SubString Help

[zishan876]

Hi All
Happy Holidays...
I do not know what is wrong with my statement below:

var rLength= recordIds.length;

var rString = recordIds; 

var startingPos = rString.lastIndexOf("recordIds");


var idName = rString.substring(startingPos+6,rLength);
var myNewString = idName.replace(/,/gi,"','"); 

var strSQL="select Id,  Description__c from Position__c where Id in('" + myNewString+ "')";

I get an error on Substring is not a function????


var idName = rString.substring(startingPos+6,rLength);

Basically user will select more then 2 records form the list view and then click on a custom button to insert records...
I needed to replace between the commas and place in something like this 'XXXrecordid','XXrecordid'
Thanks

What is 'recordIds'? Is it a string type? if not, that might be your problem.

Try forcing rString to be a string:

var rString = '' + recordIds;

// or

var rString = recordIds.toString();
