Parsing the Serial / Lot Number field
I am trying to parse the Serial / Lot Number field on an after submit client script applied to Item Receipts. Basically I want to create a custom record for each serial number entered.
I am haveing some difficulties extracting the serial numbers from that field. I am trying to use a regexp and .split() to extract them and populate an array.
BTW the extra were removed by the forum when I posted. The expression is /^w+s*w*/;
var re = /^w+s*w*/; var lines = nlapiGetLineItemCount('item'); for (var i = 1; i <= lines; i++) { .... var serial = nlapiGetLineItemValue('item', 'serialnumbers', i); var seriallist = serial.split(re); for (var j=0; j<=seriallist.length; j++) { var termrec = nlapiCreateRecord('customrecordterminal'); termrec.setFieldValue('name', seriallist[j]); .... 0
