Is there a way to pass file.getcontents() to a client script from a suitelet? When I use

`functionName: "myFunc(" + file.getcontents() + ")"`

I get a syntax error.

the solution I would use is to put the file contents in a field on the form and get that value from your client script instead

if you really want do it in the functionName, then your functionName is essentially a string used with <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/eval|eval>. Follow all the normal rules of eval, pay extra attention to all the warning telling you to stop

It's a base64 representation of an excel file. I don't know why it would give me an error.

```"myFunc(" + "ABDE1234" + ")"```
is equivalent to
```"myFunc(ABDE1234)"```

your file contents will be interpreted as a variable, not a string

yeah putting that data in a field and just reading it in the client script is usually the simpler/easier approach

Just curious - what the use case is that requires a base64 encoded file string to be injected into your client script like that?
