where can i find complete documentation about GlideStringUtil?

[prasanna11]

Also what is the difference between

 var StringUtil = new GlideStringUtil();

and this?

 var StringUtil = GlideStringUtil ;

Hi Prasanna,

Can you help me understand exactly what you are trying to do or was this just out of curiosity because you said GlideStringUtil() used somewhere?

There are a lot of useful (and documented) string utilities available in JSUtil(). I use them all the time.

JSUtil - ServiceNow Wiki

attachScreenshot: function() {
   gs.log('inside function 29692');
   var StringUtil = new GlideStringUtil();
   var value = StringUtil.base64DecodeAsBytes(this.getParameter('sysparm_value'));
   var tableName = this.getParameter('sysparm_tableName');
   var sys_id = this.getParameter('sysparm_sys_id');
   var filename = this.getParameter('sysparm_filename');
   var content_type = this.getParameter('sysparm_content_type');
   var attachment = new GlideSysAttachment();
   var x = new GlideRecord(tableName);
   x.addQuery('sys_id',sys_id);
   x.query();
   gs.log(x.number +'29692');
   attachment.write(x, filename, content_type, value);
   gs.log(x.number +'x'+ filename +'filename' +content_type+'content_type 29692');
   return ('Screen shot attached to ticket!');
   }

Just trying to implement this function.. ! Not sure what goes wrong.

Thank you for the details Prasanna. I am following up with our people...

[prasanna11]

got this working by correcting 13-15 as below (as x was not the record object and was a gliderecord object)

if(x.next()){

  var attachment = new GlideSysAttachment();

  gs.log(x.number +'29692');

  attachment.write(x, filename, content_type, value);

  gs.log(x.number +'x'+ filename +'filename' +content_type+'content_type 29692');

  }

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);

There are a lot of useful functions in GlideStringUtil. These are:
