UCCX if Step to check if contains data

[Martin Bauer]

Hello everyone

I'm trying to make a script to check if the ANI number is already in a .txt file.

I can get the file from UCCX and copy the contents to a variable, but I'm not sure on how to make this IF step. Or better, is it possible to do it with IF?

The data in the file is something like this:

U"\r\n2008u\n\r\n2007u\n\r\n2068u\n\r\n2069"

Using the if step how can I check if the ANI 2008, for example is in the file?

Thanks.

Try .contains method.

If (variable.contains("2008")) Then

Yeap. That's it.

Do you know where can I get all this syntax? In the UCCX language reference book this kind of syntax are not mentioned.

Thank you very much.

You can refer to Java language syntax because UCCX scripting is based on Java.
Also you can program on straight java in script editor.

Please, please, please do a null check against the variable when you use methods, particularly for variables that source data from documents. I see this all the time, a string variable can be set to null on an invalid document and .contains on a null object will throw an exception in the script.

If (variable != null && variable.contains("2008")) Then

Should prevent any issues in the future.
