How to remove the whitespace business rule

[Mrman]

Hi ,

I have created a business rule to replace a line in the Description field with empty space . 

It is working and that line is replaced with blank space . Now I want to remove this white space and move Up the line below it .

Please guide how to achieve it .

I tried the code you provided to remove the empty line in the description . 

It is not working and the empty line still remains.

I added the logs in BR and below are screenshots . 

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) {

    var description = current.description.toString();



    if (description.includes('Legal Entity Code: LE-')) {

        var grdesc = new GlideRecord('sn_hr_core_case');
        grdesc.addEncodedQuery('active=true^descriptionLIKELegal Entity Code: LE-');
        grdesc.addQuery('sys_id', current.sys_id);
        grdesc.orderByDesc('sys_created_on');
        grdesc.setLimit(1);
        grdesc.query();

        if (grdesc.next()) {

            var finalArr = [];
            var value = description.replace(/Legal Entity Code: LE-[A-Z]+[\d]{3}/g, '');
            var arr = value.toString().split('\r\n');
			gs.info('the refined arr is :' + arr);
            for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
                if (arr[i].trim() != '') {
                    finalArr.push(arr[i].toString());
                }
            }
			gs.info('my final array is :' +finalArr);
            grdesc.description = finalArr.toString();
            grdesc.update();
        }

        //current.variables.u_legal_entity_code = ''


    }


})(current, previous);

Hi,

update as this

if (grdesc.next()) {

            var finalArr = [];
            var value = description.replace(/Legal Entity Code: LE-[A-Z]+[\d]{3}/g, '');
            var arr = value.toString().split('\r\n');
            gs.info('the refined arr is :' + arr);
            for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
                if (arr[i].trim() != '') {
                    finalArr.push(arr[i].toString());
                }
            }
            gs.info('my final array is :' +finalArr);
            var str = finalArr.join(',').replace(/\n/g, "");
            grdesc.description = str;
            grdesc.update();
        }

Regards

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar 

This joining all the variables in the description field and not showing in new line.

This creates confusion for HR agents when there are many record producer variables . 

please let me know if there is a way to show in new lines and remove that White space .

In below image it removed empty space and joined two variables.

Update as this and it should work

if (grdesc.next()) {

var finalArr = [];
var value = description.replace(/Legal Entity Code: LE-[A-Z]+[\d]{3}/g, '');
var arr = value.toString().split('\r\n');
gs.info('the refined arr is :' + arr);
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
if (arr[i].trim() != '') {
finalArr.push(arr[i].toString());
}
}

var arr = desc.replace(/(\r\n|\n|\r)/gm, "@").replaceAll('@',',').split(',');
var finalArr1 = [];
for(var i in arr){
if(arr[i] != ''){
finalArr1.push(arr[i].toString());
}
}

grdesc.description = finalArr1.join('\n');
grdesc.update();
}

        grdesc.addEncodedQuery('active=true^descriptionLIKELegal Entity Code: LE-');
        grdesc.addQuery('sys_id', current.sys_id);
