Script to copy values only from multiple tabs to another spreadsheet

I have found so many scripts to copy values only from one spreadhseet to another. However, all of them is to copy the whole spreasheet.
I am very new with google script and cannot find a way to copy values only from specific tabs to another spreasheet adding these new tabs to it.
function temp() {
var sss = SpreadsheetApp.openById('XYZ'); // sss = source spreadsheet
//var ss = sss.getSheets()[4]; // ss = source sheet
var ss = sss.getSheets(); // ss = source sheet
var id=4; //default number
for(var i in ss)
{
var sheet = ss[i];
if(sheet.getName()== "ABC")
{ id=i;
break;
}
}
console.log(id);
ss=sss.getSheets()[id];
//Get full range of data
var SRange = ss.getDataRange();
//get A1 notation identifying the range
var A1Range = SRange.getA1Notation();
//get the data values in range
var SData = SRange.getValues();
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
var tss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet(); // tss = target spreadsheet
var ts = tss.getSheetByName('ABC'); // ts = target sheet
//set the target range to the values of the source data
ts.getRange(A1Range).setValues(SData);
}
Thanks a lot in advance.

Issue:
You can to copy the values from a specific set of sheets to a new spreadsheet.
I assume that you don't want to copy the sheet itself, but only the values from the source sheet.
Modifications:
Use filter to get an array of your desired sheets (based on sheet name).
If the target spreadsheet doesn't have a sheet with that name, create it with Spreadsheet.insertSheet.
Code sample:
function temp() {
var sheetNames = ["ABC", "DEF"]; // Change accordingly
var sss = SpreadsheetApp.openById('XYZ');
var sheetsToCopy = sss.getSheets().filter(s => sheetNames.includes(s.getSheetName()));
sheetsToCopy.forEach(ss => {
var sourceSheetName = ss.getSheetName();
var SRange = ss.getDataRange();
var A1Range = SRange.getA1Notation();
var SData = SRange.getValues();
var tss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var ts = tss.getSheetByName(sourceSheetName);
if (!ts) ts = tss.insertSheet(sourceSheetName);
ts.getRange(A1Range).setValues(SData);
});
}

Copy these sheets to another spreadsheet
function copythese() {
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
const these = ['Sheet0','Sheet1'];//Put your sheetnames here
const another = SpreadsheetApp.openById("another id");//put the other spreadsheet id here
ss.getSheets().filter(sh => ~these.indexOf(sh.getName())).forEach(sh => {
sh.copyTo(another);
});
}
Append These Values to another spreadsheet
function appendthesevalues() {
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
const these = ['Sheet0','Sheet1'];
const another = SpreadsheetApp.openById("another id");
ss.getSheets().filter(sh => ~these.indexOf(sh.getName())).forEach(sh => {
let vs = sh.getDataRange().getValues();
let nsh = another.getSheetByName(sh.getName());
if(!nsh) {
nsh = another.insertSheet(sh.getName());
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
}
if(nsh) {
nsh.getRange(nsh.getLastRow() + 1, 1 ,vs.length, vs[0].length).setValues(vs);
}
});
}

.length not working on array in Google Apps Script

I have this code. I want to loop through the array and create a new doc for each entry. If I manually set the loop length to the number of rows it works fine. I want to set it to loop for the length of the array. However the .length property always returns null. What am I missing. I have also tried for each loops with no luck.
function createDocument()
{
//var headers = Sheets.Spreadsheets.Values.get('fileID', 'A1:Z1');
var studentHistory = Sheets.Spreadsheets.Values.get('fileID', 'A2:Z200');
var templateId = 'fileID';
var documentId;
var dstFolder = DriveApp.getFolderById('folderID');
var length = studentHistory.length;
Logger.log(studentHistory);
Logger.log(length);
//Loop through rows in sheet
for (var i = 0; i < length; i++){
//Get values from sheet row
var date = studentHistory.values[i][0];
var studentName = studentHistory.values[i][1];
var dob = studentHistory.values[i][2];
var pcDoctor = studentHistory.values[i][3];
var address = studentHistory.values[i][4];
var fgName = studentHistory.values[i][5];
var mgName = studentHistory.values[i][6];
var phoneMom = studentHistory.values[i][7];
var phoneDad = studentHistory.values[i][8];
var empMom = studentHistory.values[i][9];
var empDad = studentHistory.values[i][10];
var livesWith = studentHistory.values[i][11];
var childrenInHome = studentHistory.values[i][12];
var childrenNotInHome = studentHistory.values[i][13];
var othersInHome = studentHistory.values[i][14];
var illnesses = studentHistory.values[i][15];
var illnessDetails = studentHistory.values[i][16];
var hospitalizations = studentHistory.values[i][17];
var hospDetails = studentHistory.values[i][18];
var trauma = studentHistory.values[i][19];
var traumaDetails = studentHistory.values[i][20];
var injuries = studentHistory.values[i][21];
var injuryDetails = studentHistory.values[i][22];
var medications = studentHistory.values[i][23];
var additionalComments = studentHistory.values[i][24];
var otherSchools = studentHistory.values[i][25];
//Make a copy of the template file
documentId = DriveApp.getFileById(templateId).makeCopy(dstFolder).getId();
//Change name of newly created document
DriveApp.getFileById(documentId).setName('SocialHistory_' + studentName + '_' + date);
var body = DocumentApp.openById(documentId).getBody();
//Insert values
body.replaceText('<<date>>', date);
body.replaceText('<<studentName>>', studentName);
body.replaceText('<<dob>>', dob);
body.replaceText('<<pcDoctor>>', pcDoctor);
body.replaceText('<<address>>', address);
body.replaceText('<<fgName>>', fgName);
body.replaceText('<<mgName>>', mgName);
body.replaceText('<<phoneMom>>', phoneMom);
body.replaceText('<<phoneDad>>', phoneDad);
body.replaceText('<<empMom>>', empMom);
body.replaceText('<<empDad>>', empDad);
body.replaceText('<<livesWithe>>', livesWith);
body.replaceText('<<childrenInHome>>', childrenInHome);
body.replaceText('<<childrenNotInHome>>', childrenNotInHome);
body.replaceText('<<othersInHome>>', othersInHome);
body.replaceText('<<illnesses>>', illnesses);
body.replaceText('<<illnessDetails>>', illnessDetails);
body.replaceText('<<hospitalizations>>', hospitalizations);
body.replaceText('<<hospDetails>>', hospDetails);
body.replaceText('<<trauma>>', trauma);
body.replaceText('<<traumaDetails>>', traumaDetails);
body.replaceText('<<injuries>>', injuries);
body.replaceText('<<injuryDetails>>', injuryDetails);
body.replaceText('<<medications>>', medications);
body.replaceText('<<additionalComments>>', additionalComments);
body.replaceText('<<otherSchools>>', otherSchools);
}
}

studentHistory.values is the array.
Therefore, try this instead to get the length:
var length = studentHistory.values.length;

Solution
I see you are using Advanced Google Services to call the Sheets API. This Apps Script class allows you to call the Google APIs directly from your script handling automatically the authorization process.
However it doesn't work as the built in Classes that are available for example inside the SpreadsheetApp wrapper.
Your request will return an HTTP-like response following these specifications:
{
"range": string,
"majorDimension": enum (Dimension),
"values": [
array
]
}
You will need to parse these responses in order to achieve the desired result.
Proposed modification
function createDocument()
{
//var headers = Sheets.Spreadsheets.Values.get('fileID', 'A1:Z1');
var studentHistory = Sheets.Spreadsheets.Values.get('fileID', 'A2:Z200');
var templateId = 'fileID';
var documentId;
var dstFolder = DriveApp.getFolderById('folderID');
var length = studentHistory.values.length;

How can I copy data from a google spreasheet using the file name, and paste it into another file?

I am trying to use a file name to get data from a Spreadsheet, and copy the data into a different target file. I have the following code, and it is failing at line 7. When I manually put in an ID in line 7 the code works. Could someone help? Thank you very much.
function openFile() {
var fileList = DriveApp.getFilesByName('file name')
while (fileList.hasNext()) {
Logger.log(fileList.next().getId())
}
var fileID = Logger.getLog();
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(fileID);//fails here
var source = ss.getSheetByName('sheet name');
var rangeSource = source.getDataRange();
var data = rangeSource.getValues();
var rowsInData = data.length;
var colsInData = data[0].length;
var sss = SpreadsheetApp.openById('1Hia3_zGk1qyPlVuPTQR5iOjExFaMEe3EQOMXBc2C6eI');
var logSheet = sss.getSheetByName("diamondbackprogress");
var rowsInLogSheet = logSheet.getMaxRows();
var colsInLogSheet = logSheet.getMaxColumns();
if (rowsInLogSheet < rowsInData) {
logSheet.insertRowsAfter(rowsInLogSheet, rowsInData - rowsInLogSheet);
} else if (rowsInLogSheet > rowsInData) {
logSheet.deleteRows(rowsInData, rowsInLogSheet - rowsInData);
}
if (colsInLogSheet < colsInData) {
logSheet.insertColumnsAfter(colsInLogSheet, colsInData - colsInLogSheet);
} else if (colsInLogSheet > colsInData) {
logSheet.deleteColumns(colsInData, colsInLogSheet - colsInData);
}
logSheet.getRange(1, 1, rowsInData, colsInData).setValues(data);
}

Logger.getLog() won't give you the id of the file, it will give a list of messages in the current log. See here for more details.
Replace this part:
function openFile() {
var fileList = DriveApp.getFilesByName('file name')
while (fileList.hasNext()) {
Logger.log(fileList.next().getId())
}
var fileID = Logger.getLog();
with this:
function openFile() {
var fileList = DriveApp.getFilesByName('file name')
while (fileList.hasNext()) {
var fID = fileList.next().getId();
}
var fileID = fID;

google-apps script - loops

I have a project I been working on to read data from one sheet and iterate through the designated columns grab that data and place it on a template that will be uploaded to Google ads. See the code below (A SIMPLE LOOP IS NEEDED SEE MY CODE FOR COMMENTS!). Please note that i'm new to this and it may look like an eye sore.

Get, treat and set data from a spreadsheet to another

I'm new to GAS. I'm trying to accomplish four tasks in a single spreadsheet with three separate sheets to relate to.
I want to copy data from the 'rawData sheet', set it in an array, rearrange the array, and set the values in the 'destination sheet'. And keep it active for new submissions (i.e. getLastRow/appendRow).
In 'destination sheet' I want to color code based on status.
Create a button in 'destination sheet' to mark row(case) complete and move from 'destination' to the 'complete sheet'.
And add onEdit triggers for each.
Your input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
