Get value from object in node js

Question

let script_type = {'vpl_run.sh':0,'vpl_debug.sh':1,'vpl_evaluate.sh':2,'vpl_evaluate.cases':2};
let list = ['vpl_run.sh','vpl_debug.sh', 'vpl_evaluate.sh', 'vpl_evaluate.cases'];
for (let i = 0, len = list.length; i < len; i++) {
    let fileName = list[i];
    console.log(script_type.fileName);
}

Always getting undefined in console log

Note : variable fileName has value as "vpl_run.sh" with dot (.) what exactly I need is

Just do script_type[fileName]

You are accessing your dictionary data as if it was a list.

Instead of console.log(script_type.fileName);, do:

console.log(script_type[fileName]);.

This is trivial in JS.

Just do script_type[fileName] and you have it.
