I am newbie in javascript and i need some help please my goal is to convert a csv file to an ofx , I have found an open source and i want to understand it to modify it as my requirements,
this is the function in javascript:
// csv to ofx
function convert(csvData, filename) {
csvData = csvData.split('\n').map(row => row.trim())
csvDataInfoRow1 = csvData[0].split(';');
csvDataInfoRow2 = csvData[1].split(';');
csvDataInfoRow4 = csvData[3].split(';');
// the date at the end of the period
let dateEnd = csvDataInfoRow1[3].substr(csvDataInfoRow1[3].length - 10).split('/');
// the date at the beginning of the period
let dateBeginning = csvDataInfoRow1[2].substr(csvDataInfoRow1[2].length - 10).split('/');
My Question is why the programmer add just 3 variables:
csvDataInfoRow1 = csvData[0].split(';');
csvDataInfoRow2 = csvData[1].split(';');
csvDataInfoRow4 = csvData[3].split(';');
and not more or less varibles like that , what i mean for example why he just stopped in csvDataInfoRow4 = csvData[3].split(';') and what he want to do by this instruction !; also why for example he did'nt complete another variable like : csvDataInfoRow5 = csvData[4].split(';') and so on ...
maybe the code was only for three line CSVs
I'm working to automate the flow of data that we use to power some of our analytics/reporting. To summarize, I have a CSV in Google Drive that needs to be imported into a Google Sheet. The CSV contains line breaks in some of the "cells" that is causing the import to be completely askew / out of line. To be clear, I can get the data, but it is misaligned due to the line breaks in the CSV.
I started with code from Ctrl:
function importCSVFromGoogleDrive() {
var file = DriveApp.getFilesByName("tweet_activity.csv").next();
var csvData = Utilities.parseCsv(file.getBlob().getDataAsString());
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
sheet.getRange(1, 1, csvData.length, csvData[0].length).setValues(csvData);
}
I quickly discovered that, while the code did import the file, the line breaks ruined the alignment of the data. Upon inspection, it's clear that the line breaks are the genesis of the issue.
I scoured the forums and found some possible fixes ([here](Saving as CSV through google script handling newline characters
) and [here](Apps Script Utilities.parseCsv assumes new row on line breaks within double quotes
) for instance)
I've tried:
function importCSVFromGoogleDrive_v2() {
var file = DriveApp.getFilesByName("tweet_activity.csv").next();
var NewFile = file.replace("\n", " ").replace("\r", " ");
var csvData = Utilities.parseCsv(NewFile.getBlob().getDataAsString());
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
sheet.getRange(1, 1, csvData.length, csvData[0].length).setValues(csvData);
}
This resulted in "TypeError: Cannot find function replace in object tweet_activity.csv. (line 42, file "Code")"
I also tried replacing the line breaks after the parse.
function importCSVFromGoogleDrive_v3() {
var file = DriveApp.getFilesByName("tweet_activity_metrics_downtownstlouis_20190303_20190331_en.csv").next();
var csvData = Utilities.parseCsv(file.getBlob().getDataAsString());
var csvDataRev = csvData.replace("\n", " ").replace("\r", " ");
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
sheet.getRange(1, 1, csvData.length, csvData[0].length).setValues(csvData);
}
This resulted in "TypeError: Cannot find function replace in object"
Finally, I tried different replace code (I modified for my purposes, but this was the pertinent part):
var dataString = myBlob().getDataAsString();
var escapedString = dataString.replace(/(?=["'])(?:"[^"\](?:\[\s\S][^"\])"|'[^'\]\r\n(?:\[\s\S][^'\]\r\n)')/g, function(match) { return match.replace(/\r\n/g,"\r\n")} );
var csvData = Utilities.parseCsv(escapedString);
No dice.
Any suggestions on how to deal with the line breaks in this scenario?
Am trying to get the url's printed in a column and am getting this error:
"Incorrect range height,was 1 but should be 132 (line 37, file "Code")"
and when am getting the url in debugger, am getting it in this form:
"http\://myrul.com\:8080/abcde/" and i have more than 130+ urls which am getting from API. now my second concern is i wanna somehow split and get the url in this form:
"http://myrul.com:8080/abcde/"
(remove all the backslash's from all the 130 urls)
hope u guys can help
Thanks
here is the function that i have written:
`
function fetchFromApi() {
var url = '<<my api from where am fetching the data>>';
var urlResponse = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url);
var urlResult = JSON.parse(urlResponse);
var key = Object.keys(urlResult);
var tempArr = [];
for (var x in urlResult) {
var value = urlResult[x];
tempArr.push(value)
}
inputSheet.getRange(2,6,tempArr.length,1).setValues([tempArr]);
Logger.log(tempArr);
}
`
For the second part please use the following regex
value.replace(/\\/g, '');
Please insert it inside your loop.
Please see how it works here
I'm trying to fill some inputs when you load a page, using the data I have from a .txt file. This file has a list of numbers
1
2
3
Something like this. So I wanted to read this lines and put them in their corresponding input. Suggestions on how to do this??
I tried with this code, but maybe I have a mistake that I don't know about, I'm starting with javascript.
function loadvalues()
{
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var s = fso.OpenTextFile("E://Steelplanner/Demand_Routing/Pruebas/OrderBalancing_Masivos/ModificaFechaTope/DueDate/Datosactuales.txt", true);
var Ia5 = document.getElementById("Ia5sem");
var text = s.ReadLine();
Ia5.value = text;
Try using file.ReadLine() until document not completely read using while loop with AtEndOfStream of file variable.
Here is example you can refer: ReadLine Method
Don't forget to replace TextFile path to your own text file path
My text file contains same data as in your example
<script type="text/javascript">
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
//specify the local path to Open and always add escape character else throw error for bad file name
var file = fso.OpenTextFile("C:\\Users\\MY_USER\\Desktop\\txtfile.txt", 1);
var Ia5 = document.getElementById("Ia5sem");
while (!file.AtEndOfStream) {
var r = file.ReadLine();
Ia5.innerHTML = Ia5.innerHTML + ("<br />" + r);
}
file.Close();
</script>
<p id="Ia5sem">HI</p>
So, I don't know why, but I just changed the name of the variables and made a slight change in the .OpenTextFile line and it worked.
function loadvalues()
{
var file = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var text = file.OpenTextFile("E:\\Steelplanner\\Demand_Routing\\Pruebas\\OrderBalancing_Masivos\\ModificaFechaTope\\DueDate\\Datosactuales.txt", 1,false);
var Ia5s = document.getElementById("Ia5sem");
Ia5s.value = text.ReadLine();
var Ia4s = document.getElementById("Ia4sem");
Ia4s.value = text.ReadLine();
text.close();
}
Anyways, I'm gonna check the FileReader() for future references and the script #Sarjan gave, maybe I can improve it, but I have other things to finish. Thanks for everything.
in my node app, I'm trying to clean up a csv file.
first, I split it into separate lines
then I replace unwanted characters in the first line (the column headers)
then I re-assemble the file by pushing individual lines into a new array, and writing that array to a new .csv file
For some reason, all my rows ending up being shifted by 1 position with respect to the header row.
I have opened the resulting file in a vu editor, and can see, that all rows somehow acquired a "," character at the besieging
I know I'm doing something incorrectly, but can not see what that is.
Here is my code:
var XLSX = require('xlsx');
var fs = require('fs');
var csv = require("fast-csv");
var workbook = XLSX.readFile('Lineitems.xls');
var worksheet = workbook.Sheets['Sheet1'];
var csv_conversion = XLSX.utils.sheet_to_csv(worksheet);
var csv_lines = csv_conversion.split('\n');
var dirtyHeaderLine = csv_lines[0];
var cleanHeaderLine = dirtyHeaderLine.replace(/\./g,"")
.replace(/"'"/g,"")
.replace(/","/g,"")
.replace(/"\/"/g,"")
.replace(/"#"/g,"");
cleanHeaderLine = cleanHeaderLine.replace(/,+$/, "");
console.log(cleanHeaderLine);
csv_lines[0] = cleanHeaderLine;
var newCsvLines = [];
csv_lines.forEach(function(line){
newCsvLines.push(line + "\n");
});
fs.writeFile('clean_file.csv', newCsvLines, function(err) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('clean file saved');
});
I don't see any glaring errors here (maybe something with your regex? Not an expert on those) but this will solve your issue.
if (line.charAt(0) == ',') { line = line.substring(1); }
Adjust your variables accordingly. I don't think I have the same case as you.
