Hi there,

Not sure what you exactly mean. Can you give an example?

Something like below might work.

if(your_string.indexOf(other_string) != -1) {
    ...
}

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Kind regards,

hi expert! 

How to check if a string contains sub string  

[Ankur Bawiskar]

@naresh 

if you are referring to searching for substring in some field of your table when you are doing GlideRecord then it should be like this

var gr = new GlideRecord('incident');

gr.addQuery('short_description', 'CONTAINS', 'test');

gr.query();

var count = gr.getRowCount();

gs.info(count);

Hello Ankur,

if i would say according to the recommendations using GlideRecord and alerts function in the client script is not best practices, so if it in case any client record contains both the above(gliderecord and alerts function)records it should show the like violation on custom UI Page(named it as 'show violation in my update set') table in that that case we consider gliderecord is one sub string and alert function is another sub string.we call them from separate 'upate set best practice' table.

so my question is how to write a script(in script include)  to show them in violation table with their respective information.
