converting an array to a string...

Is there an easy way to convert an array to a string? I am wanting to convert and array like {"This", "is", "an", "array"} to "This is an array". This would be similar to the str() or val() or recordtostring() functions but would work on an array.

I am sure it can be done with a a loop and a few strrep() statements but if there is a simplier way...

  • All excellent suggestions. Thanks to each of you. Ben and Mark did things about as I would have. Sam gets a few extra point for pusing Java - something I should learn. Keven get 10 points for to solution I thought was avaialble but could not find and the quickest, simplest solution available.

  • Hi All, 

    I have one requirement for writing a validation for 'Solution' field. When solution is written less than 25 characters, as validation should throw saying" Solution should be greater than 25 characters".  I am using currently HPSm 9.40 version. Need to write conditions in RuleSets. Please help.

    I have one issue here. Solution field is of Array type. How to conevrt Array to Character. I have written the below condition for conversion. 

    vars.$L_file.resolution.toString();
    print(vars.$L_file.resolution);  

    and it is printing like {"1","2","3"}  .  But, I want this to come in 123...like no.of characters. 

    Also,After this, I am not knowing how to write a validation after this.Please help me. I am not aware of the coding part.

    Hi Keven/Cliff, I have tried to write RAD function like you have provided. But, couldn't make it. Could u please help. Here the input value for Solution field is 'resolution'. 

     

  • There is create solutions above.

    Also you can use next JS to convert array to string:

    function ArrayToString(val)
    {
    	var type=system.functions.type(val)
    	if (type==8){
    		return val.join("")
    	}
    }

    	}

  • Hi sir, I have written one JS code as below and it is calculating the no.of characters. Now I am not knowing how to use this script for writing a validation for solution field by restricting the length as "Please provide minimum 25 characters". Please help on this sir. var resolution=vars.$L_file.resolution var resolutionString= ""; for(i in resolution) { if (resolution[i] == null || resolution[i] == "") { } else { resolutionString = resolutionString " " resolution[i]; } } var resolutionLength = resolutionString.length
  • You need use FormatControl for your table (incidents or probsummary)

    In Validations tab:

    for ADD (if sombody will write resolution when adding ticket or leave it empty if you need check it only when status chenged to resolved)

    and for UPDATE set true or needed condition,

    for example: not same(status in $file, status in $file0) and status in $file="Resolved" 

    For VALIDATION:

    jscall("YourLibName.CalcStringLength", resolution in $file) >25

    And function in SL something like:

     

    function CalcStringLength(val)
    {
    var type=system.functions.type(val)
    if (type==8)
    {
    val=val.join()
    }
    return val.length
    }
