Regex for Server Folder/Path Client Script

[Piyush27]

Hi,

I am trying to write an onChange logic on 2 fields---- the requirement is

Target (server with share): Single Line Text

Field Validation Checks on:

- must start with \\

- read out the FQDN --> between \\ and the next \

- FQDN exists in ServiceNow in class storage or server

Example: \\fr0-abc.xy.server.com\pc_hello_stp_00

File Path: Single Line Text

Field validation checks on:

- starts with \\res.myserver.corp

Example: \\res.myserver.corp\ACE\Computer_XX0\WW000

Regards,

Hi @Piyush27 

For your first example, please try the following code in Fix Script, then apply it to your code:

 var fieldValue = "\\\\fr0-abc.xy.server.com\\pc_hello_stp_00" ;
  
  var regexPattern = /\\\\(.*?)\\/;

  // Use the regular expression to extract the content
  var match = fieldValue.match(regexPattern);

  if (match && match.length >= 2) {
    // The extracted content is in match[1]
    var extractedContent = match[1];
    gs.info(">>>Extracted Content: " + extractedContent);
  } else {
    gs.info(">>>No match found for the regular expression");
  }

For the second example, I don't think you will need regular expression, you just need startsWith to check.

Thanks, @DYCM but it did not work.

The requirement is when a user enters the server path/name in the single-line text box it should do a check

The server path/name should start with \\

then

\\some_name_here_1\some_text_here_2

basically starts with \\ and ends with \
