What is the question or problem?

i cant access  subcategories in structures

Sorry, still not enough for me.. Perhaps others will see through to your issue.

It would help to offer whatever code you have that does process this form, and show what you can and cannot successfully access.

You may be thinking,"well can't you do that yourself?", but consider that some of us see these on our mobile devices and so can't readily copy the code and work up an example.

More important, by your showing what you are or are not doing, or are or are not seeing as a result, even we who can't readily run some code may still be able to see what's amiss for you and make a suggestion.

Just trying to help.

... also, you forgot to attach the sample structure

The sample structure is attached

sorry here is the screen shot

Here is the code I got so far and it breaks on the fours array

<cfset obj =DeserializeJSON(result.FileContent)>
	


	<cfset myArrayObj = obj.categories>
	
	<ul>
		#ArrayLen(myArrayObj)#<br>
	<cfloop from="1" to="#ArrayLen(myArrayObj)#" index="i">
		#i#
			<li class="all-product-content-menu">
				<span class="nav-item-container all-products">
					<a id="tst_productMenu_#myArrayObj[i].id#" href="https://www.testequity.com#myArrayObj[i].path#" onclick="insite.nav.hideMenu();">#myArrayObj[i].name#</a>
					 <label style="display:block;line-height: 28px;" for="nav-#myArrayObj[i].id#" class="toggle-sub" onclick="insite.nav.goToSubnav(this)">&##9658;</label>
				</span>	
				
					<cfif ArrayLen(myArrayObj[i].subCategories)>
						b:#i#

Where is it breaking? What line of code? what's the error? It's really difficult for us to try to debug this just be looking at the code. It would be far more helpful if you could create a stand-alone example, where the code included the creation of that array and its elements. At least then we could try to run the code and might experience the error and be able to debug things.

And I see you have some commented out cfdump's, so clearly you have been trying. But since we don't see the output of the cfdump, we can't know where your problem may be. When you're trying to traverse such deeply nested structures, it is indeed easy to get lost along the way, with just one "wrong turn".

Even better would be for you to create that stand-alone example by running it at cffiddle.org. Then, you could give us a link to the code and we too could run it there. You may even find in putting that together that you discover your problem. People often do.

Or again, if someone else can "see through the fog" and spot your problem, all the more power (and credit) to them.

I get this error The element at position 4 of dimension 1,                  of array variable "OBJSUBCATEGORIES," cannot be found.

There are 10 references to that array (where you refer to an element within that array) which could be where this error is.

PLEASE, HELP US HELP YOU.

Which one gets the error? What line of code? And then tell us what line that is within the snippet you have given us.

Better yet, please consider ALL that I wrote in my last comment. You did not reply to it, other than to offer this one sentence.

it is error out on the 4 element of the main array

Thanks for the additional info, but a screen shot isn't going to be very useful in this case.  The structure is too complex, and I unfortunately don't have time to try and reproduce that whole string by hand...  

Could you post the sample JSON as text instead? Or better yet, create a runnable snippet like Charlie said: https://cffiddle.org/ or https://trycf.com/ .  That should give us enough info to run the code.  Then we can focus on fixing the error, instead of expending that time on set up code...

I suggest you that serialize this nested structures and arrays in streamlined flat structure, i had faced this issues tons of time and the best approach i did was created a function which will flatline everything for me using a period operator and i will use it directly until the values build are not very dynamic

let me know if you are willing to flatten its base and i will share the function. my function also has a support for null when doing a deserializejson or serialize

Thanks
