Split in script [resolved]

Hi, I would like to know how I can do to call the function "split" in my script to be able to retrieve the permissions function getPermissions(). It returns a list as "ALLOWED;kevinr;Consumer".I tried the function "split" but it does not work, because it is not known in Alfresco …Can you help me ?

Are you saying this doesn't work?

"ALLOWED;kevinr;Consumer".split(";")‍

Ive seen split working. What's your code?

It's working now, I have changed my code.

 var perm = new String(document.getPermissions());
var elements = perm.split(";");‍‍

I think we should specify that the return of getPermission is a String.

Thx you !

The difficulty you are running into is that Java strings are not Javascript strings. In your solution, you are creating a Javascript string from the Java string. You will find this issue pervades the Alfresco implementation of Javascript.
