How to pass description value to objects and then push to array

[Charan123]

Hi Team,

convert description value into objects and then push to array.

In the format of [ {Incident : INC0010014, Affected User : Abraham Lincoln, Priority : 2 - High, Assignment Group : Application Development},{ Incident : INC0010020, Affected User : David Miller, Priority : 1 - Critical, Assignment Group : Service Desk}, {....}]

Please share your inputs how to achieve this.


Thanks
Charan

Hi @Najmuddin Mohd ,
Not working whenever field is missing suppose assignment group is unavailable in first set.
var text = "Incident : INC001000 Affected User : Abraham Lincoln Priority : 2 - High
Incident : INC001002 Affected User : Test Priority : 3 - Moderate Assignment Group : Service Desk"

Could you please suggest on this

Hi @Charan123 ,
I have updated the regex to include the Affected user, Priority, and Assignment group as optional.

// var text = "Incident : INC001000 Affected User : Abraham Lincoln Priority : 2 - High Incident : INC001002 Affected User : Test Priority : 3 - Moderate Assignment Group : Service Desk "; // string variable

// // Split the text at each "Incident" keyword
// var incidentsArray = text.trim().split(/(?=Incident\s*:)/);

// var finalArray = [];

// for (var i = 0; i < incidentsArray.length; i++) {
//     var text1 = incidentsArray[i];

//     // Regex to match the incident details, with Assignment Group being optional
//     var regex = /Incident\s*:\s*(INC\d+)\s*Affected User\s*:\s*([A-Za-z\s]+)\s*Priority\s*:\s*([^\n]*?)(?:\s*Assignment Group\s*:\s*([A-Za-z\s]+))?\s*$/;

//     var match = regex.exec(text1);

//     // If a match is found, push the object to the array
//     if (match) {
//         finalArray.push({
//             "Incident": match[1],
//             "Affected User": match[2].trim() ? match[2].trim(): "",
//             "Priority": match[3].trim(),
//             "Assignment Group": match[4] ? match[4].trim() : ""
//         });
//     }
// }

// gs.info(JSON.stringify(finalArray));


var text = "Incident : INC001000 Affected User : Abraham Lincoln Incident : INC001002 Priority : 3 - Moderate Assignment Group : Service Desk "; // string variable

// Split the text at each "Incident" keyword
var incidentsArray = text.trim().split(/(?=Incident\s*:)/);

var finalArray = [];

for (var i = 0; i < incidentsArray.length; i++) {
    var text1 = incidentsArray[i];

    // Regex to match the incident details, with Affected User, Priority, and Assignment Group being optional
    var regex = /Incident\s*:\s*(INC\d+)(?:\s*Affected User\s*:\s*([A-Za-z\s]+))?(?:\s*Priority\s*:\s*([^\n]*?))?(?:\s*Assignment Group\s*:\s*([A-Za-z\s]+))?\s*$/;

    var match = regex.exec(text1);

    // If a match is found, push the object to the array
    if (match) {
        finalArray.push({
            "Incident": match[1],
            "Affected User": match[2] ? match[2].trim() : "",
            "Priority": match[3] ? match[3].trim() : "",
            "Assignment Group": match[4] ? match[4].trim() : ""
        });
    }
}

gs.info(JSON.stringify(finalArray));

Output:

*** Script: [{"Incident":"INC001000","Affected User":"Abraham Lincoln","Priority":"","Assignment Group":""},{"Incident":"INC001002","Affected User":"","Priority":"3 - Moderate","Assignment Group":"Service Desk"}]

The ternary operator in the regex (?:)  is used to check if a match exists.

If a field is missing, it is set to "".
