Is there a way to iterate through multiple repetitions of the same field?

Question

I want to be able to iterate through multiple repetitions of PID 13 - Phone field and add PID 13.3 to indicate if it is home phone or cell phone. For eg. the first repetition would be home phone and I want to add PID13.3 as PH and second repetition would be cell phone and I want to add PID13.3 as CP.

Answer 1

//Get PID-13 and split on the tilde

var pid13 = StringUtils.splitByWholeSeparator(message.getNode('PID-13'), '~');

 

//Loop through each instance

for (var i=0 ; i < pid13.length ; i++) {

  

  //Check to see if we have a phone number for Home, Cell, Work and set the appropriate value

   if (message.checkNodeIsNotBlank('PID-13['+(i+1)+'].1')) {

      qie.debug('Inside for loop: ' + i);

      var description;

      switch(i) {

         case 0:

            description = 'PH';

            break;

            case 1:

               description = 'CP';

               break;

               case 2:

                  description = 'WK';

                  break;

      }

      //Set value into message

      message.setNode('PID-13['+(i+1)+'].3', description);

   }

}
