Copy a variable from the console to the clipboard - javascript

I created a spreadsheet to keep track of all the videos uploaded by the YouTubers I follow. Then, I created a script to be executed from the console that lists all the videos of that user. I store the list in a variable, and then I log it, select it, and copy it to the clipboard, but I'd like to copy it automatically every time I run the script. The problem is that the text is not inside an element (like a div, or textarea), so I can't use either window.navigator.clipboard or document.execCommand('copy').
Is there a way to do that?.
Thanks & greets from Argentina (Hope it is from England someday).

This is the code I use (open the videos tab in any channel and try it):
console.clear();
console.log("Título + Duración + Estado + URL en Subscripciones (sin número de orden)");
var domains = "";
var i = "";
var text = "";
var title = "";
var duration = "";
var hours = "";
var link = "";
var video = "";
var textDuration = "";
var hoursCheck = "";
var finalDuration = "";
var finalTitle = "";
domains = document.getElementsByTagName('ytd-grid-video-renderer')
for (i = 0; i < domains.length; i++)
{title = domains[i].getElementsByTagName('h3');
duration = domains[i].getElementsByTagName('span');
link = domains[i].getElementsByTagName('a');
textDuration = duration[0].innerText.trim();
hoursCheck = "";
hoursCheck = textDuration.length > 5 ? "0": "00:";
finalDuration = hoursCheck + textDuration + "\t" + "P" + "\t";
finalTitle = title[0].innerText + "\t";
url = "https://www.youtube.com" + link[0].attributes['href'].value;
video = video + finalTitle + finalDuration + url + "\n";}
console.log(video);

Why shouldn't you be able to use navigator.clipboard? It works fine while providing variables to copy to clipboard.
document.getElementById("copy").addEventListener("click", async () => {
const text = "Text copied to the clipboard"
await navigator.clipboard.write(text)
})
<button id="copy">
Copy to clipboard
</button>

When you say "from the console", do you mean the browser console? If so, there's a built-in global copy function (not window.copy, just copy).

Yes!! Thank you Zac (and wOxxOm and Jannis Ioannou) for the answer.
It's just a matter of deleting the, for me, weird DOM element with the ID 'copy' to be able to use the copy function in the console.

how to fetch line from text file in javascript

I am developing web portal for ASR (Automatic speech recognition). As you all know that ASR won't give the 100% correct result. The main reason of getting wrong result are speaking behavior of person, noise, style of speaking, voice intensity, homophones (buy, bye. cite, site) etc. I am planning to do post processing by using web portal. I defined textarea where I get the recognized text. If user found that wrong word in text area then he will double click on wrong word in textarea and after word selection in same place display similar word pronunciation option (Similar pronunciation words are stored in text file. one line contains same pronunciation words) exa. If user selected word "sad" then in option he will get "sad, mad, bad" etc. I have created text file which contains following lines
sad, mad, bad
hero, zero
site, cite
buy,bye
If user select word "site" then he will get "site, cite" in textarea and finally user will select his correct word. Indirectly I am searching word in text file and if word found in text file then copy whole line and display as option in textarea (like google display's search options after entering text)
I wrote small code but getting failed to done all functionalities. My text file is locally stored.
<textarea name="text" id="textdata" rows="7" cols="79" wrap="soft" maxlength="4000" style="overflow:auto; resize:none; font-size: 17pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"
onselect="populateList(this.value)" > </textarea>
<script>
function populateList(val)
{
// alert("Entered populateList ");
var textComponent = document.getElementById('textdata');
var selectedText;
var startPos = textComponent.selectionStart;
var endPos = textComponent.selectionEnd;
selectedText = textComponent.value.substring(startPos, endPos);
alert("Selected word : "+selectedText);
dic(selectedText);
}
</script>
<script>
$.get("http://localhost/english/master.txt",function(returnedData) {
$("#element").text(returnedData);
},"text/plain");
</script>
<script>
var text = $("#element").text();
var words = text.split(" ");
var dictionary = new Array();
for(var i=0; i < words.length; i++) {
dictionary[i] = words[i];
alert("dictionary elements are :"+dictionary[i]);
}
</script>
<script>
function dic(word) {
alert("Word passed for searching :"+word);
// var dictionary = new Array("Java","Python","Swift","HTML","PHP");
// This line is unnecessary; use the dictionary var already created.
var flag = 0;
for(var i = 0; i < dictionary.length; i++) {
if(dictionary[i] == word) {
document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = "Element Found";
flag = 1;
alert("Element found ");
break;
}
if(i == dictionary.length - 1) {
document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = "Element Not Found";
alert("Element not found ");
}
}
}
</script>
I am new in website development.
I've solved your problem, but I'm not using txt file, but json (because of CORS problem in fiddle), but if you create txt file it will work same. One line for one prompt words in file.
function populateList(val)
{
let textComponent = document.getElementById('textdata');
let tooltip = document.getElementById('tooltip');
let selectedText;
let startPos = textComponent.selectionStart;
let endPos = textComponent.selectionEnd;
selectedText = textComponent.value.substring(startPos, endPos);
fetch('https://api.myjson.com/bins/z9wr6').then(data=>data.json()).then(data=>{
let text = data.result.split('\n').reduce((acc,e)=>{
acc.push(Array.prototype.concat.call([],e.split(' ')))
return acc
},[]);
text.forEach(e=>{
if(e.find(ele=>ele===selectedText)){
tooltip.innerHTML = e.join(', ')
}
})
})
}

Display a waiting gif during a javascript function

I write a script to get a text file, to modify this texter file and then I import the file in our software.
The problem is that the import of the file is very slow (just this part of the script could take more than 1 minute sometime).
I would like to display a waiting gif during this process, so the user can see that the process is running, and he need to wait.
Some precision:
- It's only a javascript file with no html page
- The script is launched with a button in our software and I have access to ActiveXObject if necessary
Here is a sample code :
function importFec()
{
var iOpenDlg = 1;
var sPath = "Deskop";
var sTypes = "Fichier Texte (*.txt)|*.txt";
var sExt = "txt";
//Allow me to select a file in Windows
cheminFEC = fileDialog(iOpenDlg, sPath, sTypes, sExt);
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var ForReading = 1;
var f1 = fso.OpenTextFile(cheminFEC, ForReading);
var texte = f1.ReadAll();
var tableauFEC = [];
var tableauTest = [];
tableauFEC = texte.split(/\r\n/);
tableauTest = tableauFEC[0].split("\t");
var delimiter = "\t";
if (tableauTest.length == 1)
{
tableauTest = tableauFEC[0].split("|");
var delimiter = "|";
}
var nbColonne = tableauTest.length;
for (var i=0;i<tableauFEC.length;i++)
{
var tab = tableauFEC[i].split(delimiter);
tableauFEC[i] = new Array(25);
for (var j=0;j<nbColonne;j++)
{
tableauFEC[i][j] = tab[j];
}
}
//Make some change in the table to adapt my texte file
//Then create a new texte file C:\\FichierFEC\\FECModifie.txt
createNewFEC(tableauFEC);
var cwfConfiguration = Application.ApplicationInfo("ProgramPath")+"\\Library\\ImportFEC\\ImportFEC23032017.vgl"
var oImport = Import(ipASCII)
oImport.ImportComponents = CWImportComponents.icGeneralLedger
oImport.ASCIILayoutFile = cwfConfiguration
oImport.ASCIIDataFile = "C:\\FichierFEC\\FECModifie.txt"
//This is the function which take a long moment to execute
oImport.RunImport()
}
Thanks for your answer and explanation
I finnaly found another solution.
At the beggining of my script, I launch a .hta file with a GIF and a small texte.
At the end of my script, I close the .hta file
Thanks

Javascript-Using Parsed Data From a Query String as a Heading

I am wondering how to take the information from a parsed query string and use it to display on the top of my page. Ignore the window.alert part of the code, I was just using that to verify that the function worked.
For example: If the user had choices of Spring, Summer, Winter, and Fall, whichever they chose would display a a header on the next page. So if (seasonArray[i]) = Fall, I want to transfer that information into the form and display it as a element. I'm sure this is easily done, but I can't figure it out. Thanks, in advance.
function seasonDisplay() {
var seasonVariable = location.search;
seasonVariable = seasonVariable.substring(1, seasonVariable.length);
while (seasonVariable.indexOf("+") != -1) {
seasonVariable = seasonVariable.replace("+", " ");
}
seasonVariable = unescape(seasonVariable);
var seasonArray = seasonVariable.split("&");
for (var i = 0; i < seasonArray.length; ++i) {
window.alert(seasonArray[i]);
}
if (window != top)
top.location.href = location.href
}
<h1 id="DynamicHeader"></h1>
Replace the alert line with:
document.getElementById("DynamicHeader").insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend',seasonArray[i]);

text string output stops after first space, js/html

I apologize in advance, this is the first Stack Overflow question I've posted. I was tasked with creating a new ADA compliant website for my school district's technology helpdesk. I started with minimal knowledge of HTML and have been teaching myself through w3cschools. So here's my ordeal:
I need to create a page for all of our pdf and html guides. I'm trying to create a somewhat interactable menu that is very simple and will populate a link array from an onclick event, but the title="" text attribute drops everything after the first space and I've unsuccessfully tried using a replace() method since it's coming from an array and not static text.
I know I'm probably supposed to use an example, but my work day is coming to a close soon and I wanted to get this posted so I just copied a bit of my actual code.
So here's what's happening, in example 1 of var gmaildocAlt the tooltip will drop everything after Google, but will show the entire string properly with example 2. I was hoping to create a form input for the other helpdesk personnel to add links without knowing how to code, but was unable to resolve the issue of example 1 with a
var fix = gmaildocAlt.replace(/ /g, "&nb sp;")
//minus the space
//this also happens to break the entire function if I set it below the rest of the other variables
I'm sure there are a vast number of things I'm doing wrong, but I would really appreciate the smallest tip to make my tooltip display properly without requiring a replace method.
// GMAIL----------------------------
function gmailArray() {
var gmaildocLink = ['link1', 'link2'];
var gmaildocTitle = ["title1", "title2"];
var gmaildocAlt = ["Google Cheat Sheet For Gmail", "Google 10-Minute Training For Gmail"];
var gmailvidLink = [];
var gmailvidTitle = [];
var gmailvidAlt = [];
if (document.getElementById("gmailList").innerHTML == "") {
for (i = 0; i < gmaildocTitle.length; i++) {
arrayGmail = "" + gmaildocTitle[i] + "" + "<br>";
document.getElementById("gmailList").innerHTML += arrayGmail;
}
for (i = 0; i < gmailvidTitle.length; i++) {
arrayGmail1 = "";
document.getElementById("").innerHTML += arrayGmail1;
}
} else {
document.getElementById("gmailList").innerHTML = "";
}
}
<div class="fixed1">
<p id="gmail" onclick="gmailArray()" class="gl">Gmail</p>
<ul id="gmailList"></ul>
<p id="calendar" onclick="calendarArray()" class="gl">Calendar</p>
<ul id="calendarList"></ul>
</div>
Building HTML manually with strings can cause issues like this. It's better to build them one step at a time, and let the framework handle quoting and special characters - if you're using jQuery, it could be:
var $link = jQuery("<a></a>")
.attr("href", gmaildocLink[i])
.attr("title", gmaildocAlt[i])
.html(gmaildocTitle[i]);
jQuery("#gmailList").append($link).append("<br>");
Without jQuery, something like:
var link = document.createElement("a");
link.setAttribute("href", gmaildocLink[i]);
link.setAttribute("title", gmaildocAlt[i]);
link.innerHTML = gmaildocTitle[i];
document.getElementById("gmailList").innerHTML += link.outerHTML + "<br>";
If it matters to your audience, setAttribute doesn't work in IE7, and you have to access the attributes as properties of the element: link.href = "something";.
If you add ' to either side of the variable strings then it will ensure that the whole value is read as a single string. Initially, it was assuming that the space was exiting the Title attribute.
Hope the below helps!
UPDATE: If you're worried about using apostrophes in the title strings, you can use " by escaping them using a . This forces JS to read it as a character and not as part of the code structure. See the example below.
Thanks for pointing this one out guys! Sloppy code on my part.

var doc = Xml.parse(response.getContentText(), true)
var root = doc.getElement();
var entryList = "<ul>\n";
var entries = root.getElements("details");

Looks root node opening tag is missing. Is it original doc? or just paste error?
Try like this
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch("http://getRecords.php? oauth_token=3e73c7&lat="+lat+"&lon="+lon+"&searchFor="+text+"&miles=100&response_type=xml");
var doc = Xml.parse(response.getContentText(), true);
var records = doc.records.getElements("record");
var entryList = "<ul>\n";
for (var i=0; i < records.length; i++) {
var details = records[i].details;
var name = details.name.getText();
entryList += "<li>" + name + "</li>\n";
}
entryList += "</ul>\n";
return entryList;
