Hi ,

I need to extract the last four digits of a number field ,irrespective of the identifiers. mean we dont have any option to split on the string like (" , _, -,) etc.just blindly need to extract last four characters of the string.how can we achieve this..

Hi Girish

If you are in a client script you can use .slice(-4) to get the last 4 characters of a string. For an example, the below will alert the last 4 characters of the short description field when loading an incident.

function onLoad() {
var desc = g_form.getValue('short_description');
var lastFour = desc.slice(-4);
alert(lastFour);
}

Hope it helps.
