Groovy how to remove last char from time spent

[Omprakash Thamsetty]

Hi,

What is the function I can use to strip last char from string/value? 

I am getting the value from "Time Spent" field. Users will enter time in H or week or days so I would like to get only number from it. 

Thanks,

Om

Hi @Omprakash Thamsetty 

You don't need to. Try this method on the issue object.

issue.getTimeSpent()

 I hope it helps.

Hi @Ravi Sagar _Sparxsys_ issue.getTimeSpent() will give us underlying issue value but I am getting the value for Time Spent from "log work" screen in behavior. So it is giving the value as 1h , if user enter 1 hour. I need to strip the H letter and get 1. 

Thanks,

Om

Oh ok. What about something like 

string.substring(0, string.length()-1)

Let me know.

Seeing error. Look like subString doesn't like in behavior it seems.

def tmspentIDfld = getFieldById("timeLogged") //during the log work screen.
def tmspentIDfldVal = tmspentIDfld.getValue()

def length = tmspentIDfldVal.substring(0, tmspentIDfldVal.length()-1)

What is the error?

Hi @Ravi Sagar _Sparxsys_ I converted as string once I got the value so it fixed the error. It was some data type.

so that code was

def tmspentIDfld = getFieldById("timeLogged") //during the log work screen.
def tmspentIDfldVal = tmspentIDfld.getValue().toString()

def length = tmspentIDfldVal.substring(0, tmspentIDfldVal.length()-1)
