How to convert String to Array

[shaik_irfan]

Hi,

Currnetly i am getting an output as output = abcd, efgh, ijkl

which i want to convert as ["abcd","efgh", "ijkl"]

When doing GlideRecord queries, ALWAYS be sure to use getValue(). GlideRecord uses a pointer so your array could end up with the same (last) value all the way through.

// Bad
userDetails.push(grUser.first_name);

// Good
userDetails.push(grUser.getValue('first_name'));

Hello Irfan,

Chcek ou the script after changes suggested:

var userDetails = [];
var grUser = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
grUser.addActiveQuery();
grUser.setLimit(10);
grUser.query();
while(grUser.next()){

userDetails.push(grUser.getValue('first_name'));

}

gs.print("Array element:"+userDetails.toString());

Please mark as Correct Answer/Helpful, if applicable.
Thanks!

var inputStr = 'abcd,efgh,ijkl';
var outputStr = inputStr.split(',');

var strArr = [];

for(var i = 0; i < outputStr.length; i++) {
strArr.push('"' + outputStr[i] + '"');
}

strArr.join();
gs.info(inputStr);
gs.info(strArr);

*** Script: abcd,efgh,ijkl
*** Script: "abcd","efgh","ijkl"
