trouble replacing keys in a document with spreadsheet data - google-apps-script

Question

i'm writing a script that will take data from a spreadsheet and replace text keys on a document, adding one duplicated page to the document for each row of data on the spreadsheet.
the script was working properly when i created some test arrays with dummy data but it's not working when i try to pull the data from the spreadsheet.
function requestGen3() {
var templateDocID = ScriptProperties.getProperty("backRxRequestDocID");
// go back to variable below after testing
//var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
var sheets = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheets();
var sheet = sheets[3];
var activeSheetName = sheet.getName();
var range = sheet.getRange(2, 1, sheet.getMaxRows() - 1, sheet.getMaxColumns());
var user = Session.getUser().getEmail();
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// the problem seems to be somewhere between here....
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// For every row of employee data, generate an employee object.
var ptObjects = getRowsData(sheet, range);
// Get document template, copy it as a new temp doc, and save the Doc’s id
var docID = DocsList.getFileById(templateDocID).makeCopy().getId();
var doc = DocumentApp.openById(docID);
var body = doc.getActiveSection();
var pars = doc.getParagraphs();
for( var i in pars ) //loop to keep a copy of the original paragraphs
pars[i] = pars[i].copy();
// Create an array for every row object
for (var i = 0; i < ptObjects.length; ++i) {
// Get a row object
var rowData = ptObjects[i];
for (var i = 0; i < rowData.length; ++i) {
// Replace place holder keys,
body.replaceText('%PHYS_NAME%', rowData.physName[i]);
body.replaceText('%PHYS_ADDR1%', rowData.physAddr1[i]);
body.replaceText('%PHYS_ADDR2%', rowData.physAddr2[i]);
body.replaceText('%PHYS_CITY%', rowData.physCity[i]);
body.replaceText('%PHYS_STATE%', rowData.physState[i]);
body.replaceText('%PHYS_ZIP%', rowData.physZip[i]);
body.replaceText('%PHYS_PHONE%', rowData.physPhone[i]);
body.replaceText('%PT_NAME%', rowData.firstName[i]);
body.replaceText('%PT_DOB%', rowData.ptDOB[i]);
if( i != physName.length-1 ) { //has next?
doc.appendPageBreak();
for( var j in pars )
doc.appendParagraph(pars[j].copy());
}
}
}
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// ...... and here
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Save and close the document
doc.saveAndClose();
}
the other functions referenced are from the "reading data from a spreadsheet" tutorial. when i debug the script it seems like the ptObjects and rowData variables contain the right information but it is not replacing the keys (which are formatted %KEY_NAME%) in the document properly. i'm fairly new to this so there may be some obvious mistakes.
any help would be very much appreciated

Answer 1

This looks like it could a simple problem assuming that the getRowsData function is the one described in the Reading Spreadsheet Data tutorial from the Apps Script Articles site.
That being the case, rowData.physName[i] should simply be rowData.physName.
