I want to get userlocationcity by using indexof() function

[sainath reddy]

i'm using userlocationcity variable from location to get the city.after getting the location i have to use 'if' condition with the indexOf() function with the userlocationcity.indexOf("string").how to search the string by using indexOf() > 1 to match the given string in indexOf() string to the userlocation string

var userlocationcity = current.variables.requested_for.location.toString().toLowerCase();

if((userlocationcity == 'hyderabad')||(userlocation.indexOf('hyderabad')==-1)){

}

Basically "indexOf" is the Javascript String function it returns 

"-1" - when string is not found

Index - returns the index of string where it is available in the complete sentence

you can check as below method:

if(userlocationcity.indexOf(String) !=-1){ // it means its found

}

OR

if(userlocationcity.indexOf(String) >= 0 ){
}

Hello @sainath reddy ,

If you want to check if a specific string is present anywhere in the userlocationcity string, you should use indexOf() != -1. This condition will return true if the substring is found and false if it's not found. use script as below

// Assume userlocationcity contains the user's location city as a string
var userlocationcity = "Santa Rosa, CA USA";

// String to search for
var searchString = "Santa Rosa";

// Check if the searchString is present in userlocationcity using indexOf()
if (userlocationcity.indexOf(searchString) != -1) {
  // The searchString is found in userlocationcity
  gs.info("Search string found in user's location city.");
} else {
  // The searchString is not found in userlocationcity
  gs.info("Search string not found in user's location city.");
}

Kindly mark Correct and helpful if applicable

var userlocationcity = "Santa Rosa, CA USA";

cant we get the value dynamically and search in the indexOf() dynamically into the function

You can get Values dynamically like

var userlocationcity = (current.location.city).getDisplayValue() // this is just an example

if(userlocationcity.indexOf(String)!= -1){

}
