Comparing two strings in <j2:if>

[uma17]

Hi All,

I have no idea about <j2:if > tags and their syntax

I want to compare

$[gs.getUserDisplayName()]

$[sc_request.opened_by.name]

<j2:if test="$[sc_request.opened_by.name] == $[gs.getUserName()]">

//Do Something

</j2:if>

How do I compare these two strings, can any one help me?

Thanks

Uma

Hi uma,

There is a mistake in your code. gs.getUserName() returns you the user ID of the current user and not the name of the current user. You should either use -

1) sc_request.opened_by.name == gs.getUserDisplayName();

2) sc_request.opened_by.user_name == gs.getUserName();

I agree with kumaran. Below is the script you can use

<g2:evaluate var="jvar_answer" jelly="true">

var answer = 'false';

var sc_request = new GlideRecord('sc_request');

.

.

sc_request.query();

if(sc_request.next()) {

        if(sc_request.opened_by.name == gs.getUserDisplayName()) {   //sc_request should be GlideRecord Object as shown

                                                                                                                                                                          //Also you can use "sc_request.opened_by == gs.getUserID()"

                  answer = 'true';

        }

}

answer;

</g2:evaluate>

<j2:if test="$[jvar_answer == 'true']">

        //Do what you want to do here

</j2:if>

Please mark the response helpful/correct if it helped you.
