Need help with removing an undefined

[surya123]

Hi All

This is the script i am using. It gives a undefined at the beginning of the additional comments. Is there a way i can just remove the 1st word?

var comments= current.comments.getJournalEntry(-1);

var com=[];

var na = comments.split("\n\n");       //stores each entry into an array of strings

for (var i = 0; i < na.length; i++) {

com+= na[i] + "<br>";                

}

It shows all correct but start with a undefined at beggining. can i do something to chop off that undefined?

Hi Sushant,

I have written a BR on update on a table when additional comments changes, it should copy all the additional comments and send it to another field.

Same script works for worknotes but not additional comments.

I would like all the additional comments entered in new line. I need this so i can send it to 3rd party system and they have 1 field for it. So whenver any update i need to copy all the prev comments also and send. But i see an undefined infront.

var comments= current.comments.getJournalEntry(-1);

var com=[];

var na = comments.split("\n\n");       //stores each entry into an array of strings

for (var i = 0; i < na.length; i++) {

com+= na[i] + "<br>";              

}

gs.addInfoMessage(com);

Pleas help me in getting that removed.

I feel better way can be querying directly on the sys_journal_field table:

try replacing your code with following; this will print you every comment.

you can also add time stamp while printing and who added that timestamp ; this will give you more control to play around and one simple query will do your job

----------------

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_journal_field');

gr.addQuery('element','comments');

gr.addQuery('element_id',current.sys_id);

gr.query();

while(gr.next()){

gs.addInfoMessage(gr.value);

}

----------------------------------------

every entry can be added to your field as a appended value

This is going as new entry for everytym additional comment is added. I wanted all to show in a one infomessage separated by line breaks.
