replace character using regex

[kunal16]

I have a string like Building\Floor\Space\

My requirement - I want to replace all '\' with ',' and then split the result like:

Building

Floor

Space

How this can be achieved?? Looks like ServiceNow does not recognize '\' as a regex.

Any lead will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

Hello Kumar,

The \ sign is the escape character, and as in ServiceNow it may not produce error, it will someday, somewhere, so use:

var str = 'Building\Floor\Space\'

str.replace(/\\/g, "\n");

Result:

"Building

Floor

Space

"

Notice the double \\, required to escape the code.

It that produces an error, try replacing the / in the original string 'Building\Floor\Space\' with double //, so it will look like 'Building\\Floor\\Space\\', you can do this like str = str.replace(////g, '//');

Regards,

Michal

Hi Michal,

Its showing the below error while using this code:

var str = "tysdtwdt\gdfdfgqsdh\sdghdghfghd\";

gs.print(str.replace(/\\/g, "\n"));

While using this code:

var str = "tysdtwdt\gdfdfgqsdh\sdghdghfghd\";

gs.print(str.replace(////g, '//'));

Below error:

The problem here is with the back slash characters. You need escape character as well.

Your string should be

var str="Building\\Floor\\Space\\";

str.split('\\');

How can we replace  double quotes ("") with single quotes ('')?
