How to separate country code and number with a space from a phone number

[Koyel Guha]

There is a requirement to separate a phone number and country code with a space. We have a customized table where we have different country codes with different digits and different phone number digits.

There is a sample code for specific country code and phone number length. Can you suggest how it will work for all the country codes and phone n umber length.

var phoneNumber = '+41794XXXXXXX';

var countryCodeLength = phoneNumber.length - 10;

var components = {

    IDDCC: phoneNumber.substr(0, countryCodeLength),

    NN: phoneNumber.substr(countryCodeLength, phoneNumber.length)

};

    gs.print(JSON.stringify(components));

Please suggest.

Thanks.

To make it dynamic for all country codes and phone number lengths in ServiceNow, you need a way to determine the country code length. Use a predefined list of country code lengths or detect patterns dynamically if possible.

Solution:

var phoneNumber = '+41794XXXXXXX';
var countryCodeLength = detectCountryCodeLength(phoneNumber); 

var components = {
    IDDCC: phoneNumber.substr(0, countryCodeLength),
    NN: phoneNumber.substr(countryCodeLength)
};

gs.print(JSON.stringify(components));

function detectCountryCodeLength(phoneNumber) {
    var countryCodeRegex = /^\+\d{1,4}/;
    var match = phoneNumber.match(countryCodeRegex);
    return match ? match[0].length : 0; 
}

Uses regex to detect country code dynamically.

Supports varying country code and phone number lengths without hardcoding.

Returns separated IDDCC(country code) and NN(national number).

Hey @Koyel Guha 

Use the following function to saparate county code from number:

function separateCountryCodeAndNumber(phoneNumber) {

// Match the country code and phone number (assuming the country code is 1-4 digits long)

const regex = /^(\+\d{1,4})(\d{7,15})$/;

// Apply the regex to the input phone number

const match = phoneNumber.match(regex);

if (match) {

// Return the formatted string with a space between the country code and the number

return match[1] + ' ' + match[2];

} else {

return "Invalid phone number format.";

}

separateCountryCodeAndNumber("+123456789012");

O/p: +12 3456789012

Hi Nilesh,

You have specified the regex to 4 digits. There are other country codes length, how it will identify which part is the country code and which part is the phone number length. I have tried the code in background script, the code is not getting executed. Can you please help on this.

@Koyel Guha 

what all country codes are there?

try this

var phoneNumber = '+41794XXXXXXX';

// Regular expression to match the country code and phone number
var regex = /^(\+\d{1,4})(\d{6,15})$/;
var match = phoneNumber.match(regex);

if (match) {
    var components = {
        IDDCC: match[1], // Country code
        NN: match[2]     // Phone number
    };
    gs.print(JSON.stringify(components));
} else {
    gs.print('Invalid phone number format');
}
