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

It will not accept "GROUP\_DJ_Ima_KPI-Rap" as a hardcoded string. If you retrieve it dynamically you can use:

Where groupname_field is for example a name field.

group = decodeURIComponent(groupname_field);
var n = group.indexOf("_");
gs.info(group.substr(0, n));
gs.info(group.substr(n));

Or if you want to hard code it, do it like this:

group = decodeURIComponent("GROUP\_DJ_Ima_KPI-Rap");
var n = group.indexOf("_");
gs.info(group.substr(0, n));
gs.info(group.substr(n));

Hello Ramesh,

Try this,

var str = 'first\\last';//returns 'first\last'
var arr = str.split('\\');
gs.log(arr[1]);//returns last
