Populating a String field with another string field but with some restriction

[Lavanya Nagendr]

Hi All,

I have a requirement where i need to get the "Descripion" field and auto populate another field lets say."Description 1" but without any numbers.

For example:

if Description ----is--> General Requirement 1.1

then Description 1 ---should be---> General Requirement

Note: The content on the Description may vary and the numbers like(1.1 or 1.04) will always be at the end.

Hi @Lavanya Nagendr 

You can use replace function

var description = "Servicenow 123 hello world 232 g 4";

description = description.replace(/[0-9]/g, '');   //replace with empty string

var description_1 = description;

 gs.info(description_1);

Output :

for replacing any other characters you need to update regex.

Hi @Vishal Birajdar ,

Its working but the result i got for 

var description = "General Requirement 1.1";
description = description.replace(/[0-9]/g, '');
 description 1= description;

General Requirement 1.1

Output: 

General Requirement .

Hi @Lavanya Nagendr 

You can put like below

var description = "General Requirement 1.1  @%";

description = description.replace(/[0-9.]/g, '');

var description_1= description;

Regex explaination :

0-9 - check numbers

.      - check dot(.)

/g  - search entire string

You can use /[0-9.@#$%^]/g if you have special characters as well

Output :

It worked!
