I want to split up a document by quotation it's marks. I see (here) that they're able to fake this answer by adding a '\' at the beginning of the quotation mark, however in my document there are hundreds of these strings I'm trying to cut string out of, so changing that manually would be a real pain and time taker.
Here's an example of the string I'm trying to cut from:
D
And here's an example of my current code:
private function onShopTextLoaded(e:Event):void
{
shopArrayOfWebsites = e.target.data.split(/\n/);
for (var i:String in shopArrayOfWebsites)
{
trace("shopArrayOriginal: " + shopArrayOfWebsites[i]);
var arrayString:String = shopArrayOfWebsites[i].split('"' /* << that won't work */ );
trace(arrayString[1]);
//shopArrayOfWebsites[i] = arrayString[1];
}
}
private function postInShopView():void
{
var iLevel:Number = 1;
var iSection:Number = 1;
var iShop:Number = 0;
for (var i:String in shopArrayOfWebsites)
{
iShop++;
if(iShop >= 5)
{
iSection++;
iShop = 0;
}
if(iSection >= 5)
{
iLevel++;
iSection = 1;
}
var shopStringEquiv:String = "L" + iLevel.toString() + "S" + iSection.toString() + "Shop" + iShop.toString();
if(global.shopTarget == shopStringEquiv)
{
var result:uint = ExternalInterface.call("showShopFrame", shopArrayOfWebsites[i]);
}
//trace(shopStringEquiv);
//trace(shopArrayOfWebsites[i]);
}
}
I get an error of:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property 1 not found on String and there is no default value.
So from here I'm not quite sure how I'm able to split up this document. Any ideas? Thanks!

I'm trying to return the words in a text selection as a string in google docs. I can't figure out how to return anything other than the entire body of text in an element, and it seems like the smallest element is a paragraph. I ned smaller.
Attempt 1:
function printSelection1 () {
var string = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getText();
Logger.log(string);
}
This returns the entire body of the document, rather than the selection, as a string.
Attempt 2:
function printSelection2 () {
var selection = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getSelection();
var string =selection.asString();
Logger.log(string);
}
Error message: "TypeError: selection.asString is not a function."
Attempt 3:
function printSelection4 () {
var selection = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getSelection();
var getelements =selection.getSelectedElements();
var string = getelements.toString();
Logger.log(string);
}
This returns the string "RangeElement," rather than the string of the selection itself.
I feel like I'm close. Or maybe I'm not?
Use Document.getSelection() to get the selected Range and Range.getRangeElements() to get the elements in the Range, including any Text elements therein.
You are saying that you want to get "only the individual words that are selected." To get text that spans just a portion of an element, such as in the start and end of the selection, use RangeElement.isPartial() together with RangeElement.getStartOffset() and RangeElement.getEndOffsetInclusive(). When isPartial() returns false, you can use RangeElement.getElement().asText().getText() to get all the text in the element.
Here's an example of how to do this:
function printSelection() {
const selectedText = getSelectedText();
console.log(selectedText ? `The selected text is "${selectedText}".` : `No text is selected.`);
}
/**
* Gets the currently selected text in a document.
*
* #param {DocumentApp.Range} range Optional. The document range where to get text. Defaults to currently selected text.
* #return {String} The text in range joined with newlines, or an empty string when the range does not contain text.
*/
function getSelectedText(range = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getSelection()) {
const result = [];
if (range) {
range.getRangeElements().forEach(rangeElement => {
if (rangeElement.isPartial()) {
const startIndex = rangeElement.getStartOffset();
const endIndex = rangeElement.getEndOffsetInclusive();
result.push(rangeElement.getElement().asText().getText().substring(startIndex, endIndex + 1));
} else {
const element = rangeElement.getElement();
if (element.editAsText) {
const elementText = element.asText().getText();
if (elementText) {
result.push(elementText);
}
}
}
});
}
return result.length ? result.join('\n') : '';
}
This example is based on the partially outdated Docs quickstart.
This should help.
function getSelectedText() {
var text = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument()
.getSelection()
.getRangeElements()
.map((element) => element.getElement().asText().getText())
.join(" ");
Logger.log(text);
}
Would something like this suffice:
function printSelection() {
var selection = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getSelection();
if (selection) {
var range = selection.getRange();
var string = range.getText();
Logger.log(string);
} else {
Logger.log("No text is selected.");
}
}
EDIT: Judging by the error, it seems that getRange() is not available for the seleciton object...
You can try to use the getStartOffset() and getEndOffset():
function printSelection() {
var selection = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getSelection();
if (selection) {
var startIndex = selection.getStartOffset();
var endIndex = selection.getEndOffset();
var document = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument();
var string = document.getText().substring(startIndex, endIndex);
Logger.log(string);
} else {
Logger.log("No text is selected.");
}
}
Based on previous answers, improved for multi paragraph selection :
function printSelect() {
const r = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getSelection();
if (!r) {
return;
}
const tab = r.getRangeElements();
var output = "";
for (let x = 0; x < tab.length; x++) {
let start = tab[x].getStartOffset();
let end = tab[x].getEndOffsetInclusive();
let selection = tab[x].getElement().getText().substring(start, end);
output += selection || "\n\n"; //if selection is null == paragraph, so add double \n
}
Logger.log(output);
}
I am new to Google Sheet scripting.
I am writing a code to strip the sixth components from a long text that is based on a naming convention. The text have 6 parts all separated by an underscore. However, my code is not returning anything
function RetailerStrip(account) {
var count = 0;
var retname = "";
var retcount = 0;
for(var i = 0, len = account.length; i < len; i++) {
if (account[i] =="_") {
++count;
}
if (count == 5) {
retname[retcount]= account[i];
++retcount;
}
}
return retname;
}
I then call this function from sheet as below
=RetailerStrip("abc_def_ghi_jkl_mno_pqr")
When I tried to declare 'retname' as an array the function did return the required text (fifth component) but the text was spread across multiple cells with on character in each cell, and not as a single string in one cell
var retname = [];
Please help
You could try this:
function RetailerStrip(str) { return str.split('_')[5]; }
The split() method creates an array.
But if you prefer to stick with the string-iteration method, you could use this:
function RetailerStrip(account) {
var count = 0;
var retname = []; // Array
var retcount = 0;
for (var i = 0, len = account.length; i < len; i++) {
if (account[i] =="_") {
++count;
}
if (count == 4) {
retname[retcount]= account[i];
++retcount;
}
}
retname.shift(); // To get rid of the underscore from the array
var retnameString = retname.join(''); // To convert the array to a string
return retnameString;
}
In apps script I want to obtain formatted 'number' strings. The input is an unformatted number. With an earlier answer posted by #slandau, I thought I had found a solution by modifying his code (see code snippet). It works in codepen, but not when I am using apps script.
1. Does anyone know what went wrong here?
2. I noticed this code works except when entering a number ending in .0, in that case the return value is also .0 but should be .00. I would like some help fixing that too.
Thanks!
I have tried to look for type coercion issues, but wasn't able to get it down. I am fairly new to coding.
function commaFormatted(amount)
{
var delimiter = ","; // replace comma if desired
var a = amount.split('.', 2);
var preD = a[1]/(Math.pow(10,a[1].length-2));
var d = Math.round(preD);
var i = parseInt(a[0]);
if(isNaN(i)) { return ''; }
var minus = '';
if(i < 0) { minus = '-'; }
i = Math.abs(i);
var n = new String(i);
var a = [];
while(n.length > 3)
{
var nn = n.substr(n.length-3);
a.unshift(nn);
n = n.substr(0,n.length-3);
}
if(n.length > 0) { a.unshift(n); }
n = a.join(delimiter);
if(d.length < 1) { amount = n; }
else { amount = n + '.' + d; }
amount = minus + amount;
return amount;
}
console.log(commaFormatted('100000.3532'))
The expected result would be 100,000.35.
I am getting this in the IDE of codepen, but in GAS IDE is stops at the .split() method => not a function. When converting var a to a string = I am not getting ["100000", "3532"] when logging var a. Instead I am getting 100000 and was expecting 3532.
Based on this answer, your function can be rewritten to
function commaFormatted(amount)
{
var inputAmount;
if (typeof(amount) == 'string') {
inputAmount = amount;
} else if (typeof(amount) == 'float') {
inputAmount = amount.toString();
}
//--- we expect the input amount is a String
// to make is easier, round the decimal part first
var roundedAmount = parseFloat(amount).toFixed(2);
//--- now split it and add the commas
var parts = roundedAmount.split(".");
parts[0] = parts[0].replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ",");
return parts.join(".");
}
console.log(commaFormatted(100000.3532));
console.log(commaFormatted('1234567.3532'));
I am using the Flex SDK and able to capitalise the first letter of every word as follows:
textInput.text.toLowerCase().replace(/\b./g,function(...m):String{return m[0].toUpperCase()})
This works fine, however letters after punctuation are also being capitalised, which works in some cases (e.g. O'Neil) but not others (e.g. Connah'S Quay).
I want to have the code only look at letters at the start of a string and letters after a space. Can anyone provide the correct code to use in this instance please?
This snippet might help:
function firstLetterUpperCase(strData:String):String
{
var strArray:Array = strData.split(' ');
var newArray:Array = [];
for (var str:String in strArray)
{
newArray.push(strArray[str].charAt(0).toUpperCase() + strArray[str].slice(1));
}
return newArray.join(' ');
}
//testing
var strs = "Testing cases (e.g. o'Neil) and others (e.g. connah's quay)."
trace(firstLetterUpperCase(strs));
Result is:
//Testing Cases (e.g. O'Neil) And Others (e.g. Connah's Quay).
If you prefer, try this regex:
/(^| )./g
private function capitalise(s:String):String
{
var strArray:Array = s.split(' ');
var newArray:Array = new Array();
for each (var str:String in strArray)
newArray.push(str.charAt(0).toUpperCase()+str.slice(1));
return newArray.join(' ');
}
trace(capitalise("this is a test - o'Neil - connah's quay"));
// Output: This Is A Test - O'Neil - Connah's Quay
var test = "thIS is a test ansWER to stack OVERFlow";
function process(sentence) {
var words = sentence.split(" ");
var processed = '';
for(var i=0; i < words.length; i++) {
processed += words[i].substr(0,1).toUpperCase() +
words[i].substr(1).toLowerCase();
if(i < words.length-1) {
processed += " ";
}
}
return processed;
}
console.log(process(test));
var input = "i aM tHe kiNG";
capitalised = capitalize(input);
function capitalize(input)
{
var splited = input.split(" ");
//console.log(splited);
var output = Array();
for (i in splited)
{
//convert each letter into lower case
var temp = splited[i].toLowerCase();
//Convert the first char upper case and join with the rest letters of word.
temp = temp.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + temp.substring(1);
//store the word in the array
output.push(temp);
}
//join the words
return output.join(" ");
}
The output will be: I Am The King
Given the following example SWF:
Sample
Notice how with the words "enthusiast" at the end of the first line and "write" at the end of the second line, that they start to type out on the first line but after a few letters they are bumped.
I understand this is the correct behavior, but is there a way for "enthusiast" to begin being typed on the second line, and "write" on the third line instead of being bumped during the typing?
Currently I am thinking of doing a search ahead mechanism, so it finds the next word in whole, then makes that the active word to print, temporarily print it, see if it increases the numlines, and if it does insert a line break and continue writing. But it seems fiddly.
Code below:
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.events.Event;
var tt:TextField = new TextField();
tt.wordWrap = true;
tt.width = 200;
tt.height = 50;
tt.border = true;
var s = "Stack Overflow is for professional and enthusiast programmers, people who write code because they love it. We feel the best Stack Overflow questions have a bit of source code in them, but if your question generally covers";
addChild(tt);
var currentLetter:int = 0;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnter, false, 0, true);
function onEnter(e:Event):void
{
if(currentLetter < s.length)
{
tt.appendText(s.charAt(currentLetter));
}
currentLetter++;
}
adjusted your code a bit and posted the result on wonderfl: http://wonderfl.net/c/rZkm
as #mouseas suggested i put the next word into an additional textfield measure the width and compare this to the remaining space in the current line ... if the next word doesn't fit I add a line-break and continue.
here's the code:
package {
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.events.Event;
public class FlashTest extends Sprite {
private var currentLetter:int = 0;
private var tt:TextField;
private var debug:TextField;
private var pre:TextField;
private var s:String;
public function FlashTest()
{
// write as3 code here..
tt = new TextField();
tt.wordWrap = true;
tt.width = 200;
tt.height = 150;
tt.border = true;
s = "Stack Overflow is for professional and enthusiast programmers, people who write code because they love it. We feel the best Stack Overflow questions have a bit of source code in them, but if your question generally covers";
addChild(tt);
// predraw word
pre = new TextField();
pre.y = 150;
pre.width = 200;
pre.height = 50;
pre.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
pre.border = true;
addChild(pre);
// debug txt
debug = new TextField();
debug.x = 250;
debug.wordWrap = true;
debug.width = 200;
debug.height = 500;
debug.border = true;
addChild(debug);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnter, false, 0, true);
}
private function onEnter(e:Event):void
{
//debug.appendText("char: " + rect.x + " " + rect.width + "\n");
var c:String = "";
if (currentLetter < s.length)
{
c = s.charAt(currentLetter);
tt.appendText(c);
}
else
{
debug.appendText("DONE! \n");
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnter);
}
if (c == " ")
{
var rect:Rectangle = tt.getCharBoundaries(currentLetter-1);
if (rect != null)
{
//debug.appendText("char: " + rect + "\n");
var cPos:int = rect.x + rect.width;
var r:int = tt.width - 4 - cPos; // 4px for gutter on left+right side of textfield
var start:int = s.lastIndexOf(" ", currentLetter);
var end:int = s.indexOf(" ", currentLetter+1);
if (start < 0) start = 0;
pre.text = s.substr(start, end-start);
debug.appendText("rest: " + r + " " + pre.textWidth + " > " + pre.text + "\n");
if (r - pre.textWidth <= 0)
{
tt.appendText("\n");
debug.appendText("\n");
}
//debug.appendText("w:" + tt.textWidth + " " + start + "->"+ end + " /" + pre.text + "/ " + pre.textWidth + "\n");
}
}
++currentLetter;
}
}
}
works great - only the "a" in the 4th line makes trouble - maybe you need to finetune the calculations a bit...
