take the substring out of string in salesforce - html

I am creating the HTML template in Salesforce and below is the value I am fetching from one field that is building address. However, I just need the building number from the entire address. Below is the scenario.
“Václavské náměstí 785/28, P1 - Alfa Building”, this is the text and I want to extract the only the number i.e 785/28. But the thing is the numbers before and after the ‘/’ varies it can be more than 3 or 2 digits. Trim Left and Right work but can't seem to specify the values dynamically.
Thanks

Please find the code for your above concern. It is in javascript only.
<script>
function myFunction() {
var str = "sdfdfv123456/789xvxcv"; // pass your string over here
var revstr = reverseString(str);
var firstDigit = str.match(/\d/)
var lastDigit = revstr.match(/\d/)
var findex = str.indexOf(firstDigit);
var lindex = str.length - revstr.indexOf(lastDigit);
function reverseString(str) {
if (str === "")
return "";
else
return reverseString(str.substr(1)) + str.charAt(0);
}
var sub_string = str.substring (findex, lindex);
alert(sub_string) ;
}
</script>
If any confusion please let me know.

XmlService.parse() not able to handle HTML tables

I am looking for help from this community regarding the below issue.
// I am searching my Gmail inbox for a specific email
function getWeeklyEmail() {
var emailFilter = 'newer_than:7d AND label:inbox AND "Report: Launchpad filter"';
var threads = GmailApp.search(emailFilter, 0, 5);
var messages=[];
threads.forEach(function(threads)
{
messages.push(threads.getMessages()[0]);
});
return messages;
}
// Trying to parse the HTML table contained within the email
function getParsedMsg() {
var messages = getWeeklyEmail();
var msgbody = messages[0].getBody();
var doc = XmlService.parse(msgbody);
var html = doc.getRootElement();
var tables = doc.getDescendants();
var templ = HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile('Messages1');
templ.tables = [];
return templ.evaluate();
}
The debugger crashes when I try to step over the XmlService.parse function. The msgbody of the email contains both text and HTML formatted table. I am getting the following error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'getBody' of undefined (line 19, file "Code")
If I remove the getParsedMsg function and instead just display the content of the email, I get the email body along with the element tags etc in html format.
Workaround
Hi ! The issue you are experiencing is due to (as you previously mentioned) XmlService only recognising canonical XML rather than HTML. One possible workaround to solve this issue is to search in the string you are obtaining with getBody() for your desired tags.
In your case your main issue is var doc = XmlService.parse(msgbody);. To solve it you could iterate through the whole string looking for the table tags you need using Javascript search method. Here is an example piece of code retrieving an email with a single table:
function getWeeklyEmail() {
var emailFilter = 'newer_than:7d AND label:inbox AND "Report: Launchpad filter"';
var threads = GmailApp.search(emailFilter, 0, 5);
var messages=[];
threads.forEach(function(threads)
{
messages.push(threads.getMessages()[0]);
});
return messages;
}
// Trying to parse the HTML table contained within the email
function getParsedMsg() {
var messages = getWeeklyEmail();
var msgbody = messages[0].getBody();
var indexOrigin = msgbody.search('<table');
var indexEnd = msgbody.search('</table');
// Get what is in between those indexes of the string.
// I am adding 8 as it indexEnd only gets the first index of </table
// i.e the one before <
var Table = msgbody.substring(indexOrigin,indexEnd+8);
Logger.log(Table);
}
If you are looking for more than one table in your message, you can change getParsedMsg to the following:
function getParsedMsg() {
// If you are not sure about how many you would be expecting, use an approximate number
var totalTables = 2;
var messages = getWeeklyEmail();
var msgbody = messages[0].getBody();
var indexOrigin = msgbody.indexOf('<table');
var indexEnd = msgbody.indexOf('</table');
var Table = []
for(i=0;i<totalTables;i++){
// go over each stable and store their strings in elements of an array
var start = msgbody.indexOf('<table', (indexOrigin + i))
var end = msgbody.indexOf('</table', (indexEnd + i))
Table.push(msgbody.substring(start,end+8));
}
Logger.log(Table);
}
This will let you store each table in an element of an array. If you want to use these you would just need to retrieve the elements of this array and use them accordingly (for exaple to use them as HTML tables.
I hope this has helped you. Let me know if you need anything else or if you did not understood something. :)

Pulling PubMed data into Google Sheets

I'm looking for some help. I am trying to grab an author's publications from PubMed and populate the data into Google Sheets using Apps Script. I've gotten as far as the code below and am now stuck.
Basically, what I have done was first pull all the Pubmed IDs from a particular author whose name comes from the name of the sheet. Then I have tried creating a loop to go through each Pubmed ID JSON summary and pull each field I want. I have been able to pull the pub date. I had set it up with the idea that I would do a loop for each field of that PMID I want, store it in an array, and then return it to my sheet. However, I'm now stuck trying to get the second field - title - and all the subsequent fields (e.g. authors, last author, first author, etc.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
function IMPORTPMID(){
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
var author = sheet.getSheetName();
var url = ("https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/esearch.fcgi?db=pubmed&term=" + author + "[author]&retmode=json&retmax=1000");
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url);
var AllAuthorPMID = JSON.parse(response.getContentText());
var xpath = "esearchresult/idlist";
var patharray = xpath.split("/");
for (var i = 0; i < patharray.length; i++) {
AllAuthorPMID = AllAuthorPMID[patharray[i]];
}
var PMID = AllAuthorPMID;
var PDparsearray = [PMID.length];
var titleparsearray = [PMID.length];
for (var x = 0; x < PMID.length; x++) {
var urlsum = ("https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/esummary.fcgi?db=pubmed&retmode=json&rettype=abstract&id=" + PMID[x]);
var ressum = UrlFetchApp.fetch(urlsum);
var contentsum = ressum.getContentText();
var jsonsum = JSON.parse(contentsum);
var PDpath = "result/" + PMID[x] + "/pubdate";
var titlepath = "result/" + PMID[x] + "/title";
var PDpatharray = PDpath.split("/");
var titlepatharray = titlepath.split("/");
for (var j = 0; j < PDpatharray.length; j++) {
var jsonsum = jsonsum[PDpatharray[j]];
}
PDparsearray[x] = jsonsum;
}
var tempArr = [];
for (var obj in AllAuthorPMID) {
tempArr.push([obj, AllAuthorPMID[obj], PDparsearray[obj]]);
}
return tempArr;
}
From a PubMed JSON response for a given PubMed ID, you should be able to determine the fieldnames (and paths to them) that you want to include in your summary report. Reading them all is simpler to implement if they are all at the same level, but if some are properties of a sub-field, you can still access them if you give the right path in your setup.
Consider the "source JSON":
[
{ "pubMedId": "1234",
"name": "Jay Sahn",
"publications": [
{ "pubId": "abcd",
"issn": "A1B2C3",
"title": "Dynamic JSON Parsing: A Journey into Madness",
"authors": [
{ "pubMedId": "1234" },
{ "pubMedId": "2345" }
]
},
{ "pubId": "efgh",
...
},
...
],
...
},
...
]
The pubId and issn fields would be at the same level, while the publications and authors would not.
You can retrieve both the pubMedId and publications fields (and others you desire) in the same loop by either 1) hard-coding the field access, or 2) writing code that parses a field path and supplying field paths.
Option 1 is likely to be faster, but much less flexible if you suddenly want to get a new field, since you have to remember how to write the code to access that field, along with where to insert it, etc. God save you if the API changes.
Option 2 is harder to get right, but once right, will (should) work for any field you (properly) specify. Getting a new field is as easy as writing the path to it in the relevant config variable. There are possibly libraries that will do this for you.
To convert the above into spreadsheet rows (one per pubMedId in the outer array, e.g. the IDs you queried their API for), consider this example code:
function foo() {
const sheet = /* get a sheet reference somehow */;
const resp = UrlFetchApp.fetch(...).getContentText();
const data = JSON.parse(resp);
// paths relative to the outermost field, which for the imaginary source is an array of "author" objects
const fields = ['pubMedId', 'name', 'publications/pubId', 'publications/title', 'publications/authors/pubMedId'];
const output = data.map(function (author) {
var row = fields.map(function (f) {
var desiredField = f.split('/').reduce(delve_, author);
return JSON.stringify(desiredField);
});
return row;
});
sheet.getRange(1, 1, output.length, output[0].length).setValues(output);
}
function delve_(parentObj, property, i, fullPath) {
// Dive into the given object to get the path. If the parent is an array, access its elements.
if (parentObj === undefined)
return;
// Simple case: parentObj is an Object, and property exists.
const child = parentObj[property];
if (child)
return child;
// Not a direct property / index, so perhaps a property on an object in an Array.
if (parentObj.constructor === Array)
return collate_(parentObj, fullPath.splice(i));
console.warn({message: "Unhandled case / missing property",
args: {parent: parentObj, prop: property, index: i, pathArray: fullPath}});
return; // property didn't exist, user error.
}
function collate_(arr, fields) {
// Obtain the given property from all elements of the array.
const results = arr.map(function (element) {
return fields.slice().reduce(delve_, element);
});
return results;
}
Executing this yields the following output in Stackdriver:
Obviously you probably want some different (aka real) fields, and probably have other ideas for how to report them, so I leave that portion up to the reader.
Anyone with improvements to the above is welcome to submit a PR.

Remove duplicates values in array Google Apps Script

I would like to know how to remove duplicates values from 2 arrays, combined into one main array.
This values must NOT be removed from the sheets or document, just in the array, thats why I didnt use clear() or clearContents() built in functions;
Ive also tried to modify the removeDuplicates() function from the GAS tutorials, but it throws me rows inside columns from A to Z, instead filtered rows...a total mess.
Notes:
Parameters from getClients() are from others functions, and works ok.
newClients list clients from the sheet 'Users' and newUsers list users from another sheet called 'Data'.
Boths sheets belongs to the same spreadsheet.
newClients and newUsers: both arrays only contains strings (usernames), and in both there are duplicated values.
So the goal is identified and remove those values, the original and the duplicate.
Should be easier I think, but Im new in JS, so everything Ive been tried, didnt worked.
Thanks
The Code
function getAllClientsFromData(body,project){
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
// Active the Sheets
var sheet= ss.getSheets()[1,3];
// Access data in Sheet "Data"
var rangeC = ss.getRangeByName("clients"); //A:2:C273
var rangeU = ss.getRangeByName("names"); //A5:A
var clients = rangeC.getValues();
var users = rangeU.getValues();
var lastRow = sheet.getLastRow()-2;
body += "<h2>Total of " + lastRow + " clients in " + project + "</h2>"
body += "<table style=" + STYLE.TABLE + ">";
body += getClients(ss,clients,users,project);
body += "</table>";
return body;
}
function getClients(ss,clients,users,project){
var body = "";
var newClients = [];
for( var g = 0; g < clients.length; g++ ){
var currentProject = clients[g][2];
if( clients[g]!= "" ){
newClients.push(clients[g][0]);
}
} // end for
var newUsers = [];
for( var u = 0; u < users.length; u++ ){
if( users[u] != "" ){
newUsers.push(users[u][0]);
}
} // end for
var allData = newUsers.concat(newClients);
var uniqueData = allData.sort();
body += "<tr><td style=" + STYLE.TD + ">" + uniqueData.join("</td><tr><td style=" + STYLE.TD + ">") + "</td></tr></tr>";
return body;
}
UPDATES!
The answers works great filtering, but Im getting the same result as on my previous tries: displaying the filtered results. I need to remove them from the array. example:
var array = ['aa','bb','aa','ff','pp', 'pp'];
filtering code...
var array = ['bb','ff'];
I try to add splice() js method but the params I pass, does not working ok.
The array you are working on is not a 2D array anymore since you extracted the fields before sorting... so you can use a very simple duplicate removal function as shown below with an example and some added Logger.log to see how it works.
function test(){
var array = ['aa','bb','cc','aa','dd','cc']
Logger.log(removeDups(array));
}
function removeDups(array) {
var outArray = [];
array.sort():
outArray.push(array[0]);
for(var n in array){
Logger.log(outArray[outArray.length-1]+' = '+array[n]+' ?');
if(outArray[outArray.length-1]!=array[n]){
outArray.push(array[n]);
}
}
return outArray;
}
in your code this would replace the line
var uniqueData = allData.sort();
that would become :
var uniqueData = removeDups(allData);
EDIT :
If letter case is an issue, you can modify this code to ignore it. You should change the condition and the sort function so that they both ignore the case in your names but preferably keep the original letter case.
This could be achieved with the code below :
function test(){
var array = ['aa','bb','Cc','AA','dd','CC'];// an example with Upper and Lower case
Logger.log(removeDups(array));
}
function removeDups(array) {
var outArray = [];
array.sort(lowerCase);
function lowerCase(a,b){
return a.toLowerCase()>b.toLowerCase() ? 1 : -1;// sort function that does not "see" letter case
}
outArray.push(array[0]);
for(var n in array){
Logger.log(outArray[outArray.length-1]+' = '+array[n]+' ?');
if(outArray[outArray.length-1].toLowerCase()!=array[n].toLowerCase()){
outArray.push(array[n]);
}
}
return outArray;
}
Logger result :
EDIT 2 :
Here is another version that keeps only unique values (I didn't understand correctly your request in the first version as it kept one element from the duplicates...)
I simply added an else if condition to remove the elements that were part of a group of duplicates.(I kept the case insensitive version but you can remove it easily)
function test(){
var array = ['aa','dd','hh','aa','bb','Cc','cc','cc','bb','nn','bb','AA','dd','CC'];// an example with Upper and Lower case
Logger.log('original array = '+array);
Logger.log('unique result = '+removeDups2(array));
}
function removeDups2(array) {
var uniqueArray = []
array.sort(lowerCase);
function lowerCase(a,b){
return a.toLowerCase()>b.toLowerCase() ? 1 : -1;// sort function that does not "see" letter case
}
var temp = array[0];
for(var n=1 ;n<array.length ; n++){
Logger.log(temp+' = '+array[n]+' ?');
if(temp.toLowerCase()!=array[n].toLowerCase()){
uniqueArray.push(array[n]);
temp = array[n];
}else if(uniqueArray[uniqueArray.length-1]==temp){
uniqueArray.pop();// remove it from result if one of the duplicate values
}
}
return uniqueArray;
}
Logger result new code :
In your code you are not doing anything to filter the duplicate values.
This line will just sort the data and won't give you unique data.
var uniqueData = allData.sort();
You can do something like this on your merged array, after you 'installing' 2DArray lib: https://sites.google.com/site/scriptsexamples/custom-methods/2d-arrays-library
var uniqueData = unique(allData);
Another option is to create a loop and check for duplicate values, but you should remember to transform all the values of the string to lowercase before you do these matches.
I created this function and it worked.
function removeDups(data) {
var newData = [];
data.forEach(function(value) {
if (newData.indexOf(value) == -1) {
newData.push(value);
}
});
return newData;
}
Yet another solution:
function removeDups(array) {
array.sort()
var lastValue = !array[0]
var outArray = array.filter(function(value) {
if (value == lastValue)
return false
lastValue = value
return true
})
return outArray
}
This also works correctly for empty arrays whereas some earlier solutions yield [null] in this special case.

How to create document from data array

I have FlexTable with chekBoxes in first cell of each row, when checkBox is true data from FlexTable's row is collected in variable. Now I need to create document with table that contains table with data from variable. I tried to store string's value in Hidden but it doesn't work and can't figure out how to realise it.
All my (although the code is not really my, code is almost half #Sergeinsas's) code is avaliable here: http://pastebin.com/aYmyA7N2, thankyou in advance.
There are a few errors in your code... widgets like hidden can only have string values and they can only return string values when you retrieve their values.
One possible and easy way to convert arrays to string (and back) is to use a combination of join() and split() , here is the modified code (relevant part only) that works.
// Storing checked rows
function check(e) {
var checkedArray = [];
var data = sh.getRange(1,1,lastrow,lastcol).getValues();
for(var n=0; n < data.length;++n){
if(e.parameter['check'+n]=='true'){
checkedArray.push(data[n].join(','));// convert data row array to string with comma separator
}
}
var hidden = app.getElementById('hidden');
hidden.setValue(checkedArray.join('|'));// convert array to string with | separator
return app;
}
function click(e) {
var hiddenVal = e.parameter.hidden.split('|');// e.parameter.hidden is a string, split back in an array of strings, each string should be splitted too to get the original array of arrays
var d = new Date();
var time = d.toLocaleTimeString();
var table = []
for(var n in hiddenVal){
table.push(hiddenVal[n].split(','));// reconstruction of a 2D array
}
DocumentApp.create('doc '+time).getBody().appendTable(table);// the table is in the document
}
Full code available here
EDIT : suggestion : if you put your headers in your spreadsheet you could retrieve them in your final table quite easily like this :
function check(e) {
var checkedArray = [];
var data = sh.getRange(1,1,lastrow,lastcol).getValues();
checkedArray.push(data[0].join(','));// if you have headers in your spreadsheet, you could add headers by default
for(var n=0; n < data.length;++n){
if(e.parameter['check'+n]=='true'){
checkedArray.push(data[n].join(','));
}
}
You could also use data[0] in the doGet function to build the header of your UI, I think this would make your code more easy to maintain without hardcoding of data.... but this is only a suggestion ;-)

Need to edit gdoc using a googleappscript

Is it possible that I could add the body of a gdoc into an email? I kinda have an idea of how to do it but I am not completely sure. I have written this code below to kinda help me. I am new to this and I have managed to have a few scripts running, but I am completely lost on this one. I have watched several videos and this is what I was able to do. The code is below.
Basically what I want to do is to be able to have a user input his name and another variable and then go to the google doc file and change it to the value that was input and then put it back in an email and send it to an address... Any ideas of what I am doing wrong or where should I start?? Thanks in advance.
function gsnot() {
var emailaddress="albdominguez25#gmail.net";
var sub="Subject1";
var pattern = Browser.inputBox("Enter your name");
var pattern2 = Browser.inputBox("Enter the minutes:");
var templateDocID= ScriptProperties.getProperty("EmailTemplateDocId");
var doc = DocumentApp.openById(templateDocID);
var body = doc.getActiveSection()
var html = "";
var keys = {
name: pattern,
min: pattern2,
};
for ( var k in keys ) {
body.replaceText("%" + k + "%", keys[k]);
doc.saveAndClose();
html = getDocAsHtml(docId);
DocsList.getFileById(docId).setTrashed(true);
return html;
var emailaddress="albdominguez25#gmail.net";
var sub="Subject1";
MailApp.sendEmail(emailaddress,sub, {htmlBody: body});}}
You might want to change your code by reading the body from the document into a variable, doing the replace on the variable and inserting that into your email. For example:
function gsnot() {
var emailaddress = "albdominguez25#gmail.net";
var sub = "New Subject";
var pattern = Browser.inputBox("Enter your name:");
var pattern2 = Browser.inputBox("Enter the minutes:");
var templateDocID = ScriptProperties.getProperty("EmailTemplateDocId");
var doc = DocumentApp.openById(templateDocID);
var body = doc.getText();
var replacement;
var k;
var keys = {
name: pattern,
min: pattern2
};
for (k in keys) {
if (keys.hasOwnProperty(k)) {
replacement = new RegExp("%" + k + "%",'g');
body = body.replace(replacement, keys[k]);
}
}
MailApp.sendEmail(emailaddress,sub, '', {htmlBody: body});
}
A few notes:
It is good form to have all your var statements at the beginning of
the function
When you use for-in (eg. for (k in keys) ), it returns all properties of the object. You only want the ones you assigned. This is the reason for: for (k in keys)
You had the mail sending for each property, I believe you wanted it outside the for-in loop so it only sent after all the replacements were completed.
Using replace(), you need to create a regular expression object that is set to global
or it will only replace the first instance of the pattern (you have name twice).
In your parameters for sendEmail(), even if you are using the htmlBody option, you need to specify a plain text body. I used empty quotes ''.
