Remove duplicate values Array

Harish KM · ‎11-09-2016

var res=[];

var changeArr='';

var changeTask = new GlideRecord('change_task');

changeTask.addQuery('change_request', current.sys_id);

changeTask.query();

while (changeTask.next())

{

changeArr+=','+changeTask.assignment_group.manager;

res.push(current.u_technical_approver_users=changeArr); //

}

here i am getting duplicate values,

one group can have 2 managers with the same name. i want to eliminate the duplicate

can any one suggest?

Regards
Harish

I have converted your changeArr from a string to an array for easier processing (and no leading/trailing comma). To make it a comma separated string use arrayName.join(',');

var res=[];

var changeArr=[];

var changeTask = new GlideRecord('change_task');

changeTask.addQuery('change_request', current.sys_id);

changeTask.query();

while (changeTask.next())

{

changeArr.push(changeTask.assignment_group.manager);

res.push(current.u_technical_approver_users=changeArr); //

}

var au = new ArrayUtil();

var newChangeArr = au.unique(changeArr);

var newRes = au.unique(res);

Hi Harish,

For removing duplicate values in array, Use the built-in ArrayUtil Script Include:

var noDuplicates = new ArrayUtil().unique(arr);//arr contains the array values

Thanks,
