How to split using backslash (\)

[ramesh_r]

Hi All,

I want to split the string using a backslash (\)  and i need value after the backslash  (\)

but I am not getting proper output

Expected output  ==   "_DJ_Ima_KPI-Rap"

var group = "GROUP\_DJ_Ima_KPI-Rap";
var n = group.split("\");
gs.log(n[0]);
gs.log(n[1]);

The expected output is : 

GROUP
_DJ_Ima_KPI-Rap

Hi,

this should work

during testing you should escape the slash with 1 more slash character so that it is recognised

var group = "GROUP\\_DJ_Ima_KPI-Rap";

gs.info(group);

var n = group.split("\\");

gs.info(n.length);

gs.info(n[0]);
gs.info(n[1]);

Hi Ramesh,

it won't work with hard-coded value in background script since the string should recognize the slash character so in order for that to work you need to escape that character

"\" is used to escape characters. Is the group value a hard coded string like above? Or is it a variable?

If so you can use:

var n = group.split("\\")

If it is hard coded use this:

var group = "GROUP\\_DJ_Ima_KPI-Rap";
var n = group.split("\\");
gs.print(n[0]);
gs.print(n[1]);
