Groovy Post Function email replace value

Kevin Lynch3

I trying to produce an groovy email post function where a cfValue is assigned to a string, then remove a portion of the string and then place in the html email. Below is the"Email template" with the "Email format" set to HTML, and the current output.

&lt;html&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Summary: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;% out &lt;&lt; issue.summary %&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Separating user: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;% out &lt;&lt; cfValues['Separating user'] %&gt; = Please ignore the ###&lt;br&gt;

&lt;b&gt;UID of Separated: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;% out &lt;&lt; cfValues['UID of Separated'] %&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Reports To: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;% out &lt;&lt; cfValues['Reports To'] %&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Manager's UID: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;% out &lt;&lt; cfValues['Manager\'s UID'] %&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Work Location: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;% out &lt;&lt; cfValues['Work Location'] %&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Other Work Location: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;% out &lt;&lt; cfValues['Other Work Location'] %&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Effective Date: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;% out &lt;&lt; cfValues['Date Requested'] %&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;

Summary: Separation of Cubicle Monkey

Separating user: klynch:10000 = Please ignore the ###
UID of Separated: test1234
Reports To: klynch:10000
UID: test4321
Work Location: CA02 (GBR) (611 N Brand Blvd, Glendale, CA 91203)
Other Work Location: NA
Effective Date: 2013-03-29 00:00:00.0

I want the Separating user: and Reports To: output to be (no :10000) at the end

Summary: Separation of Cubicle Monkey

Separating user: klynch
UID of Separated: test1234
Reports To: klynch
UID: test4321
Work Location: CA02 (GBR) (611 N Brand Blvd, Glendale, CA 91203)
Other Work Location: NA
Effective Date: 2013-03-29 00:00:00.0

I've tested string replacement with and the output it correct

&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
var str = "klynch:10000";
var n = str.replace(":10000","");
document.write(n);
&lt;/script&gt;

output shows klynch without the :10000

I tried adding the following inside the body, but it outputs nothing in return and I'm not seeing anything in the log as to why or any error.

&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
var str = cfValues['Separating user'];
document.write(str);
var n = str.replace(":10000","");
document.write(n);
&lt;/script&gt;

I'm assuming that the cfValues['Separating user'] does not work inside the script tag. How do I get it so that the cfvalue can be stripped of it's :10000 at the end and then placed in the email correctly.

Thanks

Javascript is not groovy... so not sure what your JS snippets demonstrate.

Is the "Separating user" field a user custom field? If so you can get the username by just appending .name ie cfValues['Sep User'].name. This would be better than doing string manipulation.

Otherwise you could do cfValues[x].split(":").getAt(0)

but you will get an exception if no value is filled.

wow, thanks Jamie. That was easy :-p

Np. If you used the former you should probably do:

cfValues['Sep User']?.name

This will just return null if the user field is null, without throwing a null pointer exception.
