How can I get the most recent image that was added to a folder and save that image file path to a variable? I have checked on here (stack overflow) but don't see a post that specifically answers my questions. This is what I have so far it lists out all the files but I am unsure how to get them sorted by most recently modified. This is a unique and specific question. I don't mind if this code is used or not as long as the result is code that can get the most recent file in a folder.
Code:
(async () => {
var lastdownloadedimage = "";
var pathtocheck = "C:/Users/user1/Downloads";
var pathtocheckimage = "C:/Users/user1/Downloads/ot.png";
const testFolder = pathtocheck;
const fs = require('fs');
var lastdownloadedimage;
var filescount = 0;
var filename = [];
var filedates = [];
var filessortedbytimefromcurrentdateaccending = [];
var files;
//create a tuple for the file date and name
var filedata = [];
//fs.readdirSync(testFolder).forEach( filescount++);
files = fs.readdirSync(testFolder);
filescount = files.length;
console.log(files[0]);
filedates = fs.statSync(pathtocheckimage).mtime.getTime();
filename = fs.readdirSync(testFolder);
console.log(filescount);
for(var currentfiletocheck = 0; currentfiletocheck < filescount ; currentfiletocheck++){
//get current date
//find dile that is closest to current date
//use the index of that file data to find the file name
//save the files name to a variable
//filename[currentfiletocheck] = fs.readdirSync(testFolder)[currentfiletocheck];
//filedates[currentfiletocheck] = fs.stats.mtime.getTime()[currentfiletocheck];
//filedata[currentfiletocheck][0] = filename[currentfiletocheck];
//filedata[currentfiletocheck][1] = filedate[currentfiletocheck];
//console.log(files[currentfiletocheck]);
}
filessortedbytimefromcurrentdateaccending
filedata.sort(function(a, b) {
return a < b ? -1 : (a > b ? 1 : 0);
});
for (var i = 0; i < filedata.length; i++) {
var filenamessortedbytimefromcurrentdateaccending = filedata[i][0];
var filedatesortedbytimefromcurrentdateaccending = filedata[i][1];
lastdownloadedimage = filedatesortedbytimefromcurrentdateaccending;
// do something with key and value
}
/*
*/
console.log(lastdownloadedimage);
})();
I have taken a different approach, and rather than gather the timestamps and sort them, I iterate over the files and compare each timestamp with the next one - keeping the timestamp and file path of the later timestamp each time.
Note that this will also check directories, so you will have to implement a filter if you want to ignore them.
let fs = require('fs')
let dirToCheck = '.'
let files = fs.readdirSync(dirToCheck)
let latestPath = `${dirToCheck}/${files[0]}`
let latestTimeStamp = fs.statSync(latestPath).mtime.getTime()
files.forEach(file => {
let path = `${dirToCheck}/${file}`
let timeStamp = fs.statSync(path).mtime.getTime()
if (timeStamp > latestTimeStamp) {
latestTimeStamp = timeStamp
latestPath = path
}
});
console.log(latestPath)
I found this useful code
var x = document.querySelectorAll("a");
var myarray = []
for (var i=0; i<x.length; i++){
var nametext = x[i].textContent;
var cleantext = nametext.replace(/\s+/g, ' ').trim();
var cleanlink = x[i].href;
myarray.push([cleantext,cleanlink]);
};
function make_table() {
var table = '<table><thead><th>Name</th><th>Links</th></thead><tbody>';
for (var i=0; i<myarray.length; i++) {
table += '<tr><td>'+ myarray[i][0] + '</td><td>'+myarray[i][1]+'</td></tr>';
};
var w = window.open("");
w.document.write(table);
}
make_table()
When you add this to the web browser console - it opens up a new webpage with all weblinks with names
however some of the names are shortned.
is there a way to edit it so it shows the entire text name for that link
I have a problem.
How to get the filename from the url?
enter image description here
I wouldn't normally do this since you haven't shown us what you've tried, but I'm feeling generous.
This function should work for you. (Note that you'll need to grant permissions for it to run.)
function getFileNames() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName("Get_File_Name");
var links = sheet.getRange("A2:A").getValues();
var filenames = [];
for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
var url = links[i][0];
if (url != "") {
var filename = SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl(links[i][0]).getName();
filenames.push([filename]);
}
}
var startRow = 2; // print in row 2 since row 1 is the header row
var fileNameColumn = 2; // Column B = column 2
var destination = sheet.getRange(startRow, fileNameColumn, filenames.length, filenames[0].length);
destination.setValues(filenames);
}
Another way
function getFileNames() {
var driveApp = DriveApp;
// SET THE SHEET HERE
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName("Sheet1");
//SET THE URL LINK COLUMN HERE : From row 2 since row 1 is the header row till last row
var links = sheet.getRange("P2:P").getValues();
var filenames = [];
for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
var fileId = getIdFromUrl(links[i][0]);
if (fileId != "" && fileId != null) {
var getfile = DriveApp.getFileById(fileId);
var filename = getfile.getName();
Logger.log(filename);
filenames.push([filename]);
} else {
filenames.push([""]);
}
}
// SET STARTING ROW TO PRINT: From row 2 since row 1 is the header row
var startRow = 2;
// SET WHICH COLUMN TO PRINT : Column A = column 1 / Column B = column 2
// MAKE SURE THE SHEET LAST COLUMN HEADER IS FILLED + 1 (next column)
var fileNameColumn = sheet.getLastColumn() + 1;
var destination = sheet.getRange(startRow, fileNameColumn, filenames.length, filenames[0].length);
destination.setValues(filenames);
}
function getIdFromUrl(url) { return url.match(/[-\w]{25,}/); }
You can create a custom function in spreadsheets like this.
function getSSName(name) {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl(url);
return ss.getName();
}
Below is code I came up with to run a Saved Search in NetSuite using SuiteScript, create a CSV with the Saved Search results and then email the CSV. The trouble is, the results are limited to 1000 records. I've researched this issue and it appears the solution is to run a loop that slices in increments of 1000. A sample of what I believe is used to slice searches is also below.
However, I cannot seem to be able to incorporate the slicing into my code. Can anyone help me combine the slicing code with my original search code?
var search = nlapiSearchRecord('item', 'customsearch219729');
// Creating some array's that will be populated from the saved search results
var content = new Array();
var cells = new Array();
var temp = new Array();
var x = 0;
// Looping through the search Results
for (var i = 0; i < search.length; i++) {
var resultSet = search[i];
// Returns an array of column internal Ids
var columns = resultSet.getAllColumns();
// Looping through each column and assign it to the temp array
for (var y = 0; y <= columns.length; y++) {
temp[y] = resultSet.getValue(columns[y]);
}
// Taking the content of the temp array and assigning it to the Content Array.
content[x] += temp;
// Incrementing the index of the content array
x++;
}
//Inserting headers
content.splice(0, 0, "sku,qty,");
// Creating a string variable that will be used as the CSV Content
var contents;
// Looping through the content array and assigning it to the contents string variable.
for (var z = 0; z < content.length; z++) {
contents += content[z].replace('undefined', '') + '\n';
}
// Creating a csv file and passing the contents string variable.
var file = nlapiCreateFile('InventoryUpdate.csv', 'CSV', contents.replace('undefined', ''));
// Emailing the script.
function SendSSEmail()
{
nlapiSendEmail(768, 5, 'Inventory Update', 'Sending saved search via scheduled script', 'cc#email.com', null, null, file, true, null, 'cc#email.com');
}
The following code is an example of what I found that is used to return more than a 1000 records. Again, as a novice, I can't seem to incorporate the slicing into my original, functioning SuiteScript. Any help is of course greatly appreciated.
var filters = [...];
var columns = [...];
var results = [];
var savedsearch = nlapiCreateSearch( 'customrecord_mybigfatlist', filters, columns );
var resultset = savedsearch.runSearch();
var searchid = 0;
do {
var resultslice = resultset.getResults( searchid, searchid+1000 );
for (var rs in resultslice) {
results.push( resultslice[rs] );
searchid++;
}
} while (resultslice.length >= 1000);
return results;
Try out this one :
function returnCSVFile(){
function escapeCSV(val){
if(!val) return '';
if(!(/[",\s]/).test(val)) return val;
val = val.replace(/"/g, '""');
return '"'+ val + '"';
}
function makeHeader(firstLine){
var cols = firstLine.getAllColumns();
var hdr = [];
cols.forEach(function(c){
var lbl = c.getLabel(); // column must have a custom label to be included.
if(lbl){
hdr.push(escapeCSV(lbl));
}
});
return hdr.join(",");
}
function makeLine(srchRow){
var cols = srchRow.getAllColumns();
var line = [];
cols.forEach(function(c){
if(c.getLabel()){
line.push(escapeCSV(srchRow.getText(c) || srchRow.getValue(c)));
}
});
return line.join(",");
}
function getDLFileName(prefix){
function pad(v){ if(v >= 10) return v; return "0"+v;}
var now = new Date();
return prefix + '-'+ now.getFullYear() + pad(now.getMonth()+1)+ pad(now.getDate()) + pad( now.getHours()) +pad(now.getMinutes()) + ".csv";
}
var srchRows = getItems('item', 'customsearch219729'); //function that returns your saved search results
if(!srchRows) throw nlapiCreateError("SRCH_RESULT", "No results from search");
var fileLines = [makeHeader(srchRows[0])];
srchRows.forEach(function(soLine){
fileLines.push(makeLine(soLine));
});
var file = nlapiCreateFile('InventoryUpdate.csv', 'CSV', fileLines.join('\r\n'));
nlapiSendEmail(768, 5, 'Test csv Mail','csv', null, null, null, file);
}
function getItems(recordType, searchId) {
var savedSearch = nlapiLoadSearch(recordType, searchId);
var resultset = savedSearch.runSearch();
var returnSearchResults = [];
var searchid = 0;
do {
var resultslice = resultset.getResults(searchid, searchid + 1000);
for ( var rs in resultslice) {
returnSearchResults.push(resultslice[rs]);
searchid++;
}
} while (resultslice.length >= 1000);
return returnSearchResults;
}
I looked into your code but it seems you're missing the label headers in the generated CSV file. If you are bound to use your existing code then just replace
var search = nlapiSearchRecord('item', 'customsearch219729');
with
var search = getItems('item', 'customsearch219729');
and just use the mentioned helper function to get rid off the 1000 result limit.
Cheers!
I appreciate it has been a while since this was posted and replied to but for others looking for a more generic response to the original question the following code should suffice:
var search = nlapiLoadSearch('record_type', 'savedsearch_id');
var searchresults = search.runSearch();
var resultIndex = 0;
var resultStep = 1000;
var resultSet;
do {
resultSet = searchresults.getResults(resultIndex, resultIndex + resultStep); // retrieves all possible results up to the 1000 max returned
resultIndex = resultIndex + resultStep; // increment the starting point for the next batch of records
for(var i = 0; !!resultSet && i < resultSet.length; i++){ // loop through the search results
// Your code goes here to work on a the current resultSet (upto 1000 records per pass)
}
} while (resultSet.length > 0)
Also worth mentioning, if your code is going to be updating fields / records / creating records you need to bear in mind script governance.
Moving your code to a scheduled script to process large volumes of records is more efficient and allows you to handle governance.
The following line:
var savedsearch = nlapiCreateSearch( 'customrecord_mybigfatlist', filters, columns );
can be adapted to your own saved search like this:
var savedsearch = nlapiLoadSearch('item', 'customsearch219729');
Hope this helps.
I need to offer a feature which allows InDesign users to select a page range in an InDesign document and create a new document out of those pages. This sounds simple, but it isn't...
I have tried many different ways of doing this but they have all failed to some degree. Some methods put all pages in a single spread (which sometimes makes InDesign crash). The best I've been able to do (see code below) still has problems at the beginning and the end (see screenshots below):
The original document:
The new document:
The question: How can I create a new document out of a subset of another document's pages (in InDesign using ExtendScript) without having the problems shown in the screenshots?
note: The behavior of the script is quite different in CS5.5 and CS6. My question concerns CS6.
The second screenshot was obtained by applying the following code to the document shown in the first screenshot:
CODE
var firstPageName = { editContents: "117" }; // This page number is actually entered by the user in an integerEditbox
var lastPageName = { editContents: "136" }; // This page number is actually entered by the user in an integerEditbox
var sourceDocument = app.activeDocument;
var destDocument = app.documents.add();
destDocument.importStyles(ImportFormat.paragraphStylesFormat, new File(sourceDocument.filePath + "/" + sourceDocument.name), GlobalClashResolutionStrategy.LOAD_ALL_WITH_OVERWRITE);
destDocument.importStyles(ImportFormat.characterStylesFormat, new File(sourceDocument.filePath + "/" + sourceDocument.name), GlobalClashResolutionStrategy.LOAD_ALL_WITH_OVERWRITE);
destDocument.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits = sourceDocument.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits;
destDocument.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = sourceDocument.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits;
destDocument.documentPreferences.facingPages = sourceDocument.documentPreferences.facingPages;
destDocument.documentPreferences.pageHeight = sourceDocument.documentPreferences.pageHeight;
destDocument.documentPreferences.pageWidth = sourceDocument.documentPreferences.pageWidth;
destDocument.documentPreferences.pageSize = sourceDocument.documentPreferences.pageSize;
var sourceSpreads = sourceDocument.spreads;
var nbSourceSpreads = sourceSpreads.length;
var firstPageFound = false;
var lastPageFound = false;
var i;
var newSpreadNeeded;
var currentDestSpread;
for (i = 0; !lastPageFound, i < nbSourceSpreads; ++i) {
newSpreadNeeded = true;
var sourcePages = sourceSpreads[i].pages;
var nbSourcePages = sourcePages.length;
var j;
for (j = 0; !lastPageFound, j < nbSourcePages; ++j) {
if (sourcePages[j].name === firstPageName.editContents) {
firstPageFound = true;
destDocument.documentPreferences.startPageNumber = parseInt(firstPageName.editContents); // We want to preserve page numbers
}
if (firstPageFound) {
// Copy this page over to the new document.
var firstInNewSpread = false;
if (newSpreadNeeded) {
currentDestSpread = destDocument.spreads.add();
newSpreadNeeded = false;
firstInNewSpread = true;
}
var newPage = sourcePages[j].duplicate(LocationOptions.AT_END, currentDestSpread);
var k;
for (k = 0; k < newPage.index; ++k) {
currentDestSpread.pages[k].remove();
}
}
if (sourcePages[j].name === lastPageName.editContents) {
lastPageFound = true;
}
}
}
destDocument.spreads[0].remove();
I was hacking around and came up with this little script. Although it approaches the problem from the opposite direction, it seems to work fine here. Also, I'm still running in InDesign CS5, but maybe it will work for you. Hopefully I got the gist of your question?
This will extract pages 3 through 5 into a separate document:
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var newFilePath = doc.filePath + "/subset_" + doc.name;
var newFile = File(newFilePath); // Create a new file path
doc.saveACopy(newFile); // Save a copy of the doc
var newDoc = app.open(newFile); // Open the copy
var firstPageNum = 3; // First page number in the range
var lastPageNum = 5; // Last page number in the range
var firstPage = newDoc.pages[firstPageNum-1];
var lastPage = newDoc.pages[lastPageNum-1];
// Remove all text from the last page in the range to the end of the document
var lastPageFrames = lastPage.textFrames.everyItem().getElements();
for (var i=0; i < lastPageFrames.length; i++) {
var frame = lastPageFrames[i];
var parentStory = frame.parentStory;
var lastFrameInsert = frame.insertionPoints.lastItem();
var lastStoryInsert = parentStory.insertionPoints.lastItem();
var textAfter = parentStory.insertionPoints.itemByRange(lastFrameInsert,lastStoryInsert);
textAfter.remove();
};
// Remove all text from the beginning of the document to the first page in the range
var firstPageFrames = firstPage.textFrames.everyItem().getElements();
for (var i=0; i < firstPageFrames.length; i++) {
var frame = firstPageFrames[i];
var parentStory = frame.parentStory;
var firstFrameInsert = frame.insertionPoints.firstItem();
var textBefore = parentStory.insertionPoints.itemByRange(0,firstFrameInsert.index);
textBefore.remove();
};
// Remove the pages that aren't in the range
var allPages = newDoc.pages.everyItem().getElements();
for (var i=0; i < allPages.length; i++) {
var page = allPages[i];
if (i < firstPageNum || i > lastPageNum) {
page.remove();
}
};
