sorry, if it's easy but is there an "easy" way to get dict content ?

I am very new to dict and am very confused.

When you want to get a value deep in the tree, do we have to create a new dict for each step ?

In the example below I tried to retreive the second to last "beat_time" value, here :"8."

-dict-get-second-to-last

You can use double colons to joins keys together, to navigate a deeper hierarchy, e.g [get warp_markers::3::beat_time].

Also, I think asking a dict for "the second to last" item is meaningless, because the purpose of a dict is to allow lookup by key, not by position. If your keys are 1 2 3 and 4 (which have an implicit order), and you still need to use a dict for some reason, it would be better to calculate the key than replying on the order the item in the list are output.

I didnt know that here "3" was the name of the level to use. I tried wrap_market (3):: ...and other trials.

I need to only know the second wrap marker position of lot of audio clips in live in the same time and live outputs those markers in a dict. But I do not know how many markers each clip has and am only looking for the second to last whatever their number. I have to calculate the order to find the good key isn't it ?

Thank you Nick.
The syntax was not clear.

Anyway : Thank you!

I tried several syntax before posting but it was not clear that "3" was the name of the levelto use. I tried wrap_marker (3):: and others trials.

I need to know the position of the second to last wrap marker of several Live audio clip and live outputs those info with a dict. Only the second to last interests me whatever their number.. So I can only calculate the order to have the name of the good key isn't it ?

Well indeed, I had a look at the output for warp_markers and it is not a dictionary of dictionaries, but an array of dictionaries, so a message like "get warp_markers[2]::beat_time" should work for you. In order to determine the second to last item, you can use "getsize warp_markers".
