how toString() is used

[sirou]

hello everyone

I have a question about how toString() is used

var s = sys_email.sys_id;
var mm = s.subject.toString();
var reg = /\[[0-9]+\]/;
var result = (mm.match(reg) + "").match(/[0-9]+/)+ "";

Why can't this script extract the number from the email subject line?

@sirou Some times the string field returns the object, to make sure we get the string output we add toString().

Please mark as helpful based on impact.

If any other question regarding code please add full code with more info.

Hi @jaheerhattiwale 

I'm trying to put the "subject" in the description in inbound Email Actions.
The picture is the script I wrote.
However, this results in a value of "null"

Am I doing this wrong?

@sirou You dont need to do GlideRecord on email table.

email object itself is gliderecord object.

var s = email.subject.toString();

The above line should give you subject. dont query email table

Replace line 3,4,5,6,7 with above line

Please mark as correct answer if this solves your issue.
