?

var parts = api.unquotedpath.split (' ');

var api = new LiveAPI ('this_device');
var parts = api.unquotedpath.split (' ');
var trackNo = Number (parts[2]);


How did you figure out that "unquotedpath" was even an available attribute? If I could just find documentation on what methods/attributes are available via LiveAPI, I could use it!
