Is it possible to use array in indexOf function?

[Tarasingh26]

Hi All,

I have string nm, I need to check if  nm string contains any element of array of substring. I am trying to achieve it using highlighted code in attached screenshot but it is not working. If anyone implemented this type of requirement, please help me in this.

Thanks,

Tara Singh

@Aman Kumar S I wrote code below:-

(function executeRule(current, previous) {

var nm =current.getValue('name'); // e.g. This is a high school. means main string
var desc =current.getValue('description');
var tArray=[];
var tWord= new GlideRecord('sn_risk_advanced_trending_word');
tWord.addEncodedQuery('u_active=true'); // At this line ,if we filter specific one keyword then code will work easily.then no need to do extra stuff. e.g high school
tWord.query();

while(tWord.next())
{
tArray.push(tWord.getValue('u_trending_word')); // tArray values would be ["high school","college"] means substrs

for(var i=0;i<tArray.length;t++)
{
if(nm.indexOf(tArray[i]) > -1 || desc.indexOf(tArray[i])>-1)
{
tWord.tArray[i].setValue('statu', "2"); //Here I am also struggling to set value.
}
}
tWord.update();

}
}(current, previous)

What is your objective of writing your code, please explain the use case, the code is not self explanatory I am afraid.

What is being stored in tArray? Why are you even storing value in array?

What value you trying to set and why?

@Tarasingh26 I have used the string.indexOf function and it worked fine for me. The only change I did in my script is to convert both the string values (which need to be compared to lower case to find a correct match.)

Following script worked for me.

var nm = 'Rock Paper Scissor';
nm = nm.toLowerCase();
var someArray = ['some','rock','hair'];
for(var i=0;i<someArray.length;i++){
    if(nm.indexOf(someArray[i].toLowerCase())>-1){        
        gs.info('found '+someArray[i]);
    }
    else{
         gs.info(' not found '+someArray[i]);         
    }
}

Hope this helps.

var desc =current.getValue('description');
var tArray=[];
var tWord= new GlideRecord('sn_risk_advanced_trending_word');
tWord.addEncodedQuery('u_active=true'); // At this line ,if we filter specific one keyword then code will work easily.then no need to do extra stuff. e.g high school
tWord.query();

while(tWord.next())
{
tArray.push(tWord.getValue('u_trending_word')); // tArray values would be ["high school","college"] means substrs

for(var i=0;i<tArray.length;t++)
{
if(nm.indexOf(tArray[i]) > -1 || desc.indexOf(tArray[i])>-1)
{
tWord.tArray[i].setValue('statu', "2"); //Here I am also struggling to set value.
}
}
tWord.update();

}
