[Chiranjeevi K]

We have a integation from one servicenow instance orchestration as middle ware, and built an functionality with BR as such when incident is created in INSTANCE1 the description of the incident should be pass over to the incident will be creating in INSTANCE 2

REGEX expression using:

 var Description;

  var Description_temp;

    var SsnTaxID = /(([^+]\d{2}[-. ]\d{7}(?!\d\d))|(\d{3}[-. ]\d{2}[-. ]\d{4})|(\D\d{9}\D))/g;

    var charsAllowed = /[^a-zA-Z0-9.,?\|\^<>:;'!@#$%&*()"\/+=\-_`~{}\[\]\\\n ]/g;

    Description_temp = current.description.toString().replace(SsnTaxID, "removed SSN/TAX ID");

    Description = Description_temp.toString().replace(charsAllowed, "");

Hello @Chiranjeevi K, Although I'm not sure, I'm assuming that you are trying to replace a sensitive information with a fixed string - 'removed SSN/TAX ID', if so, then this output should be fine .

But, if you'd like to print only that sensitive information and remove other string then you can try to match than replace as below:

 var Description, tmp1;
var Description_temp;
var SsnTaxID = /(([^+]\d{2}[-. ]\d{7}(?!\d\d))|(\d{3}[-. ]\d{2}[-. ]\d{4})|(\D\d{9}\D))/g;
var charsAllowed = /[^a-zA-Z0-9.,?\|\^<>:;'!@#$%&*()"\/+=\-_`~{}\[\]\\\n ]/g;
Description_temp = current.description.toString().match(SsnTaxID) || [];
tmp1 = Description_temp.toString().match(charsAllowed) || [];
Description = Description_temp.concat(tmp1).join("");
