ArrayUtil - Unique function

[ersureshbe]

Hi,

I'm trying to remove duplicates using the arrayUtil function using the below code. But it's not helped to resolve. Can you help me to understand where the issue is? The expected result is to remove the duplicate in x instead it's printing what present in x.

var x= [];
x = "82d773951bbe5890454e36d5464bcbaa,c4d4fe4937101000deeabfc8bcbe5d91,8ffdf454c3031000b959fd251eba8f1c,c4d4fe4937101000deeabfc8bcbe5d91,8ffdf454c3031000b959fd251eba8f1c,b1ff7854c3031000b959fd251eba8ff5";
var arrayUtil = new ArrayUtil();
var a1 = new Array(x);
gs.print(arrayUtil.unique(a1));

Regards,

Suresh

Hi there,

In your example, x is just one large string. That won't work.

This works fine for me:

var x = ["82d773951bbe5890454e36d5464bcbaa","c4d4fe4937101000deeabfc8bcbe5d91","8ffdf454c3031000b959fd251eba8f1c","c4d4fe4937101000deeabfc8bcbe5d91","8ffdf454c3031000b959fd251eba8f1c","b1ff7854c3031000b959fd251eba8ff5"];
var uniqueArray = new ArrayUtil().unique(x);
gs.info(uniqueArray);

Result:

*** Script: 82d773951bbe5890454e36d5464bcbaa,c4d4fe4937101000deeabfc8bcbe5d91,8ffdf454c3031000b959fd251eba8f1c,b1ff7854c3031000b959fd251eba8ff5

Hello Suresh,

It not working because ,each array elements should be available in '' single/double quotation marks.

Thanks,

If in your actual script, value of x is from some other operation, you need to convert the String to an array. That is, do .split(",") to convert the string to an array.

var x= [];
x = "82d773951bbe5890454e36d5464bcbaa,c4d4fe4937101000deeabfc8bcbe5d91,8ffdf454c3031000b959fd251eba8f1c,c4d4fe4937101000deeabfc8bcbe5d91,8ffdf454c3031000b959fd251eba8f1c,b1ff7854c3031000b959fd251eba8ff5".split(",");
var arrayUtil = new ArrayUtil();
var a1 = new Array(x);
gs.print(arrayUtil.unique(a1));
