 e.g.

var sRegexQ='/<small>(.*?)</small>/';
var pattern= new SNC.Regex(sRegexQ);


 var sStr='<h3>OPEN Problem P-22061362 in environment <i>Non Production</i></h3><br><small>Problem detected at: 10:27 (UTC) 09.06.2022</small><hr><b>1 impacted infrastructure component</b><hr><br><div><span>Process</span><br>';

var results = pattern.match(sStr);
       while (results !== null) {
               gs.print("match: " + results[0]);
               results = pattern.match();
       }

*** Script: match: <small>Problem detected at: 10:27 (UTC) 09.06.2022</small>
 
or if use sRegexQ='/(?<=\<small\>)(\s*.*\s*)(?=\<\/small\>)/'
 *** Script: match: Problem detected at: 10:27 (UTC) 09.06.2022

 =====================

var r = new SNC.Regex('/world/');
var str = 'helloworld';
var replaced = r.replaceAll(str, 'there');
// replaced == 'hellothere'

Get URL Parameter - server side script (portal or classic UI)

Classic UI : var sURL_editparam = gs . action . getGlideURI (). getMap (). get ( ' sysparm_aparameter ' ); if ( sURL_editparam == 'true' ) { gs . addInfoMessage ( 'parameter passed ); } Portal : var sURL_editparam = $sp . getParameter ( " sysparm_aparameter " ); if ( sURL_editparam == 'true' ) { gs . addInfoMessage ( 'parameter passed ); }

ServiceNow check for null or nil or empty (or not)

Haven't tested these all recently within global/local scopes, so feel free to have a play! option 1 use an encoded query embedded in the GlideRecord , e.g.  var grProf = new GlideRecord ( 'x_cls_clear_skye_i_profile' ); grProf . addQuery ( 'status=1^ owner=NULL ' ); grProf . query (); even better use the glideRecord  addNotNullQuery or addNullQuery option 2 JSUtil.nil / notNil (this might be the most powerful. See this link ) example: if ( current . operation () == 'insert' && JSUtil . notNil ( current . parent ) && ! current . work_effort . nil ())  option 3 there might be times when you need to get inside the GlideRecord and perform the check there, for example if the code goes down 2 optional routes depending on null / not null can use gs.nil : var grAppr = new GlideRecord ( 'sysapproval_approver' ); var grUser = new GlideRecord ( 'sys_user' ); if ( grUser . get ( 'sys_id' , current . approver )){
