Check String equality of Slide textbox - google-apps-script

I'm using SlidesApp.getActivePresentation.getSlides[0].getPageElements()[0].asShape().getText().asString() to get the text of the title of the slide. However, when I try to check the text in an equality statement like SlidesApp.getActivePresentation.getSlides[0].getPageElements()[0].asShape().getText().asString() == "XYZ Company" it returns false. What do I need to do to accurately check that a given Slide page element textbox contains certain text?

Alternative Solution:
You can also try using the JavaScript String includes() method as it will only check if a string includes the word you're looking for & it will disregard any new lines or spaces on the string. See this sample below:
function test() {
var slide = SlidesApp.getActivePresentation().getSlides()[0].getPageElements()[0].asShape().getText().asString();
Logger.log(slide.includes("XYZ Company"));
}
Sample:

It seems the type of textbox was adding a trailing line break, so s.getPageElements()[0].asShape().getText().asString().trim() == "XYZ Company" evaluates true

Custom Condition Formatting, how to work with a String amount based condition in a Cell

I want to format cells with a custom function.
The cells have the content like so (without the ") :
Cell_1: "String1 String2 String3"
Cell_2: ""
Cell_3: "String1 String2 String3 String4 String5 String6"
if there is at least like 5 Strings in it, separated with a space it should be a true statement.
I tried to use a custom script like so, because im calling a function in this cell anyway, before returning the value i could set the format too:
var self = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getActiveCell();
self.setFontWeight("normal");
if(returnValue.length>=5){
self.setFontWeight("bold");
}
return returnValue.sort().join(" ");
But i got a "You do not have permission to call setFontWeight" Exeption. After a little research i found that cunstom scripts are not allowed to cange format at all. Fine ... but how can i do it with the custom formatting condition
is something like this possible?:
=If(Split(?inputRange?;" ").length>=5;True;False)
If Yes how do i get the Range in the right format and which function is needed to get the String amount?
i tried also to write a custom function for that purpose:
function customFormat(input){
if(input.length>=5)
return true;
}
return false;
calling like so as custom condition:
=customFormat(range)
it seams like i cant use custom function there, i get no positiv result even than i return true always.
If you got some ideas how to accomplish this, i would be thankfull.
Assuming those three cells are in A1:A3
Apply conditional formatting to that range with the formula
=COUNTA(SPLIT(A1, " ")) >= 5

add value to current value of text input in flash AS3?

I'm trying to add value to the current value of an input text field in AS3.
EXAMPLE: I have a few buttons and each button has a value, when i click on each button, the value of that button gets copied/inserted into a text input field on the stage.
further explanation:
button 1 value is (BALL)
button 2 value is (Book)
button 3 value is (Pen)
button 4 value is (cup)
etc etc ....
I have an empty input field on the stage called rest_Text.text.
so when I click on any of the buttons above, the value of that button gets copied inot the rest_Text.text...
and the final result would be something like this in the rest_Text.text:
BALL, Book, Pen
my current code is this:
function clipClick(e:Event):void {
MovieClip(root).main.loginHolder.rest_Text.text = e.target.clickTitle;
}
the code above will delete the current value and replaces it with a new one! but i need to add each value to the current one without deleting the old value.
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
You can concatenate strings using the addition operator (+). For example:
trace(btn1.clickTitle + btn2.clickTitle + btn3.clickTitle);
//traces "BALLBookPen"
Adding on to an existing string is done with addition assignment (+=). Since you want a comma and space between each string, this is how you'd rewrite your function:
function clipClick(e:Event):void {
MovieClip(root).main.loginHolder.rest_Text.text += ", " + e.target.clickTitle;
}

How to remove a particular text in TextInput in Flash?

Design a Text Input by using components in flash and its InstanceName is listChat. In that text input I added a text by Dynamically. While I am adding text it displays with null.
For Example I added "apple" it Displays like nullapple
How to remove that null?
You can use the String's replace method.
If you want to remove only the first encounter of 'null' you can use this:
listChat.text = listChat.text.replace("null", "");
If you want to remove all encounters of 'null' this will do it:
var stripNullPattern:RegExp = /null/gi;
listChat.text = listChat.text.replace(stripNullPattern, "");
If you only want to remove null if it's in the first four characters use something like this:
if(listChat.text.substring(0, 4) == "null")
{
listChat.text = listChat.text.replace("null", "");
}

action script 3.0 a string variable that should have only number

In action script var x:String="123abc" I have to check any character, for that string.
i.e. here "abc" is that string so I give an alert that this string should contain only numbers.
How can I do that?
Do you mean to say that you would like to dispatch an alert if a string contains letters
var testVar:String = '123abc';
var pattern:RegExp = /[a-zA-Z]/g;
if( testVar.search(pattern) == -1 )
{
//all good there's no letters in here
}
else
{
//Alert, alert, letter detected!
}
the "pattern" variable is a RegularExpression that's adaptable. Here I'm only checking for letters... If you need more control, get more info about RegularExpressions or come back here with the specific filter you'd like to implement.
I think you are looking for Regular Expression support in AS3.
If the user is inputting text via a TextField then you can set the restrict property to limit the characters that can be entered into the textfield:
textFieldInstance.restrict = "0-9";

replace keyword within html string

I am looking for a way to replace keywords within a html string with a variable. At the moment i am using the following example.
returnString = Replace(message, "[CustomerName]", customerName, CompareMethod.Text)
The above will work fine if the html block is spread fully across the keyword.
eg.
<b>[CustomerName]</b>
However if the formatting of the keyword is split throughout the word, the string is not found and thus not replaced.
e.g.
<b>[Customer</b>Name]
The formatting of the string is out of my control and isn't foolproof. With this in mind what is the best approach to find a keyword within a html string?
Try using Regex expression. Create your expressions here, I used this and it works well.
http://regex-test.com/validate/javascript/js_match
Use the text property instead of innerHTML if you're using javascript to access the content. That should remove all tags from the content, you give back a clean text representation of the customer's name.
For example, if the content looks like this:
<div id="name">
<b>[Customer</b>Name]
</div>
Then accessing it's text property gives:
var name = document.getElementById("name").text;
// sets name to "[CustomerName]" without the tags
which should be easy to process. Do a regex search now if you need to.
Edit: Since you're doing this processing on the server-side, process the XML recursively and collect the text element's of each node. Since I'm not big on VB.Net, here's some pseudocode:
getNodeText(node) {
text = ""
for each node.children as child {
if child.type == TextNode {
text += child.text
}
else {
text += getNodeText(child);
}
}
return text
}
myXml = xml.load(<html>);
print getNodeText(myXml);
And then replace or whatever there is to be done!
I have found what I believe is a solution to this issue. Well in my scenario it is working.
The html input has been tweaked to place each custom field or keyword within a div with a set id. I have looped through all of the elements within the html string using mshtml and have set the inner text to the correct value when a match is found.
e.g.
Function ReplaceDetails(ByVal message As String, ByVal customerName As String) As String
Dim returnString As String = String.Empty
Dim doc As IHTMLDocument2 = New HTMLDocument
doc.write(message)
doc.close()
For Each el As IHTMLElement In doc.body.all
If (el.id = "Date") Then
el.innerText = Now.ToShortDateString
End If
If (el.id = "CustomerName") Then
el.innerText = customerName
End If
Next
returnString = doc.body.innerHTML
return returnString
Thanks for all of the input. I'm glad to have a solution to the problem.
