Remove element from an array

[pennieturner]

Hi

I'm trying to remove 1 element from an array, but I'm a little stuck on how to do it.

I have a watch list where the callers manager gets added it to, so, if the callers manager changes, I need to remove the old callers manager from it.

I've got far:

updateWatchList();
function updateWatchList() {
var oldCallerMgr = previous.caller_id.manager;
var wList = current.watch_list;
var arr = [];
var newWList = [];
arr = wList.split(',');
var i = 0;
for (; i < arr.length; i++) {
   if (arr[i]!= "") {
   var existWList = arr[i];
   gs.log('existWList person is - ' +existWList);
   if (oldCallerMgr != arr[i]) {
   newWList.push(existWList);
   }
   }
}
   gs.log('newwatch list is - ' +newWList); //This seems to be correct
current.watch_list = newWList;
gs.log('my new watch list is - '+current.watch_list);   //it comes out org.mozilla.javascript.NativeArray@13bae85
}

It seems to work barr the current.watch_list - newWList?   I get the org.mozilla.javascript.NativeArray@13bae85 error?

Any help is appreciated

2. updateWatchList();  
3. function updateWatchList() {  
4. var oldCallerMgr = previous.caller_id.manager;  
5. var currentCallerMgr=current.caller_id.manager;
6. var wList = current.watch_list;  
7. var arr = [];  
8. arr = wList.split(',');  

                    var index=arr.indexOf(oldCallerMgr);

1. if(index>=0)
2. {
3. arr[index]=currentCallerMgr;
4. }
5. current.watch_list = arr.join(',');  
7. }  

Hi Pennie,

The above code should work for you;

Hope that helps

You can use replace, like I did here:

Copy Existing Values and Add New to Watch List onChange

Hi Pennie,

current.watch_list expects string.   You need to join the array first in LineNumber 22

current.watch_list = newWList.join(',');  

gs.log('my new watch list is - '+current.watch_list);   //it comes out org.mozilla.javascript.NativeArray@13bae85  

Thanks
