Hi guys, 

I am trying to create some Javascript to look at the URL of an uploaded document within a folder structure. If it finds text within that URL I want it to return a set string (an email address). Currently the code below works but just for one document wherein DThale is contained within the URL. How do I add to this code to check for other values and then subsequently output other email addresses?

var a = [[FileRef.Value]];
if (a.indexOf('DThale') > -1) {
  return "email@address.com";
} else {
  return "";
}

  Hi Dan Thale
  As discussed in our session yesterday you can just extend your script like this:

  var a = [[FileRef.Value]];
  if (a.indexOf('DThale') > -1) {
    return "email@address.com";
  }
  if (a.indexOf('AnotherUser') > -1) {
    return "anotheremail@address.com";
  }
  if (a.indexOf('AnotherPartOfFolderName') > -1) {
    return "somebody@address.com";
  }
  return "";
