get cell value from selected row

Looking for a simple example of how to get a cell value from a selected row.

The code below gets me all of the data in the row. How could I modify this to return only the value in column 4 in the selected row?

        table
            .on('select', function (e, dt, type, indexes) {
                var data = table.row(0).data();
                events.prepend(JSON.stringify(data));
            })

As you say, data contains all the data in the row. So you just need to pull out the cell's value that you want.

I am a CPA by profession and not a developer so if you could elaborate on that idea that would help me out! How can I best accomplish this? Thank you!

Assuming your data is an array of data use data[3] (zero based indexing).
