How to call array from my system property?

Tera Expert

Hi everyone,

I'm working with a system property that stores an array of string values, for example:

Property: list.of.strings
Values: "111 - TEST", "112 - Test2"

In my Script Include, I'm retrieving the property like this:

 

var titles = gs.getProperty('list.of.strings');

 

I’d like to use these values to query a table with GlideRecord and filter records based on them.

Has anyone done this before or knows the best way to parse and use these property values in a GlideRecord query?

Thanks!

Hello @saint ,

 

Just simply change little bit code like 

var titles =  gs.getProperty('list.of.strings');

var titlesArray = titles.replace(/^"|"$/g, '').split('","');

 

then try this 

var gr = new GlideRecord('<table>');

if (titlesArray.length > 0) {
    gr.addQuery('your_field', titlesArray[0]);

    for (var i = 1; i < titlesArray.length; i++) {
        gr.addOrCondition('your_field', titlesArray[i]);
    }
}

gr.query();

Hi @saint ,

 

Try below script 

 

var propValue = gs.getProperty('list.of.strings', '');
var spl = propValue.split(',');

for (var i = 0; i < spl.length; i++) {
var gr = new GlideRecord('your_table_name');
gr.addQuery('your_field_name', spl[i].trim());
gr.query();

while (gr.next()) {
gs.info(gr.getDisplayValue('your_field_name'));
}
}

@saint 

you are already storing it as string with comma separated values

simply use this

gr.addEncodedQuery('nameIN' + gs.getProperty('list.of.strings'));
