ScriptRunner Cloud: String replace method

[Benjamin Dombrowsky _D4Digital_]

Hi,

I am currently trying to remove a part of a string in ScriptRunner.

The string looks like this:

foobar (DASD)

Everything between and including the brackets should be removed. I have already tried various methods, but so far without success.

Can someone provide me with a suitable method?

Thank you very much!

Hi Benjamin,

As ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud runs Groovy, you should use the replaceAll method as documented here.

Using this, you would assign your string to a variable, and then you could call replace all on it using a regular expression to remove everything inside and including the brackets, as shown in the example here.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Kristian

ScriptRunner is using the Groovy language, therefore your question translates to: how can I remove the suffix including the space charater?

Here is the answer, although it removes the suffix including a dot character: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34321526/groovy-way-to-remove-file-extension

You can easily change the '.' to ' ' and bingo!

thx

def customFieldValueCleaned = customFieldValue.take(customFieldValue.lastIndexOf('('))

does exactly what I want!
