What NScriptType: ServerScript to use in NetSuite field value update script

I am looking to update a numeric field for multiple records with arithmetic, not just overriding the current value with a new one. To do this, I plan on uploading a file with the identifier of the item and the new value being added. Parse the file and use custom searches to find the corresponding records, then loading, updating and saving the proper record. However, how to run the script is where I get confused.
I have created previous scripts beforeLoad scripts which run on entering the edit view of an item, but I have not used any server side scripts yet (I read that when accessing files from the filing cabinet, you must use a server side script).
Any information about server script types and when to use them would be appreciated. Thank you.

For this sort of thing a Map/Reduce script is your best bet
You can pass a fileId as a parameter and your getInputData stage can just load and return the file(which, IIRC, sends each line to your map stage). Your map stage has to ignore the header, if present, and any trailing bad lines.
I havent' been able to easily find a script that I've written that does that but I'm pretty sure I have done that.
Normally though I do something like this for processing a file into the map stage:
function getInputData(){
try{
var me = runtime.getCurrentScript();
var targetFileId = <number>me.getParameter({name:'custscript_kotn_att_emp_file'});
var targetFile = file.load({id:targetFileId});
log.audit({title: 'getting data', details:targetFile.name +' ' + targetFile.size});
var empLines = [];
targetFile.lines.iterator().each(line=>{
var parts = line.value.split('|');
if(parts.length >2 && parts.length != expectColumns.length){
throw new Error('Unexpected line length. Had '+ parts.length +' expected '+ expectColumns.length);
}
if(parts.length > 2){
empLines.push(parts);
}
return true;
});
log.audit({title: 'got employee lines', details:empLines.length});
return empLines;
}catch(e){
log.error({
title:"in input stage",
details : (e.message || e.toString()) + (e.getStackTrace ? (' \n \n' + e.getStackTrace().join(' \n')) : '')
});
return null;
}
};
function map(ctx){
const empLine = JSON.parse(ctx.value);
//you have an array of the parsed line
}

How can I get automatically numbered headings in confluence?

Currently it is not possible in confluence to have the headings of the document structure numbered automatically. I am aware that there are (paid) 3rd party plugins available.
How can I achieve continuous numbered headings?

TL;DR
Create a bookmark for the following javascript and click it in edit mode in confluence to renumber your headings.
javascript:(function()%7Bfunction%20addIndex()%20%7Bvar%20indices%20%3D%20%5B%5D%3BjQuery(%22.ak-editor-content-area%20.ProseMirror%22).find(%22h1%2Ch2%2Ch3%2Ch4%2Ch5%2Ch6%22).each(function(i%2Ce)%20%7Bvar%20hIndex%20%3D%20parseInt(this.nodeName.substring(1))%20-%201%3Bif%20(indices.length%20-%201%20%3E%20hIndex)%20%7Bindices%3D%20indices.slice(0%2C%20hIndex%20%2B%201%20)%3B%7Dif%20(indices%5BhIndex%5D%20%3D%3D%20undefined)%20%7Bindices%5BhIndex%5D%20%3D%200%3B%7Dindices%5BhIndex%5D%2B%2B%3BjQuery(this).html(indices.join(%22.%22)%2B%22.%20%22%20%2B%20removeNo(jQuery(this).html()))%3B%7D)%3B%7Dfunction%20removeNo(str)%20%7Blet%20newstr%20%3D%20str.trim()%3Bnewstr%20%3D%20newstr.replace(%2F%5B%5Cu00A0%5Cu1680%E2%80%8B%5Cu180e%5Cu2000-%5Cu2009%5Cu200a%E2%80%8B%5Cu200b%E2%80%8B%5Cu202f%5Cu205f%E2%80%8B%5Cu3000%5D%2Fg%2C'%20')%3Bif(IsNumeric(newstr.substring(0%2Cnewstr.indexOf('%20'))))%7Breturn%20newstr.substring(newstr.indexOf('%20')%2B1).trim()%3B%7Dreturn%20newstr%3B%7Dfunction%20IsNumeric(num)%20%7Bnum%20%3D%20num.split('.').join(%22%22)%3Breturn%20(num%20%3E%3D0%20%7C%7C%20num%20%3C%200)%3B%7DaddIndex()%7D)()
Result
How to use
After changes to the structure have been made, clicking the bookmarked javascript renumbers the document.
Limitations are that it only provides n.n.n. numbering, but for many cases that's sufficient. The script can also be customized as required.
Background, explanation and disclosure
I tried this TaperMonkey script that apparently resulted from this post, but it didn't work as is. So I took its source code and stripped it of the integration code, old version compatibility and made some minor adjustments to get this:
function addIndex() {
var indices = [];
jQuery(".ak-editor-content-area .ProseMirror").find("h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6").each(function(i,e) {
var hIndex = parseInt(this.nodeName.substring(1)) - 1;
if (indices.length - 1 > hIndex) {
indices= indices.slice(0, hIndex + 1 );
}
if (indices[hIndex] == undefined) {
indices[hIndex] = 0;
}
indices[hIndex]++;
jQuery(this).html(indices.join(".")+". " + removeNo(jQuery(this).html()));
});
}
function removeNo(str) {
let newstr = str.trim();
newstr = newstr.replace(/[\u00A0\u1680​\u180e\u2000-\u2009\u200a​\u200b​\u202f\u205f​\u3000]/g,' ');
if(IsNumeric(newstr.substring(0,newstr.indexOf(' ')))){
return newstr.substring(newstr.indexOf(' ')+1).trim();
}
return newstr;
}
function IsNumeric(num) {
num = num.split('.').join("");
return (num >=0 || num < 0);
}
addIndex();
(I'm not a JavaScript developer, I'm sure it can be written nicer/better)
Then I used bookmarklet to convert it into the javascript bookmark at the top, which can be clicked to trigger the functionality.

How to write (SetValues) to a Google Sheet using a filtered forEach loop?

I've been trying for hours to make the following Google Apps Script work. What it needs to do, is send emails (from an html-template) to anyone that:
has a complete Event Schedule (which is completed if they have been
assigned to at least 4 events, which is counted in column Q);
has NOT been sent an email earlier (which is kept track of in column
R);
The script keeps track of errors in column S, i.e. if there's no email address provided.
It appears it only works:
if I comment out
data = data.filter(function(r){ return r[17] == true & r[16] > 3});
or if I comment out
ws.getRange("S3:S" + ws.getLastRow()).setValues(errors);
ws.getRange("R3:R" + ws.getLastRow()).setValues(mailSucces);
How can I get this script to work properly?
A copy of the Google Sheet I'm referring to is this one:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sbOlvLVVfiQMWxNZmtCLuizci2cQB9Kfd8tYz64gjP0/edit?usp=sharing
This is my code so far:
function SendEmail(){
var voornaam = 3;
var achternaam = 4;
var email = 5;
var event1 = 9;
var event2 = 10;
var event3 = 11;
var event4 = 12;
var event5 = 13;
var event6 = 14;
var event7 = 15;
var emailTemp = HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile("email");
var ws = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Events Day 1");
var datum = ws.getRange(1,3).getValue();
var spreker = ws.getRange(1,6).getValue();
var data = ws.getRange("A3:R" + ws.getLastRow()).getValues();
data = data.filter(function(r){ return r[17] == false && r[16] > 3}); //Either this needs to be commented out...
let errors = [];
let mailSucces = [];
data.forEach(function(row){
try{
emailTemp.voornaam = row[voornaam];
emailTemp.email = row[email];
emailTemp.datum = datum;
emailTemp.spreker = spreker;
emailTemp.event1 = row[event1];
emailTemp.event2 = row[event2];
emailTemp.event3 = row[event3];
emailTemp.event4 = row[event4];
emailTemp.event5 = row[event5];
emailTemp.event6 = row[event6];
emailTemp.event7 = row[event7];
var htmlMessage = emailTemp.evaluate().getContent();
GmailApp.sendEmail(
row[email],
"Here you go! Your personal schedule for the event of " + datum,
"Your emailprogramm doesn't support html.",
{
name: "Event Organisation Team", htmlBody: htmlMessage, replyTo: "info#fakeemail.com"
});
errors.push([""]);
mailSucces.push(["TRUE"]);
}
catch(err){
errors.push(["Error: no message sent."]);
mailSucces.push(["False"]);
}
}); //close forEach
ws.getRange("S3:S" + ws.getLastRow()).setValues(errors); //or this and the next line need to be commented out.
ws.getRange("R3:R" + ws.getLastRow()).setValues(mailSucces);
}
Edit I have been trying and thinking en trying... but still haven't found out how to make it work. But I also got understanding of why it's not working; I just don't know how to get it fixed.
Let me elaborate on the problem a bit more:
The problem is, that within the forEach loop the range is a filtered variant of the data, pulled from the spreadsheet with getValues. Therefore, writing data back with ws.getRange("R3:R" + ws.getLastRow()).setValues(mailSucces); results in mismatched checkmarks in te spreadsheet.
So, somehow I need to put the range of the previous used filter data = data.filter(function(r){ return r[17] == false & r[16] > 3}); in a variable...? I guess?
Furthermore, I don't think it's wise to use setValue within the loop, because (from what I understand from my searching on the topic) this results in a slow script, because every loop the script makes an API call to write in the spreadsheet. Hence the errors.push and mailSucces.push, and my attempt to do a setValue at the end, after the loop is finished.
Can someone help me to finish this problem?

The problem is different size of the range you write to and data you are writing in.
Try replacing:
ws.getRange("S3:S" + ws.getLastRow()).setValues(errors);
ws.getRange("R3:R" + ws.getLastRow()).setValues(mailSucces);
With:
ws.getRange(3, 19, errors.length, 1).setValues(errors);
ws.getRange(3, 18, mailSucces.length, 1).setValues(mailSucces);
You should use this variation of getRange
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/spreadsheet/sheet#getrangerow,-column,-numrows,-numcolumns
Your data has non-fixed number of rows and fixed number of columns (1). In general case your data will be matrix of X rows and Y columns. For that purpose you can make it completely dynamic:
sheet.getRange(startRow, startColumn, data.length, data[0].length)
Just make sure data.length is > 0 before you do this, otherwise data[0].length will break.
Edit:
I started writing a comment but it got too long. There are couple of things that may go wrong with sending emails. First thing I noticed is that you use & in filter, but in AppsScript/JavaScript/C-like-languages, you should use && for logical AND. Now the email: you only detect the code break with the catch block. At this point you don't know why the code breaks it could be anything. With GmailApp I recommend you to use createDraft while developing, then when all ok replace it with sendEmail for the final version, both functions have the exact same parameters, thank you Google devs ;-).
To find out the exact problem you should get the error message on break and display it. err.stack should tell you pretty much everything:
catch(err){
Logger.log(err.stack); // Added
errors.push(["Error: no message sent."]);
mailSucces.push(["False"]);
}
Run the sendEmail function from the code editor and you should see the Log for each catch(err) pass.

Unable to Get Output From While Loop in Javascript

I'm working on my final project of the Winter 2017 quarter to demonstrate how to use Regular Expressions in both C# and JavaScript code behind pages. I've got the C# version of my demonstration program done, but the JavaScript version is making me pull what little hair I have left on my head out (no small achievement since I got a fresh buzz cut this morning!). The problem involves not getting any output after applying a Regular Expression in a While loop to get each instance of the expression and printing it out.
On my HTML page I have an input textarea, seven radio buttons, an output textarea, and two buttons underneath (one button is to move the output text to the input area to perform multiple iterations of applying expressions, and the other button to clear all textareas for starting from scratch). Each radio button links to a function that applies a regular expression to the text in the input area. Five of my seven functions work; the sixth is the one I can't figure out, and the seventh is essentially the same but with a slightly different RegEx pattern, so if I fix the sixth function, the seventh function will be a snap.
(I tried to insert/upload a JPG of the front end, but the photo upload doesn't seem to be working. Hopefully you get the drift of what I've set up.)
Here are my problem children from my JS code behind:
// RegEx_Demo_JS.js - code behind for RegEx_Demo_JS
var inputString; // Global variable for the input from the input text box.
var pattern; // Global variable for the regular expression.
var result; // Global variable for the result of applying the regular expression to the user input.
// Initializes a new instance of the StringBuilder class
// and appends the given value if supplied
function StringBuilder()
{
var strings = [];
this.append = function (string)
{
string = verify(string);
if (string.length > 0) strings[strings.length] = string;
}
this.appendLine = function (string)
{
string = verify(string);
if (this.isEmpty())
{
if (string.length > 0) strings[strings.length] = string;
else return;
}
else strings[strings.length] = string.length > 0 ? "\r\n" + string : "\r\n";
}
this.clear = function () { strings = []; };
this.isEmpty = function () { return strings.length == 0; };
this.toString = function () { return strings.join(""); };
var verify = function (string)
{
if (!defined(string)) return "";
if (getType(string) != getType(new String())) return String(string);
return string;
}
var defined = function (el)
{
// Changed per Ryan O'Hara's comment:
return el != null && typeof(el) != "undefined";
}
var getType = function (instance)
{
if (!defined(instance.constructor)) throw Error("Unexpected object type");
var type = String(instance.constructor).match(/function\s+(\w+)/);
return defined(type) ? type[1] : "undefined";
}
}
Within the code of the second radio button (which will be the seventh and last function to complete), I tested the ScriptBuilder with data in a local variable, and it ran successfully and produced output into the output textarea. But I get no output from this next function that invokes a While loop:
function RegEx_Match_TheOnly_AllInstances()
{
inputString = document.getElementById("txtUserInput").value;
pattern = /(\s+the\s+)/ig; // Using an Flag (/i) to select either lowercase or uppercase version. Finds first occurrence either as a standalone word or inside a word.
//result = pattern.exec(inputString); // Finds the first index location
var arrResult; // Array for the results of the search.
var sb = getStringBuilder(); // Variable to hold iterations of the result and the text
while ((arrResult = pattern.exec(inputString)) !==null)
{
sb.appendLine = "Match: " + arrResult[0] ;
}
document.getElementById("txtRegExOutput").value = sb.toString();
/* Original code from C# version:
// string pattern = #"\s+(?i)the\s+"; // Same as above, but using Option construct for case insensitive search.
string pattern = #"(^|\s+)(?i)the(\W|\s+)";
MatchCollection matches = Regex.Matches(userTextInput, pattern);
StringBuilder outputString = new StringBuilder();
foreach (Match match in matches)
{
string outputRegExs = "Match: " + "\"" + match.Value + "\"" + " at index [" + match.Index + ","
+ (match.Index + match.Length) + "]" + "\n";
outputString.Append(outputRegExs);
}
txtRegExOutput.Text = outputString.ToString();
*/
} // End RegEx_Match_The_AllInstances
I left the commented code in to show what I had used in the C# code behind version to illustrate what I'm trying to accomplish.
The test input/string I used for this function is:
Don’t go there. If you want to be the Man, you have to beat The Man.
That should return two hits. Ideally, I want it to show the word that it found and the index where it found the word, but at this point I'd be happy to just get some output showing every instance it found, and then build on that with the index and possibly the lastIndex.
So, is my problem in my While loop, the way I'm applying the StringBuilder, or a combination of the two? I know the StringBuilder code works, at least when not being used in a loop and using some test data from the site I found that code. And the code for simply finding the first instance of "the" as a standalone or inside another word does work and returns output, but that doesn't use a loop.
I've looked through Stack Overflow and several other JavaScript websites for inspiration, but nothing I've tried so far has worked. I appreciate any help anyone can provide! (If you need me to post any other code, please advise and I'll be happy to oblige.)

Updating a ScriptProperty to avoid retrieving duplicate Twitter statuses

I was interested in writing a twitter bot to help out some friends at a local ski resort. I found this tutorial from Amit Agarwal which gave me enough to get started (it did take me more than 5 minutes since I did a lot of modifying). I host the script on google docs.
FIRST I think this is javascript (my understanding is that google apps script uses javascript...) and when I have had problems with the code so far, google searches for javascript-such-and-such have been helpful, but if this is not actually javascript, please let me know so I can update the tag accordingly!
I have no prior experience with javascript, so I am pretty happy that it's actually working. But I want to see if I'm doing this right.
The start function initiates the trigger, which kicks off the fetchTweets() function every interval (30 minutes). In order to avoid duplicates (the first errors I encountered) & potentially being flagged as spam, I needed a way to ensure that I was not posting the same tweets over and over again. Within the start() function, the initial since_id value is assigned:
ScriptProperties.setProperty("SINCE_TWITTER_ID", "404251049889759234");
Within the fetchTweet() function, I think I am updating this property with the statement:
ScriptProperties.setProperty("SINCE_TWITTER_ID", lastID + '\n');
Is this a good way to do this? Or is there a better/more reliable way? And if so, how can I be sure it's updating the property? (I can check the log file and it seems to be doing it, so I probably just need to create a permanent text file for the logger).
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

When you use ScriptProperties.setProperty("KEY", "VALUE");, internally Script Properties will overwrite a duplicate key (i.e., if an old Property has the same key, your new one will replace it). So in your case, since you are using the same identifier for the key (SINCE_TWITTER_ID), it will replace any previous Script Property that is that key.
Furthermore, you can view Script Properties via File -> Project properties -> Project properties (tab). Imo Google didn't name that very well. User properties as specific to Google users. Script properties as specific to the Script Project you are working under.
Also, it probably isn't a good idea to include \n in your value when you set the property. That will lead to all sorts of bugs down the road, because you'll have to compare with something like the following:
var valToCompare = "My value\n";
instead of:
var valToCompare = "My value";
because the value in SINCE_TWITTER_ID will actually be "some value\n" after you call your fetchTweet() function.
Of course, one seems more logical I think, unless you really need the line breaks (in which case you should be using them somewhere else, for this application).

Its ok like that thou I dont know why you are adding \n at fhe end. Might confuse other code. You can see script properties in the script's file menu+ properties
