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 ;-)

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. :)
I used a function to download some selections from a Lists object as a CSV. I'd like to do the same for the entire datasource connected to the Lists object, but am unsure of how to scale this to work with, as an example, 100,000 rows. On the button to download the List data as a CSV I have:
var rows = widget.root.descendants.MainTableBody.children._values;
var csvdata = [];
csvdata.push([["Email"],["Last Login"],["Sku ID"],["Sku Name"],["Docs Added Recently"]]);
for (var i in rows) {
var t = [];
t.push(rows[i].children.EmailField.text);
t.push(rows[i].children.LastLoginField.text);
t.push(rows[i].children.SkuIdField.text);
t.push(rows[i].children.SkuNameField.text);
t.push(rows[i].children.DocsAddedField.text);
csvdata.push(t);
}
console.log(csvdata);
exportToCsv("LMexport",csvdata);
The export function is taken from this answer.I basically need the rows var to cover the entire table, but that's a lot of data.
The schema of the datasource in question:
and the calculation used:
Here's what the table looks like in the UI for reference:
Records retrieved from query are array of objects
You can use .reduce to convert them to csv
Snippet:
function exportCsv(){
var query = app.models.Employees.newQuery();
//query.filters.... use query used to populate the datasource
var records = query.run(); //[{},{},{}...]
var csv = records.reduce(function(str, rec){
var email = rec.Email;
var login = rec.LastLogin;
var skuId = rec.SkuId;
return str + '"' + [email,login,skuId].join('","') + '"\n'; // result: "email","login","skuId"\n
},'');
return csv;
}
I am importing data from a JSON file using Google Apps Script and Google Sheets. I have learned the basics on this, but the formatting on the JSON file I am attempting to parse is throwing me off.
What is confusing me is how I would search for information based on "name". Currently I am using this:
function JSONReq(url, xpath){
var res = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url);
var content = res.getContentText();
var json = JSON.parse(content);
var patharray = xpath.split("/");
for(var i = 0; i < patharray.length; i++){
json = json[patharray[i]];
}
return json;
}
I'm a bit lost now to be honest with you.
I want to have a cell where I can type a name that I already know of, then find it in the JSON file and pull the return that information however I decide to do it. I can pull and write to cells, I have the basics down. But I just can't understand how I could search by the name.
That JSON file is an array of objects. To find a specific object with a given "name", you would parse it into an object (which you do already), then iterate through them and check the name parameter:
var myName = "name of thing I want";
var arr = JSON.parse( ... );
for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; ++i) {
var obj = arr[i];
if(obj.name == myName) { // could be done as obj["name"] == ... too
// do stuff with obj
}
}
For your case, you might add an additional argument to your function (i.e. 2nd arg = the object's property, e.g. "name", with the 3rd = the desired value. This will be fine for any simple key-value properties, but would need specific handling for where the value is itself an object (e.g. the "category" field in your specific JSON file).
I am currently working on a semester project for my university in which we want to log data from an Arduino to a Google Sheet.
I was following the numerous tutorials and examples that I could find on Google and it worked so far really, really well. My Arduino is able to upload data to said spreadsheet.
Unfortunately all those examples always only deal with one row to be filled. For our project we would like to fill 2 or 3 lines simultaneously.
I will shortly show what I have done so far and maybe you can help me solve my (probably easy) problem.
I created a google spreadsheet in which I want to log my data
I used the script from a tutorial that should fill one row.
By typing the following line in my browserhttps://script.google.com/macros/s/<gscript id>/exec?tempData=datahereI am now able to fill row one with my data in enter in the end of the url.
But how do I progress now, when I want to fill two or three rows of the table? I say that the author of the code already implemented an option to fill the third row, yet I can't find out what to input in my url then to fill it with data.
All my attempts to write something like
https://script.google.com/macros/s/<gscript id>/exec?tempData=datahere&tempData1=value2
just ended in writing
datahere&tempData1=value2
in my first row, not filling datahere into the first and value2 in to the second row.
How can I provide and write multiple rows of data?
The code in this script is:
/*
GET request query:
https://script.google.com/macros/s/<gscript id>/exec?tempData=data_here
*/
/* Using spreadsheet API */
function doGet(e) {
Logger.log( JSON.stringify(e) ); // view parameters
var result = 'Ok'; // assume success
if (e.parameter == undefined) {
result = 'No Parameters';
}
else {
var id = '<ssheet id>'; // Spreadsheet ID
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById(id).getActiveSheet();
var newRow = sheet.getLastRow() + 1;
var rowData = [];
//var waktu = new Date();
rowData[0] = new Date(); // Timestamp in column A
for (var param in e.parameter) {
Logger.log('In for loop, param='+param);
var value = stripQuotes(e.parameter[param]);
//Logger.log(param + ':' + e.parameter[param]);
switch (param) {
case 'tempData': //Parameter
rowData[1] = value; //Value in column B
break;
case 'tempData1':
rowData[2] = value; //Value in column C
break;
default:
result = "unsupported parameter";
}
}
Logger.log(JSON.stringify(rowData));
// Write new row below
var newRange = sheet.getRange(newRow, 1, 1, rowData.length);
newRange.setValues([rowData]);
}
// Return result of operation
return ContentService.createTextOutput(result);
}
/**
* Remove leading and trailing single or double quotes
*/
function stripQuotes( value ) {
return value.replace(/^["']|['"]$/g, "");
}
I would suggest the following:
Create a 2d array of your data you wish to write to the spreadsheet. If your client on Arduino were using JavaScript this might look like :
var data = [
["row1value1", "row1value2"],
["row2value1", "row2value2"]
];
Convert this to JSON, again in JavaScript this might look like:
var json = JSON.stringify(data);
This gives you a string representation of your array.
Now make your request using this data. I would suggest you should look at using doPost instead of doGet, as you are sending data to the spreadsheet that updates state. However, for the purposes of getting something working, your URL would look like:
https://script.google.com/<.....>/exec?myarray=<stringified JSON>
In Apps Script, in your doGet (again, consider using doPost instead), you could then use:
// Get the JSON representation of the array:
var json = e.parameter.myarray;
// Convert back to 2d array
var data = JSON.parse(json);
Now you can write this to a Range in Sheets using setValues, e.g. assuming a rectangular 2d array:
sheet.getRange(1, 1, data.length, data[0].length).setValues(data);
Hope this helps
I have an array of objects that is created by my script and I am trying to copy that array into a new array and then store it in scriptDb using the following function:
function copyAndStore (currentArray) {
var db = ScriptDb.getMyDb();
var copyArray = [];
for (var i in currentArray) {
copyArray.push(currentArray[i]);
}
var id = db.save(copyArray);
return id;
}
It copies everything properly but when it gets to var id = db.save(copyArray); I get the error: Invalid argument. Expected a javascript map object.
Does ScriptDb have issues with storing arrays? Thanks in advance for the help.
As #Thomas said, you can save an array in a map object.
You don't need to perform a copy operation before putting an object into the ScriptDB, either. You could save your array by simply db.save({myArray}), and remember the ID.
Here's some minimalist code to demonstrate. I'm showing two ways to retrieve your saved array - one by ID, which seems to be the way you were planning to, but also a second way using a "key" value for a query. If you expect to retrieve the contents of ScriptDB in a later run of your code, this approach eliminates the need to somehow remember the ID of the stored array.
function saveArray (currentArray) {
var db = ScriptDb.getMyDb();
return db.save({type: "savedArray", data:currentArray}).getId();
}
function loadArrayById (id) {
var db = ScriptDb.getMyDb();
return db.load(id).data;
}
function loadArrayByType () {
var db = ScriptDb.getMyDb();
var result = db.query({type: "savedArray"});
if (result.hasNext()) {
return result.next().data;
}
else {
return [];
}
}
function test() {
var arr = ['this','is','a','test'];
var savedId = saveArray( arr );
var loaded1 = loadArrayById( savedId );
var loaded2 = loadArrayByType();
debugger; // pause if running debugger
}
Here's what you'll see at the debugger pause:
Note that by using the map tag data to pull the array from the saved object, both loaded1 and loaded2 are identical to the source array arr.
ScriptDb only stores map objects. You could however store a map that contains an array!
You can use arrays to save several objects in a single call using db.saveBatch.
