I have tried to Upload .csv file via API using Google Apps (Script).
I give the below property in part of API URL.
"ZOHO_FILE":file.csv
Is there any way to create .csv file in Google Apps Script ?
If possible, pls let us know, how can create .csv file in Google Apps ?
Sorry for my english :-(
You can use this to convert a data range:
function convertRangeToCsvFile(dataRange) {
try {
var data = dataRange.getValues();
var csvFile = undefined;
// Loop through the data in the range and build a string with the CSV data
if (data.length > 1) {
var csv = "";
for (var row = 0; row < data.length; row++) {
for (var col = 0; col < data[row].length; col++) {
if (data[row][col].toString().indexOf(",") != -1) {
data[row][col] = "\"" + data[row][col] + "\"";
}
}
// Join each row's columns
// Add a carriage return to end of each row, except for the last one
if (row < data.length-1) {
csv += data[row].join(",") + "\r\n";
}
else {
csv += data[row];
}
}
csvFile = csv;
}
return csvFile;
}
catch(err) {
Logger.log(err);
Browser.msgBox(err);
}
}
or this to download a whole sheet
function downloadSpreadsheet(){
//This function generates a pdf of your current spreadsheet and emails it to yourself as attachment
//Make sure your spreadsheet is not too big. The pdf size tends to be 200kb/page and if too large
//if the pdf is too large the urlFetch might timeout
var AUTH_TOKEN = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"; //Enter your AUTH_TOKEN
//You can receive it from https://appscripts.appspot.com/getAuthToken
var ssID=SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getId()+"&gid="+SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet().getSheetId();
var url = "https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/download/spreadsheets/Export?key="
+ ssID + "&exportFormat=csv";
//Add &gid=x at the end of above url if you only want a particular sheet
//gid of a sheet can be obtained by the undocumented function getSheetId()
//ex: SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet().getSheetId();
//exportFormat=xls did not work when I tried. I dont know why
var auth = "AuthSub token=\"" + AUTH_TOKEN + "\"";
var res = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, {headers: {Authorization: auth}});
var content=res.getContentText();
return content
}
You asked for Apps Script, I hope;
Section 2 and 3 of the article below tells how to import and export CSV

Where can I find code and instruction on how to allow users to upload files with Google Form without login?
I searched all over here and couldn't find any information.
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference
Thanks in advance.
The user will be uploading the files to your drive. So, google needs to verify the user. If there is no verification, someone can fill your drive in no time.
It is for your safety to know who has uploaded, so, login is must.
There's a workaround, I'm in a hurry to write the code now, but if you're interested let me know and I'll edit later.
Basically, you set up a web app with apps script, then you setup a custom HTML form, you'll have to manually collect the file, convert is to base64 then json, then when you catch it in apps script you reverse the process and save it wherever you want in your drive.
Since the user will be executing the script as you, there's no verification required
/*
These functions basically go through a file array and reads the files first as binary string (in second function), then converts the files to base64 string (func 1) before stringifying the files (after putting their base64 content into an object with other metadata attached; mime, name e.t.c);
You pass this stringified object into the body part of fetch(request,{body:"stringified object goes here"})
see next code block for how to read in apps script and save the files to google drive
N.B. The body data will be available under doPost(e){e.postData.contents}

I'm trying to merge all my text files into one file.
The problem I am having is that the file names are based on data previously captured in my app. I don't know how to define my path to where the text files are, maybe. I keep getting a error, but the path to the files are correct.
What am I missing?
string filesread = System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + #"\data\Customers\" + CustComboB.SelectedItem + #"\";
Directory.GetFiles(filesread);
using (var output = File.Create("allfiles.txt"))
{
foreach (var file in new[] { filesread })
{
using (var input = File.OpenRead(file))
{
input.CopyTo(output);
}
}
}
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("allfiles.txt");
my error:
System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException
HResult=0x80070003
Message=Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\simeo\source\repos\UpMarker\UpMarker\bin\Debug\data\Customers\13Dec2018\'.
I cant post a pic, but let me try and give some more details on my form.
I select a combobox item, this item is a directory. then I have a listbox that displays the files in my directory. I then have a button that executes my desires of combining the files. thanks
I finally got it working.
string path = #"data\Customers\" + CustComboB.SelectedItem;
string topath = #"data\Customers\";
string files = "*.txt";
string[] txtFiles;
txtFiles = Directory.GetFiles(path, files);
using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(topath + #"\allfiles.txt"))
{
for (int i = 0; i < txtFiles.Length; i++)
{
using (StreamReader reader = File.OpenText(txtFiles[i]))
{
writer.Write(reader.ReadToEnd());
}
}
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(topath + #"\allfiles.txt");
}
I'm new to Google Apps script and am trying to add an image inline to an automated response email.
The auto reply works perfectly, the main text of the email formats well in plain text and html.
the problem i'm facing is that the image does not appear.
my code:
// This constant is written in column Y for rows for which an email
// has been sent successfully.
var EMAIL_SENT = 'EMAIL_SENT';
/**
* Sends non-duplicate emails with data from the current spreadsheet.
*/
function sendEmails2() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
SpreadsheetApp.setActiveSheet(sheet.getSheetByName('Data'))
var startRow = 2; // First row of data to process
// Fetch the range
var dataRange = sheet.getRange("L2:L1000")
var dataRange2 = sheet.getRange("K2:K1000")
var dataRange3 = sheet.getRange("O2:O1000")
var dataRange4 = sheet.getRange("Y2:Y1000")
var dataRange5 = sheet.getRange("B2:B1000")
// Fetch values for each row in the Range.
var data = dataRange.getValues();
var data2 = dataRange2.getValues();
var data3 = dataRange3.getValues();
var data4 = dataRange4.getValues();
var data5 = dataRange5.getValues();
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; ++i) {
var yesno = data2[i]
if(yesno == "Yes"){
var TFlogoUrl = "https://drive.google.com/openid=1nzmvP_zzOms1HiBoFCsVLFjDM6ZzM287";
var TFlogoBlob = UrlFetchApp
.fetch(TFlogoUrl)
.getBlob()
.setName("TFlogoBlob");
var emailAddress = data[i];
var ShipID = data3[i];
var cmdrID = data5[i];
var TFmsg = "Hi " + cmdrID + ",/n /nThank you for signing up to The Fatherhoods Lost Souls Expedition./n /nYour unique Ship ID is: " + ShipID + "/n /nWe look forward to seeing you on the expedition CMDR!/n /nFly Safe,/nThe Lost Souls Expedition team.";

emailSent = data4[i]; // email sent (column Y)
if (emailSent != EMAIL_SENT) { // Prevents sending duplicates
var subject = "Lost Souls Expedition Sign up confirmation";
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress,subject,TFmsg,{

How about this modification?
Modification points:
You cannot retrieve the file blob from this URL var TFlogoUrl = "https://drive.google.com/openid=1nzmvP_zzOms1HiBoFCsVLFjDM6ZzM287";. If you want to retrieve the file blob from URL, please use var TFlogoUrl = "http://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1nzmvP_zzOms1HiBoFCsVLFjDM6ZzM287";. 1nzmvP_zzOms1HiBoFCsVLFjDM6ZzM287 is the file ID.
As an another method, from the file ID, it is found that the values of getSharingAccess() and getSharingPermission() are ANYONE_WITH_LINK and VIEW, respectively. So you can also retrieve the blob using var TFlogoBlob = DriveApp.getFileById("1nzmvP_zzOms1HiBoFCsVLFjDM6ZzM287").getBlob().setName("TFlogoBlob");. I recommend this.
When you want to use the inline image to email, please modify from inlineImage to inlineImages.
The script which reflected above points is as follows.
Modified script:
Please modify your script as follows.
From:
var TFlogoUrl = "https://drive.google.com/openid=1nzmvP_zzOms1HiBoFCsVLFjDM6ZzM287";
var TFlogoBlob = UrlFetchApp.fetch(TFlogoUrl).getBlob().setName("TFlogoBlob");
To:
var id = "1nzmvP_zzOms1HiBoFCsVLFjDM6ZzM287";
var TFlogoBlob = DriveApp.getFileById(id).getBlob().setName("TFlogoBlob");
And
From:
inlineImage: {TFlogo:TFlogoBlob}
To:
inlineImages: {TFlogo:TFlogoBlob}

If I misunderstand your question, please tell me. I would like to modify it.
We are trying to load a word document from server using JavaScript. We send the document using a base64 encoding. With our current approach, only the body is loading using the function:
context.document.body.insertFileFromBase64(fileContent, "replace");
Unfortunately, the header and the footer are not loading. Is there another approach to load the whole document including body and footer?
the insertFile operation does not overwrite existing header/footers in the document.
According to my research, I saw this article for using insertFileFromBase64.The article says," if you use insertFileFromBase64 to insert the file it does have this blank page with header and footer." Did you have the same issue for this?
However, another article says it's a design issue. Userform will encode data and will create an appointment on Microsoft Outlook Calendar
The article provides approach:
function getFile(){
Office.context.document.getFileAsync(Office.FileType.Compressed, { sliceSize: 4194304 /*64 KB*/ },
function (result) {
if (result.status == "succeeded") {
// If the getFileAsync call succeeded, then
// result.value will return a valid File Object.
var myFile = result.value;
var sliceCount = myFile.sliceCount;
var slicesReceived = 0, gotAllSlices = true, docdataSlices = [];
console.log("File size:" + myFile.size + " #Slices: " + sliceCount);
// Get the file slices.
getSliceAsync(myFile, 0, sliceCount, gotAllSlices, docdataSlices, slicesReceived);
}
else {
app.showNotification("Error:", result.error.message);
}
});
}
function getSliceAsync(file, nextSlice, sliceCount, gotAllSlices, docdataSlices, slicesReceived) {
file.getSliceAsync(nextSlice, function (sliceResult) {
if (sliceResult.status == "succeeded") {
if (!gotAllSlices) { // Failed to get all slices, no need to continue.
return;
}
// Got one slice, store it in a temporary array.
// (Or you can do something else, such as
// send it to a third-party server.)
docdataSlices[sliceResult.value.index] = sliceResult.value.data;
if (++slicesReceived == sliceCount) {
// All slices have been received.
file.closeAsync();
onGotAllSlices(docdataSlices);
}
else {
getSliceAsync(file, ++nextSlice, sliceCount, gotAllSlices, docdataSlices, slicesReceived);
}
}
else {
gotAllSlices = false;
file.closeAsync();
console.log("getSliceAsync Error:", sliceResult.error.message);
}
});
}
function onGotAllSlices(docdataSlices) {
var docdata = [];
for (var i = 0; i < docdataSlices.length; i++) {
docdata = docdata.concat(docdataSlices[i]);
}
var fileContent = new String();
for (var j = 0; j < docdata.length; j++) {
fileContent += String.fromCharCode(docdata[j]);
}
var mybase64 = window.btoa(fileContent);
console.log("here is the base 64", mybase64);
// Now all the file content is stored in 'fileContent' variable,
// you can do something with it, such as print, fax...

So I'm working on a project in Google Sheets, using scripting, that will eventually do the following;
Firstly, based on a name in a Cell , find the last 9 entries for that person in form responses.
It then arranges that data in a way that I need and writes it to a sheet, within my spreadsheet
The last part of the script (not my own work, but something i found here)
Script I found online
I've tried to adapt for my needs, not quite there yet. Creates a PDF, saves it in google drive then emails it.
This part requires a bit more work, as I want to specify what the PDF is called using the name and date. Also I'd like to specify where it's saved in google. Lastly the script only produces one PDF. Would like to eventually duplicate the script so I can either create 1 PDF or create them in batches. Will possibly post about these later, if I get stuck.
So anyways that is the overview.
Currently the script works and can query the data I want, write it to a sheet, save it to drive as PDF and email it to a single hard-coded email address. Awesomeness.
But I then tried to add a function called clearRanges which would clear out the template sheet before writing data. I used name ranges to define the 3 sections to clear. But since introducing it, and i've tried it in various parts of my script. I'm getting blank PDF's in my drive and by email.
It's like it's not waiting for the PDF to be created or email to be sent before clearing data. I've tried to put it at the start of my script too, but same thing. Got no idea why.
I was playing around with lock and waitlock as a possible solution, but it didn't seem to help.
If anyone can help out, I'd appreciate it.
