I'm getting HTML from a forum url, and parsing the post count of the user from their profile page. I don't know how to write the parsed number into the Google spreadsheet.
It should go account by account in column B till last row and update the column A with count.
The script doesn't give me any errors, but it doesn't set the retrieved value into the spreadsheet.
function msg(message){
Browser.msgBox(message);
}
function onOpen() {
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
ui.createMenu("Update")
.addItem('Update Table', 'updatePosts')
.addToUi();
}
function getPostCount(profileUrl){
var html = UrlFetchApp.fetch(profileUrl).getContentText();
var sliced = html.slice(0,html.search('Posts Per Day'));
sliced = sliced.slice(sliced.search('<dt>Total Posts</dt>'),sliced.length);
postCount = sliced.slice(sliced.search("<dd> ")+"<dd> ".length,sliced.search("</dd>"));
return postCount;
}
function updatePosts(){
if(arguments[0]===false){
showAlert = false;
} else {
showAlert=true;
}
var spreadSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var accountSheet = spreadSheet.getSheetByName("account-stats");
var statsLastCol = statsSheet.getLastColumn();
var accountCount = accountSheet.getLastRow();
var newValue = 0;
var oldValue = 0;
var totalNewPosts = 0;
for (var i=2; i<=accountCount; i++){
newValue = parseInt(getPostCount(accountSheet.getRange(i, 9).getValue()));
oldValue = parseInt(accountSheet.getRange(i, 7).getValue());
totalNewPosts = totalNewPosts + newValue - oldValue;
accountSheet.getRange(i, 7).setValue(newValue);
statsSheet.getRange(i,statsLastCol).setValue(newValue-todaysValue);
}
if(showAlert==false){
return 0;
}
msg(totalNewPosts+" new post found!");
}
function valinar(needle, haystack){
haystack = haystack[0];
for (var i in haystack){
if(haystack[i]==needle){
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
The is the first time I'm doing something like this and working from an example from other site.
I have one more question. In function getPostCount I send the function profileurl. Where do I declare that ?
Here is how you get the URL out of the spreadsheet:
function getPostCount(profileUrl){
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var thisSheet = ss.getSheetByName("List1");
var getNumberOfRows = thisSheet.getLastRow();
var urlProfile = "";
var sliced = "";
var A_Column = "";
var arrayIndex = 0;
var rngA2Bx = thisSheet.getRange(2, 2, getNumberOfRows, 1).getValues();
for (var i = 2; i < getNumberOfRows + 1; i++) { //Start getting urls from row 2
//Logger.log('count i: ' + i);
arrayIndex = i-2;
urlProfile = rngA2Bx[arrayIndex][0];
//Logger.log('urlProfile: ' + urlProfile);
var html = UrlFetchApp.fetch(urlProfile).getContentText();
sliced = html.slice(0,html.search('Posts Per Day'));
var postCount = sliced.slice(sliced.search("<dd> ")+"<dd> ".length,sliced.search("</dd>"));
sliced = sliced.slice(sliced.search('<dt>Total Posts</dt>'),sliced.length);
postCount = sliced.slice(sliced.search("<dd> ")+"<dd> ".length,sliced.search("</dd>"));
Logger.log('postCount: ' + postCount);
A_Column = thisSheet.getRange(i, 1);
A_Column.setValue(postCount);
};
}
You're missing var in front of one of your variables:
postCount = sliced.slice(sliced.search("<dd> ")+"<dd> ".length,sliced.search("</dd>"));
That won't work. Need to put var in front. var postCount = ....
In this function:
function updatePosts(){
if(arguments[0]===false){
showAlert = false;
} else {
showAlert=true;
}
There is no array named arguments anywhere in your code. Where is arguments defined and how is it getting any values put into it?
I have a string where |||| means next to it is the directory. ||| means the user is allowed to access this directory and || means the files allocated to these users follow.
I need to find allocated file names of a specific user from this string. I have tried to split the string and assign values to an array but I am not able to get the result I'm looking for.
This is the string:
||||Root|||adil001,km11285c,km61052,km61639c,adil001,kl04707c,km47389,km58184,km61052,kq61023c,adil001,km11285c,km61052,km61639c,||LimitTest_20140528164643.xlsx,testTask2_20140528140033.xlsx,||||1400842226669|||adil001,km11285c,km61052,km61639c,adil001,kl04707c,km47389,km58184,km61052,kq61023c,adil001,km11285c,km61052,km61639c,adil001,km11285c,km61052,km61639c,adil001,km11285c,km61052,km61639c,||LimitTest_20140528164643.xlsx,testTask2_20140528140033.xlsx,testTask1_20140528135944.xlsx,testTask2_20140528140033.xlsx,||||1401191909489|||adil001,km11285c,km61052,km61639c,adil001,kl04707c,km47389,km58184,km61052,kq61023c,adil001,km11285c,km61052,km61639c,adil001,km11285c,km61052,km61639c,adil001,km11285c,km61052,km61639c,adil001,km11285c,km61052,km61639c,adil001,kl04707c,km47389,km58184,km61052,kq61023c,||LimitTest_20140528164643.xlsx,testTask2_20140528140033.xlsx,testTask1_20140528135944.xlsx,testTask2_20140528140033.xlsx,LimitTest_20140528164643.xlsx,

var users = null;
var files = null;
var Dir = value.split("||||");
var arrayLength = Dir.length;
for (var i = 0; i < arrayLength; i++) {
users = Dir[i].split("|||");
}
return users;
}
console.log(getData());
and the jsFiddle
I changed your jsfiddle example a bit so maybe you need to change the code here and there, but something like this should work:
function buildTree(data) {
var tree = [];
var dirs = data.split("||||");
// Remove the first entry in the array, since it should be empty.
dirs.splice(0, 1);
for (var i = 0; i < dirs.length; ++i) {
var tempArray = dirs[i].split("|||");
var dirName = tempArray[0];
var usersAndFiles = tempArray[1];
tempArray = usersAndFiles.split("||");
var users = tempArray[0];
var files = tempArray[1];
var treeDir = { name: dirName };
treeDir.users = users.split(",");
treeDir.files = files.split(",");
tree.push(treeDir);
}
return tree;
}
function getData() {
var user = 'km11285c';
var value="||||Root|||adil001,km11285c,km61052,km61639c,adil001,kl04707c,km47389,km58184,km61052,kq61023c,adil001,km11285c,km61052,km61639c,||LimitTest_20140528164643.xlsx,testTask2_20140528140033.xlsx,||||1400842226669|||adil001,km11285c,km61052,km61639c,adil001,kl04707c,km47389,km58184,km61052,kq61023c,adil001,km11285c,km61052,km61639c,adil001,km11285c,km61052,km61639c,adil001,km11285c,km61052,km61639c,||LimitTest_20140528164643.xlsx,testTask2_20140528140033.xlsx,testTask1_20140528135944.xlsx,testTask2_20140528140033.xlsx,||||1401191909489|||adil001,km11285c,km61052,km61639c,adil001,kl04707c,km47389,km58184,km61052,kq61023c,adil001,km11285c,km61052,km61639c,adil001,km11285c,km61052,km61639c,adil001,km11285c,km61052,km61639c,adil001,km11285c,km61052,km61639c,adil001,kl04707c,km47389,km58184,km61052,kq61023c,||LimitTest_20140528164643.xlsx,testTask2_20140528140033.xlsx,testTask1_20140528135944.xlsx,testTask2_20140528140033.xlsx,LimitTest_20140528164643.xlsx,";

I have a html tag like this.
<a class="employee_details" target="_blank" href="index1.php?name=user1&id=123">User</a>
I need to get the two parameter values in jquery
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$('.employee_details').click(function () {
var status_id = $(this).attr('href').split('name');
alert(status_id[0]);
});
});
</script>
Any help in getting both the parameter values in two variables in javascript.
I want to get user1 and 123 in two variables using jQuery
Thanks

You can use URLSearchParams as a most up-to-date and modern solution:
let href = $(this).attr('href');
let pars = new URLSearchParams(href.split("?")[1]);
console.log(pars.get('name'));
Supported in all modern browsers and no jQuery needed!
Original answer:
Try this logic:
var href = $(this).attr('href');
var result = {};
var pars = href.split("?")[1].split("&");
for (var i = 0; i < pars.length; i++)
{
var tmp = pars[i].split("=");
result[tmp[0]] = tmp[1];
}
console.log(result);
So you'll get the parameters as properties on result object, like:
var name = result.name;
var id = result.id;
Fiddle.
An implemented version:
var getParams = function(href)
{
var result = {};
var pars = href.split("?")[1].split("&");
for (var i = 0; i < pars.length; i++)
{
var tmp = pars[i].split("=");
result[tmp[0]] = tmp[1];
}
return result;
};
$('.employee_details').on('click', function (e) {
var params = getParams($(this).attr("href"));
console.log(params);
e.preventDefault();
return false;
});
Fiddle.
$(function() {
$('.employee_details').on("click",function(e) {
e.preventDefault(); // prevents default action
var status_id = $(this).attr('href');
var reg = /name=(\w+).id=(\w+)/g;
console.log(reg.exec(status_id)); // returns ["name=user1&id=123", "user1", "123"]
});
});
// [0] returns `name=user1&id=123`
// [1] returns `user1`
// [2] returns `123`
JSFiddle
NOTE: Better to use ON method instead of click
Not the most cross browser solution, but probably one of the shortest:
$('.employee_details').click(function() {
var params = this.href.split('?').pop().split(/\?|&/).reduce(function(prev, curr) {
var p = curr.split('=');
prev[p[0]] = p[1];
return prev;
}, {});
console.log(params);
});
Output:
Object {name: "user1", id: "123"}
If you need IE7-8 support this solution will not work, as there is not Array.reduce.
$(function () {
$('.employee_details').click(function () {
var query = $(this).attr('href').split('?')[1];
var vars = query.split('&');
for (var i = 0; i < vars.length; i++) {
var pair = vars[i].split('=');
var varName = decodeURIComponent(pair[0]);
var varValue = decodeURIComponent(pair[1]);
if (varName == "name") {
alert("name = " + varValue);
} else if (varName == "id") {
alert("id = " + varValue);
}
}
});
});
It's not very elegant, but here it is!
var results = new Array();
var ref_array = $(".employee_details").attr("href").split('?');
if(ref_array && ref_array.length > 1) {
var query_array = ref_array[1].split('&');
if(query_array && query_array.length > 0) {
for(var i = 0;i < query_array.length; i++) {
results.push(query_array[i].split('=')[1]);
}
}
}
In results has the values. This should work for other kinds of url querys.
It's so simple
// function to parse url string
function getParam(url) {
var vars = [],hash;
var hashes = url.slice(url.indexOf('?') + 1).split('&');
for (var i = 0; i < hashes.length; i++) {
hash = hashes[i].split('=');
vars.push(hash[0]);
vars[hash[0]] = hash[1];
}
return vars;
}
// your code
$(function () {
$('.employee_details').click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var qs = getParam($(this).attr('href'));
alert(qs["name"]);// user1
var status_id = $(this).attr('href').split('name');
});
});
