where can i find complete documentation about GlideStringUtil?

Also what is the difference between

 var StringUtil = new GlideStringUtil();

and this?

 var StringUtil = GlideStringUtil ;

Well prasanna,

GlideStringUtil is a global variable, its not a class. See Download Attachments as a ZIP File - ServiceNow Guru

To use GlideStringUtil:

var StringUtil = GlideStringUtil; var sa = new GlideSysAttachment(); var binData = sa.getBytes(current); var encData =StringUtil.base64Encode(binData);

Hi Prasanna,

I don't see enough documentation on this one. I will let you know if I find anything on this.

Hi Prasanna,

There doesn't appear to be any official documentation on GlideStringUtil (yet).

The difference between the first line and the second line of code you have is that the second one is invalid. The first instantiates the class (to make an object) and the second is looking for a variable called GlideStringUtil, which likely doesn't exist.

I have sent a request to our developer docs team to get something documented on developer.servicenow.com. No ETA as of yet.

Thanks Chuck. I was about to send email to them
