Validate number to 4 digits

[stevehardstaff]

Hi all

I am currently able to strip a store number from an inbound email. Trouble I have is that they could be, 1 digit, 2 digit, 3 digits or 4. The email I receive leaves out the leading zeros and I hold them as 4 digits (with the leading zeros). E.g, Inbound email has "1" whereas I hold "0001". My code is:

var store=email.body_text.split('\n');

for(i=0; i<store.length; i++){

if(store[i].indexOf('Store Epos:')>-1) {

var storeIs = (store[i].trim().split(':')[1].trim());

  gs.info('RCC Inbound Store is = ' + storeIs);

  current.store_number = storeIs;

Any ideas on how to add in the leading zeros?

Sorry but i didnt get your question, you mean your inbound mail contains Store Epos:1 but by using the above code you get 0001 , is it?

Hi Deepa

Yes, it would need to be 0001 for a 1 digit number, 0021 for 2 digit, 0212 for the 3 digit number.

Hi Steven,

Try this to pad your store number within your script:

//Pad the value of storeIs to ensure it is 4-digits

for(i = storeIs.length;i < 4;i ++){

storeIs = '0' + storeIs;

}

That should work for you.   I ran into the same issue with an old Employee Number field, this was my solution.   Let us know if you still have any issue.

Thanks,
