sorting array

[samadam]

I have a script include that I ma returning array. On certain conditions I Need to combine two arrays. how can I sort it once I have the combined array? Also is there a way to remove duplicates?

Hi @samadam , you can use the below script to merge and remove duplicates and sort the merged array:

// Two Arrays
var array1 = [7, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4];
var array2 = [3, 4, 5, 6];

// Merge the two arrays
var mergedArray = array1.concat(array2);

// Use ArrayUtil to remove duplicates
var arrayUtil = new ArrayUtil();
var uniqueArray = arrayUtil.unique(mergedArray);

// Sorting the Unique Array
uniqueArray.sort();

// Log the Merged Array
gs.log('Merged and deduplicated array: ' + JSON.stringify(uniqueArray));

Hi @samadam ,

You can use below code to remove duplicate and short the array.

var MyScriptInclude = Class.create();
MyScriptInclude.prototype = {
    initialize: function() {},

    getSortedUniqueArray: function() {
        var array1 = ['server1', 'server3', 'server2'];
        var array2 = ['server2', 'server4', 'server1'];

        // Combine arrays
        var combinedArray = array1.concat(array2);

        // Remove duplicates (Option 1: Using Set)
        var uniqueArray = Array.from(new Set(combinedArray));

        // Sort the final array
        uniqueArray.sort();

        return uniqueArray; // Returns sorted and unique array
    },

    type: 'MyScriptInclude'
};
