On doing a GlideAjax I am getting a String written in JSON format.

var str ="var data = {"value1": "abc","value2": "def","value3": "ghi"};";

Now from this string I want to fetch individual parameters from this data variable and get output of individual.

Value1 =  abc
Value2 = def
Value3 = ghi

Please let me know how from the output string which has a variable declaration of var data, I can get my individual output.

var str='var data = {"value":"abc","value2":"def","value3":"ghi"};';

var start=str.indexOf('{');
var end=str.indexOf('}');
var str=str.substring(start,end+1)

gs.info(str)

var data=JSON.parse(str); // Now you will have a valid JSON String

 

//Now access them as below

gs.info(data.value);// Now data.value1 will hold "abc";
gs.info(data.value2);// Now data.value2 will hold "def";
gs.info(data.value3);// Now data.value2 will hold "ghi";

 

Its my bad i additionaly added the parsing statement twice;

please try the above cod. its tested

JSON.parse is not working 😞

I tried in background script too but it is not allowing.
