Fetch URL param values from a string

[NehaA3677346693]

I have a urlstring as below. I want to fetch sysparm_query value from below in background script but I am facing issue.

var urlString = 'https://buildtoolsdev5.service-now.com/rm_story_list.do?sysparm_query=epic.numberINEPIC1099615%2CEPI...';

I have tried below but didn't work-

1.

var url = new GlideURL(urlString);

var value = new URLSearchParams(url).get('sysparm_query');

gs.info(value);

2.

var parmVal = url.getParameter('sysparm_query');

@NehaA3677346693  - I believe GlideURL works only on client side scripts. For me it worked on client script and not in the background scripts

See below:

Hi @NehaA3677346693 , 

On any form or screen, press ctrl + shift+ j. This will open java script executor. there you can paste your code and run it. Replace gs.info with alert to print anything. 

The GlideURL API is client side and only can be use in client script, ui policy or client side code for UI Action.

It can be utilized in server side before not in background script.

Please mark this correct or helpful if it works for you.

@Mehta Thanks for your response. I am looking for a solution to run in background script as after fetching the values from url I need to perform some insert operations as well.
