I have something problems about this.

You can do this by split string to each value values = string.split("."); object[values[0]][values[1]][values[2]][values[3]][values[4]] Example: object = {value1: {value2: "123"}}; string = "value1.value2"; values = string.split("."); object[values[0]][values[1]] //return "123"
