Index of Not working

[sushma9]

Hi All,

I am using Index of  with string and its not working. Please find the sample script below. when i tested i am only getting the If validation and else if is not working. please let  me know if any changes has to done.

Note : filed name is same for all the conditions.

script :

 if (field name.indexOf("x")<1){

here i am triggering one event 

} else if (filed name.indexOf("y")<1 || filed name.indexOf("z")<1){

here i am triggering another event 

} else if ( filed name.indexOff("x")<1 && filed name.indexOf("y")<1 || filed name.indexOf("z")<1){

here i am triggering another event  ;

}else{

here i am triggering another event  ;

}

Hi @sushma9 ,

Seems like confusion in logic.
Try below code if it serves your purpose.

if (fieldname.indexOf("x") === -1) {
    // here i am triggering one event 
} else if (fieldname.indexOf("y") === -1 || fieldname.indexOf("z") === -1) {
    // here i am triggering another event 
} else if (fieldname.indexOf("x") === -1 && (fieldname.indexOf("y") === -1 || fieldname.indexOf("z") === -1)) {
    // here i am triggering another event
} else {
    // here i am triggering another event
}

Let me know if you are looking for something else.

Try with this:

var gr= new GlideRecord("table");
gr.addQuery('u_request_item ', current.parent);
gr.query();
if (gr.next()) {
    if (gr.field_name.getDisplayValue().indexOf('x')< 1) {
        gs.eventQueue("test.Notification", current, "", "");
        
    } else if (gr.field_name.getDisplayValue().indexOf('y') < 1 || gr.field_name.getDisplayValue().indexOf('z')< 1) {
        gs.eventQueue("test1.Notification", current, "", "");
        
    } else if (gr.field_name.getDisplayValue().indexOf('x') < 1 && gr.field_name.getDisplayValue().indexOf('y') < 1 || gr.field_name.getDisplayValue().indexOf('z') < 1) {
        gs.eventQueue("test2.Notification", current, "", "");
        
    } else {
        gs.eventQueue("test3.Other.Notification", current, "", "");
        
    }
}

Can you please confirm of your desired result? What you expect, as the script is correct in syntax part buy there is ambiguity in logic part. Your if-else conditions seem to be overlapping which might not provide the desired result.

indexOf returns -1 when the string is not found, so your logic to check <1 will not work if the string you look for is the first character, they this

Also what is field name??

//what is field name?  

if (field name.indexOf("x")<0){
//here i am triggering one event 
} else if (field name.indexOf("y")<0 || field name.indexOf("z")<0){
//here i am triggering another event 
} else if ( field name.indexOf("x")<0 && field name.indexOf("y")<0 || field name.indexOf("z")<0){  //this will never run as it will go in one of the first 2 if 
//here i am triggering another event  ;
}else{
//here i am triggering another event  ;
}
