Remove double quotes from array values returned

[Bhaskar24]

I am getting the response in Client Script from the Script Include as below.

["5390f47f97e892545a4b31511153af96","2a21e73697709e901b85f0511153afce","42c87060471e46d0fcf52501e36d436f"]

I would like to convert it as below by removing the double quotes.

[5390f47f97e892545a4b31511153af96,2a21e73697709e901b85f0511153afce,42c87060471e46d0fcf52501e36d436f]

Please help me to achieve this by adding the piece of code in Script Include or Client Script.

@Bhaskar24 

that's how array stores value, you can't do anything for it.

What's your requirement?

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

I need to pass the response to List Collector variable which should be as [a,b,c] instead ["a","b","c"].

Client Script: 

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading) {
        return;
    }
    var userID = g_form.getValue('requested_for');
    var holdingGroups = g_form.getValue('holding_memberships');
    g_form.showFieldMsg('add_remove_groups', 'Old Groups: ' + oldValue);
    g_form.showFieldMsg('add_remove_groups', 'New Groups: ' + newValue);
    g_form.showFieldMsg('add_remove_groups', 'Holding Groups: ' + holdingGroups);

    var ga = new GlideAjax('ManageAtYourServiceMembers');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'validateMembership');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_requested_for', userID);
    ga.addParam('sysparm_holdingGroups', holdingGroups);
    ga.addParam('sysparm_updatedGroups', newValue);
    ga.getXMLAnswer(function(answer) {
        var objAnswer = JSON.parse(answer);
        var arrAddGroups = [];
        arrAddGroups = objAnswer.addGroups;

        //var parsedAGarray = JSON.parse(arrAddGroups);
        var resultAGarray = arrAddGroups.map(function(item) {
            return item;
        });

        g_form.showFieldMsg('add_groups', 'Add Groups Obj: ' + resultAGarray);
        g_form.showFieldMsg('remove_groups', 'Remove Groups Obj: ' + objAnswer.removeGroups);
        //g_form.setValue('add_groups', objAnswer.addGroups);
        //g_form.setValue('remove_groups', objAnswer.removeGroups);
    });
}​

Script Include:

validateMembership: function() {
        gs.log('1-In validateMembership', 'MAYSM');

        var userID = this.getParameter('sysparm_requested_for');
        var inputHoldingGroups = this.getParameter('sysparm_holdingGroups');
        var inputHoldingGroups1 = inputHoldingGroups.split(',');
        var holdingGroupsArray = [];
        for (var i = 0; i < inputHoldingGroups1.length; i++) {
            holdingGroupsArray.push('"' + inputHoldingGroups1[i] + '"');
        }
        holdingGroupsArray.join();

        var inputUpdatedGroups = this.getParameter('sysparm_updatedGroups');
        var inputUpdatedGroups1 = inputUpdatedGroups.split(',');
        var updatedGroupsArray = [];
        for (var j = 0; j < inputUpdatedGroups1.length; j++) {
            updatedGroupsArray.push('"' + inputUpdatedGroups1[j] + '"');
        }
        updatedGroupsArray.join();
        gs.log('2-holdingGroups: ' + inputHoldingGroups + ', updatedGroups: ' + inputUpdatedGroups, 'MAYSM');
        gs.log('3-userID: ' + userID + ', holdingGroupsArray: ' + holdingGroupsArray + ', updatedGroupsArray: ' + updatedGroupsArray, 'MAYSM');

        var removeGroupsArray = [];
        var addGroupsArray = [];
        var arrayUtil = new global.ArrayUtil();
        removeGroupsArray = arrayUtil.diff(holdingGroupsArray, updatedGroupsArray);
        addGroupsArray = arrayUtil.diff(updatedGroupsArray, holdingGroupsArray);

        gs.log('4-removeGroups: ' + removeGroupsArray + ', addGroups: ' + addGroupsArray, 'MAYSM');

        var parsedArray = JSON.parse(response);
        var resultArray = parsedArray.map(function(item) {
            return item;
        });

        var groupsObj = {
            "addGroups": addGroupsArray,
            "removeGroups": removeGroupsArray
        };

        gs.log('5-removeGroupsObj: ' + groupsObj.removeGroups + ', addGroupsObj: ' + groupsObj.addGroups, 'MAYSM');

        return JSON.stringify(groupsObj);
    },

Response:

Add Groups Obj: "dfb2f909dbe76200b81ad8c5ce96194f","1fb2f909dbe76200b81ad8c5ce961950" from Client Script.
