GetRange() give a width error after 3000 rows - csv

Question

the getrange code give the error
Incorrect Range width, was 1 but should be 5
The CSV file has 8127 rows and when I broke up the file in 8 different files each containing 1000 rows and processed them separatly they all completed without any errors. But once i process a file greater than 3000+ rows it gets the above error message.
below is the get range code
ss.getRange(lastrow + 1,1,csvData.length,csvData[0].length).setValues(csvData);
I have also tried this but this gets an error stating exceeded maximum execution time:
for (var i = 0; i < csvData.length; i++) {
ss.getRange(i + 1,1,1,csvData[i].length).setValues(new Array(csvData[i]));
}
The CSV file is 2D.
Below is the full code:
Function getCSV() {
var fSource = DriveApp.getFolderById('0B2lVvlNIDosoajRRMUwySVBPNVE'); //reports_folder_id = id of folder where csv reports are saved
var date= Utilities.formatDate(new Date(), "GMT", "dd-MM-yy");
var fi = fSource.getFilesByName('L661_BOM-CAD_07-01-16.csv');
// latest report file
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById('1V8YG8lyNZiTllEPHENcnabYRLDPCK6mHGUyAyNhW0Is').getSheet s()[0]; // data_sheet_id = id of spreadsheet that holds the data to be updated with new report data Sheet will be opened server side.
ss.getName() == "Sheet1"
if ( fi.hasNext()) { // proceed if "report.csv" file exists in the reports folder
var file = fi.next();
//file.setName('L661_BOM-CAD_'+ date +'(EXPORTED)'+'.csv');
var csv = file.getBlob().getDataAsString();
var csvData = CSVToArray(csv);
Logger.log('csvData[0].length: ' + csvData[0].length + ' csvData.length:' + csvData.length);
var lastrow = ss.getLastRow();
for (var i = 0; i < csvData.length; i++) {
ss.getRange(i + 1,1,1,csvData[i].length).setValues(new Array(csvData[i]));
}
}
if( ss.getName() == "Sheet1" ) { //checks that we're on the correct sheet
var r= ss.getRange('A1');
if( r.getColumn() == 1 ) { //checks the column
var nextCell = r.offset(0, 5);
if( nextCell.getValue() === '' ) //is empty?
var date = new Date();
var date= Utilities.formatDate(new Date(), "GMT", "dd-MM-yy");
nextCell.setValue(date); //enters the date in F1 in dd/mm/yyyy format
};
};
};
function CSVToArray( strData, strDelimiter ){
strDelimiter = (strDelimiter || ';');
var objPattern = new RegExp(
(
// Delimiters.
"(\\" + strDelimiter + "|\\r?\\n|\\r|^)" +
// Quoted fields.
"(?:\"([^\"]*(?:\"\"[^\"]*)*)\"|" +
// Standard fields.
"([^\"\\" + strDelimiter + "\\r\\n]*))"
),
"gi"
);
var arrData = [[]];
var arrMatches = null;
while (arrMatches = objPattern.exec( strData )){
// Get the delimiter that was found.
var strMatchedDelimiter = arrMatches[ 1 ];
// Check to see if the given delimiter has a length
// (is not the start of string) and if it matches
// field delimiter. If id does not, then we know
// that this delimiter is a row delimiter.
if (
strMatchedDelimiter.length &&
strMatchedDelimiter !== strDelimiter
){
// Since we have reached a new row of data,
// add an empty row to our data array.
arrData.push( [] );
}
var strMatchedValue;
// Now that we have our delimiter out of the way,
// let's check to see which kind of value we
// captured (quoted or unquoted).
if (arrMatches[ 2 ]){
// We found a quoted value. When we capture
// this value, unescape any double quotes.
strMatchedValue = arrMatches[ 2 ].replace(
new RegExp( "\"\"", "g" ),
"\""
);
} else {
// We found a non-quoted value.
strMatchedValue = arrMatches[ 3 ];
}
// Now that we have our value string, let's add
// it to the data array.
arrData[ arrData.length - 1 ].push( strMatchedValue );
Logger.log('arrData[0].length: ' + arrData[0].length);
}
// Return the parsed data.
return( arrData );
}

Check the value of csvData[0].length again. It says length should be 5 but it gives 1.
Since it has more than 3000 records, it will exceed maximum execution time. setting values will take much time when it is on a loop. What you want to do is first get the values to an array and set them once later.
var myvalueArray = [];
for (var i = 0; i < csvData.length; i++) {
// do not set value here
//ss.getRange(i + 1,1,1,csvData[i].length).setValues(new Array(csvData[i]));
//push your values to an array
myvalueArray.push(csvData[i]);
}
once you push your values to defined array, set them once on your range.
ss.getRange(1,1,1,csvData[i].length).setValues(myvalueArray);
