How can i script Contains("string") or matching

[alpha2nl]

Below script don't works, what is de function contains in SN

if(this.rec.u_service.containg("SAM") && this.rec.u_subtype == ""){

      allowed = true;

      }

Maby something like indexOf

Thanks!

Is u_service a string? If so, you are correct: indexOf is the way to go. Example:

if(this.rec.u_service.indexOf("SAM") > -1 && this.rec.u_subtype == ""){

      allowed = true;

}

    Thank you Josh!

I have below code but i still get all time ------>   ("Subtype needs to be provided before leaving this phase.");

The code don't works well

if(this.rec.u_service.indexOf("SAM") > -1   && this.rec.u_subtype == ""){

      allowed = true;

      }

      else if(!this.rec.u_service.indexOf("SAM") > -1 && this.rec.u_subtype == ""){

  gs.addErrorMessage("Subtype needs to be provided before leaving this phase.");

                allowed = false;

      }

Do you know what kind of field u_service is? Is it a reference to another table? If so, you may need to dot-walk to the "display value" field on the referenced table before you check indexOf. For troubleshooting purposes, try taking out the second conditional statement and just test with the first half until you know it's working.

Josh,

It works! it   is a reference to another table. dot-walk resolve it

Thank you very much!
