I have some code in a computed field where I want to embed some spaces between two values:
var rtn:String = doc.getItemValue("RefNo")[0] + " " + doc.getItemValue("Company")[0];
the computed field Display Type = text and the content type is String but the display strips out all the extra spaces. Is there a function like insertSpaces(5) that would insert 5 hard spaces?
Figured it out insert " " + " " and display as HTML. fairly simple but really ackward.
It will print them out as whitespace in HTML output. It will not be rendered.
You can add instead (5 times in your case).
An alternative way is to set style="white-space: pre;" (works IE8+ and other browsers)

I have a custom field with some HTML code in it:
<h1>A H1 Heading</h1>
<h2>A H2 Heading</h2>
<b>Rich Text</b><br>
fsdfafsdaf df fsda f asdfa f asdfsa fa sfd<br>
<ol><li>numbered list</li><li>fgdsfsd f sa</li></ol>Another List<br>
<ul><li>bulleted</li></ul>
I also have another non-stored field where I want to display the plain text version of the above using REGEXP_REPLACE, while preserving the carriage returns/line breaks, maybe even converting <br> and <br/> to \r\n
However the patterns etc... seem to be different in NetSuite fields compared to using ?replace(...) in freemarker... and I'm terrible with remembering regexp patterns :)
Assuming the html text is stored in custitem_htmltext what expression could i use as the default value of the NetSuite Text Area custom field to display the html code above as:
A H1 Heading
A H2 Heading
Rich Text
fsdfafsdaf df fsda f asdfa f asdfsa fa sfd
etc...
I understand the bulleted or numbered lists will look crap.
My current non-working formula is:
REGEXP_REPLACE({custitem_htmltext},'<[^<>]*>','')
I've also tried:
REGEXP_REPLACE({custitem_htmltext},'<[^>]+>','') - didn't work
When you use a Text Area type of custom field and input HTML, NetSuite seems to change the control characters ('<' and '>') to HTML entities ('<' and '>'). You can see this if you input the HTML and then change the field type to Long Text.
If you change both fields to Long Text, and re-input the data and formula, the REGEXP_REPLACE() should work as expected.
From what I have learned recently, Netsuite encodes data by default to URL format, so from < to < and > to >.
Try using triple handlebars e.g. {{{custitem_htmltext}}}
https://docs.celigo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038856752-Handlebars-syntax
This should stop the default behaviour and allow you to use in a formula/saved search.
I have a JSF page with xhtml and java file.
In my xhtml page, I use this to display data:
<h:outputText style="font-weight: bold;white-space: pre" value="Failing Program:" />
<h:outputText style="" value="#{registerData.fp}" styleClass="courierFont"/>
And in my java file, I read the content from a text file and substring it as:
fp = genRegStr.substring(998,1058);
It displays the output as:
The gap between failing program and content is needed and is my css. But is there a way to erradicate the space between the
Z2S0 OBJ-z2s0sx +000011BC TRC-COA4 LOADSET-BASE
I tried the replaceAll function in java but doesnt seem to work. Any other way using css or even java? All i need is to remove extra spaces and leave only one space inbetween the content.
Use trim() with replaceAll(" +", " ") as following:
String before = "Z2S0 OBJ-z2s0sx +000011BC TRC-COA4 LOADSET-BASE";
String after = before.trim().replaceAll(" +", " ");
trim() will truncate leading and trailing spaces, while replacAll() with this expression " +" will replace multiple spaces present in the string with single space.
Use String.trim() when retrieving the string from the file:
Returns a copy of the string, with leading and trailing whitespace omitted.
Change
fp = genRegStr.substring(998,1058);
By
fp = genRegStr.substring(998,1058).trim();
I'm getting document history, adding "\n" and existing document history. Code executes without any error. But when I see it in web everything on one line. In notes client, document history is shown as one line of activity.
Tried with #Newline and same issue.
What I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Here is sample code:
var myvar="\n"
var h=getComponent("docHistory1").getValue();
var msg="Stage 2 - LAB Manager approved and completed check. Send to Chemist: " + unm + " + dt1;
document1.setValue("DocHistory", h + myvar + msg);
document1.save();
Use a Multiline Edit Box xp:inputTextarea instead of a Computed field xp:text and set it to Read only readonly="true".
As an alternative you could still use a Computed field replacing all '\n' with '<br />' and setting escape="false".
Just to give an alternative solution, you could use a style on the computed text component with "white-space:pre" (or pre-line or pre-wrap, see this for the differences) and that would preserve the newlines in the content.
I have a lot of html files that I want to add a rel="nofollow" to all the a href tags that are into a specific div.
I think c# code can do it. But how do I relate only partial code..?
Any suggestion? also I didnt realy know
Here is what I think:
Parse the HTML line by line
Look for " block start you would need to find the means look for "/div>".
Store all the content between "" into a string
check if "href=" is found and how many
Now parse this string again to search all "" and match with "href=" counter
#5 will give you an array of "href=" tag based lines
Now you can assume every "href=" tag must have ">" at the end of the "
At the last this is what you can do:
string s1 = " this is link ";
string s2 = s1.Insert(s1.IndexOf(">"), " rel=\"nofollow\"");
I currently have an Event Receiver that is attached to a custom list. My current requirement is to implement column level security for a Rich Text field (Multiple lines of text with enhanced rich text).
According to this post[webarchive], I can get the field's before and after values like so:
object oBefore = properties.ListItem[f.InternalName];
object oAfter = properties.AfterProperties[f.InternalName];
The problem is that I'm running to issues comparing these two values, which lead to false positives (code is detecting a change when there wasn't one).
Exhibit A: Using ToString on both objects
oBefore.ToString()
<div class=ExternalClass271E860C95FF42C6902BE21043F01572>
<p class=MsoNormal style="margin:0in 0in 0pt">Text.
</div>
oAfter.ToString()
<DIV class=ExternalClass271E860C95FF42C6902BE21043F01572>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Text.
</DIV>
Problems?
HTML tags are capitalized
Random spaces (see the additional space after margin:)
Using GetFieldValueForEdit or GetFieldValueAsHTML seem to result in the same values.
"OK," you say, so lets just compare the plain text values.
Exhibit B: Using GetFieldValueAsText
Fortunately, this method strips all of the HTML tags out of the value and only plain text is displayed. However, using this method led me to discover additional issues with whitespace characters:
In the before value:
Sometimes there are additional newline characters.
Sometimes spaces are displayed as non-breaking spaces (ASCII char code 160)
Question:
How can I detect if the user changed a rich text field in an event receiver?
[Ideal] Detect any change to HTML or text or white space
[Acceptable] Detect changes to text or white space
[Not so good] Detect changes to text characters only (strip all non-alphanumeric characters)
What happens if you set the ListItem field with the new value and read it back out? Does that give the same formatting?
object oBefore = properties.ListItem[f.InternalName];
properties.ListItem[f.InternalName] = properties.AfterProperties[f.InternalName]
object oAfter = properties.ListItem[f.InternalName];
//dont update
properties.ListItem[f.InternalName] = oBefore;
I would probably try something between choices 2 and 3:
bool changed =
valueAsTextBefore != valueAsTextAfter ||
0 != string.Compare(
oBefore.ToString().Replace(" ", ""),
oAfter.ToString().Replace(" ", ""),
true);
The left half checks if the text (including case) has changed while the right half checks if the tags or attributes have changed. Very kludgy, but should fit your case.
The only other thing I can think of is to run an XML transform on the HTML in order to standardize on case and spacing. But not only does that seem like overkill, but it assumes the HTML will always be well formed.
I'm currently testing a combination approach: GetFieldValueAsText and then stripping out all characters except alphanumeric/punctuation:
static string GetRichTextValue(string value)
{
if (null == value)
{
return string.Empty;
}
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(value.Length);
foreach (char c in value)
{
if (char.IsLetterOrDigit(c) || char.IsPunctuation(c))
{
sb.Append(c);
}
}
return sb.ToString();
}
This only detects changes to the text of a rich text field but seems to work consistently.
