How to make new document and close? Need this to workaround apple automation buggy insanity. What I try is this:
var app = Application('Keynote')
var doc = app.make(new document) // How to write this correctly?
doc.close({saving: 'no'})
AppleScript and JavaScript syntax is completely different. You have to think more in terms of JavaScript
For example JXA doesn't understand make(new).
You have to create an instance from the class name (note the uppercase spelling) and then call make().
Actually the var keywords and the trailing semicolons are not needed.
keynote = Application('Keynote')
keynote.activate()
newDocument = keynote.Document().make()
Within the parentheses of Document() you can pass parameters similar to AppleScript’s with properties for example
newDocument = keynote.Document({
documentTheme: keynote.themes["Gradient"],
width:1920,
height:1080
})
AppleScript’s multiple word properties like document theme are written as one camelCased word.
To close the frontmost document write
keynote.documents[0].close()

I have been trying to translate text from HTML code. Here is an example:
var s = '<span>X stopped the</span><icon></icon><subject>breakout session</subject>'
When I try =GOOGLETRANSLATE(s,"en","fi") in Google Sheet, it also changes the tags formatting and translates tags into simple text. Whereas the translation should be only for X stopped the breakout session. But that is not the case.
Then I tried this function:
function TransLang(string){
return LanguageApp.translate(string,'en', 'fi', {contentType: 'text'});
}
This function worked well (for some time), but after that I got an error
Service invoked too many times in one day.
So I am stuck here. Is there any way that we can translate simple text of html code without translating/messing with HTML tags? Is there any regex that can avoid tags and translate all the other simple text?
I hope I am able to state my problem clearly. Please guide me if you have any suggestions. Thank you
Is the text you want always inside a single <span>? Or could there be more than one span or other element types?
This works for extracting the inner text from a single <span>:
function getSpanText() {
let s = '<span>X stopped the</span><icon></icon><subject>breakout session</subject>';
var text = s.match("(?<=<span>).+(?=<\/span>)")[0]
Logger.log(text);
return text
}
So, after a lot of digging, I have been able to find what I was looking for.
function Translator(S){
var sourceLang = "en";
var targetLang = "fi";
var url =
'https://translate.googleapis.com/translate_a/single?client=gtx&sl='
+
sourceLang +
'&tl=' +
targetLang +
'&dt=t&q=' +
encodeURI(S);
var result = JSON.parse(UrlFetchApp.fetch(url).getContentText());
return result[0][0][0];
}
This simple function calls Google translate Api and extracts the result from there. The best thing is you do not have to worry about the tags, as they are not translated by Google, so just the simple text is translated. There is just one limitation in the solution that Api calls are limited, so you can not make more than 5000 calls/day.
Why not using LanguageApp.translate as a custom JS-Function (Extensions >> AppScripts)?!
var spanish = LanguageApp.translate('This is a <strong>test</strong>',
'en', 'es', {contentType: 'html'});
// The code will generate "Esta es una <strong>prueba</strong>".
LanguageApp.translate (apidoc) accepts as fourth option a contentType, which can be text or html.
For huge tables be aware that there are daily limits (quotas)!
I'm trying to use a script to replace a particular string with a different string. I think the code is right, but I keep getting the error "Object does not allow properties to be added or changed."
Does anyone know what could be going wrong?
function searchAndReplace() {
var teams = SitesApp.getPageByUrl("https://sites.google.com/a/directory/teams");
var list = teams.getChildren();
list.forEach(function(element){
page = element.getChildren();
});
page.forEach(function(element) {
var html = element.getHtmlContent();
html.replace(/foo/, 'bar');
element.setHtmlContent = html;
});
};
Try This:
Javascript reference:
The replace() method returns a new string with some or all matches of a pattern replaced by a replacement.
I think the issue here is that forEach cannot change the array that it is called upon. From developer.mozilla.org "forEach() does not mutate the array on which it is called (although callback, if invoked, may do so)."
Try doing it with a regular loop.
I've got an API (https://datatank.stad.gent/4/cultuursportvrijetijd/kunstenplan.json)
I have a list of art spot names that I got from that API displayed on a page. (actually different lists each filtered by category)
What I want is when you click on a name, you get more information about that art spot on a separate page. How do I do this?
Here's a snippet of my code that will display a list of museums.
var list_museums='';
var list_galleries='';
var list_centers='';
var list_offspaces='';
var list_search='';
var item_name='';
var item_location='';
var item_site='';
var item_category='';
var item_info='';
for(var i=0;i<this.cultuurUtilities.length;i++)
{
var cultuur=this.cultuurUtilities[i];
var museums = cultuur.categorie=="Museum";
var galleries = cultuur.categorie=="galerie";
var centers = cultuur.categorie=="Centrum voor beeldende kunst";
var offspaces = cultuur.categorie=="Off-Spaces";
console.log("cultuur for loop");
if(museums==true){
list_museums+='<div class="museum-item"><li class="li-museums"><img class="museum-img"></img><div class="museum-link"><a href="detailpagina.html">'+cultuur.Naam;
list_museums+='</a></div></li></div>';
What I want is when you click on a name, you get more information about that art spot on a separate page
I think you mean opening a new window/tab? You can accomplish this in different ways:
1) Adding the "onclick" listener on your clickable element and write the function to be called. Inside it, you can open a new window using the "window.open" function (it opens a new window by default, so you can pass a second parameter to specify the frame where the new window/tab must be handled, because you might wanted to open the page in a new tab, not a new window. Check the docs here). It returns its handle, so you can write into it, just like you do usually in your page.
For example:
var mywindow = window.open("path_to_follow");
// The first parameter is optional. By removing it, it will give you a blank page
mywindow.document.write("<h3>My Selected Museum</h3>");
<< bunch of other instructions >>
2) Using a anchor tag with "href" attribute and the selected item identifier passed as a GET parameter. For example:
<a target="_blank" href="path_to_follow/display_page?museum_id=dinamically_set_id">Click Here to open</a>
In your "display_page" (you can name it as you like) you manage to use some server-side language (like PHP, Java, etc...) to prepare a "stub" of your page, and filling with the selected museum informations, using the museum identifier we said before.
If you need further information, just comment!
can any master of jsoup tell me some suggestions to filter html to text/string? I've tried calling text() of Document. But all tags/elements will be filtered. My aim is to filter some specified tags.
i.e: I've html text like:
<div>hello<p>world</div>,<table><tr><td>xxx</td></tr>
to get result:
<div>hello<p>world</div>,xxx
which has filtered tags.
I can't test this right now but I think you want to write a recursive function that steps through the tree and prints each node based on a condition. The following is an example of what it might look like but I expect that you will have to modify it to suit your needs more precisely.
Document doc = JSoup.parse(page_text);
recursive_print(doc.head());
recursive_print(doc.body());
...
private static Set<String> ignore = new HashSet<String>(){{
add("table");
...
}};
public static void recursive_print(Element el){
if(!ignore.contains(el.className()))
System.out.println(el.html());
for(Element child : el.children())
recursive_print(child);
}
You can use Whitelist to achieve this goal. For example:
Whitelist whiteList = new Whitelist();
whiteList.addTags("div", "p", "td");
It means that all other tags will be removed.
What I'm trying to do is parse & extract the movies title, without all the HTML gunk, from the webpage which will eventually get saved into a spreadsheet. My code:
function myFunction() {
var url = UrlFetchApp.fetch("http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=clashofthetitans2.htm")
var doc = url.getContentText()
var patt1 = doc.match(/<font face\=\"Verdana\"\ssize\=\"6\"><b>.*?<\/b>/i);
//var cleaned = patt1.replace(/^<font face\=\"Verdana\" size\=\"6\"><b>/,"");
//Logger.log(cleaned); Didn't work, get "cannot find function in object" error.
//so tried making a function below:
String.trim = function() {
return this.replace(/^\W<font face\=\"Verdana\"\ssize\=\"6\"><b>/,""); }
Logger.log(patt1.trim());
}
I'm very new to all of this (programming and GoogleScripting in general) I've been referencing w3school.com's JavaScript section but many things on there just don't work with Google Scripts. I'm just not sure what's missing here, is my RegEx wrong? Is there a better/faster way to extract this data instead of RegEx? Any help would be great, Thanks for reading!
While trying to parse information out of HTML that's not under your control is always a bit of a challenge, there is a way you could make this easier on yourself.
I noticed that the title element of each movie page also contains the movie title, like this:
<title>Wrath of the Titans (2012) - Box Office Mojo</title>
You might have more success parsing the title out of this, as it is probably more stable.
var url = UrlFetchApp.fetch("http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=clashofthetitans2.htm");
var doc = url.getContentText();
var match = content.match(/<title>(.+) \([0-9]{4}\) -/);
Logger.log("Movie title is " + match[1]);
