Google App Script problem in Loop emails when conversation length are long

Reference to the previous question to Filter Gmail body and paste in Spreadsheet
I had created below a google app script and set a trigger for after every 5 minutes:
function GetEmailsData(){
// SKIP TO OUT OF OFFICE HOURS AND DAYS
var nowH=new Date().getHours();
var nowD=new Date().getDay();
if (nowH>19||nowH<8||nowD==0) { return }
// START OPERATION
var Gmail = GmailApp;
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
var MasterSheet = ss.getSheetByName("Master");
var index = 2;
var aa = 0; // count already update entries
var na = 0; // count not update entries
var lasttime = MasterSheet.getRange("Z1").getValue(); // in spreadsheet i record the last time of email scanned, so next trigger will search after that
Logger.log(lasttime);
var cdate = new Date();
var ctime = cdate.getTime();
var qDate = MasterSheet.getRange("Z1").getValue();
Logger.log("QDATE IS " + qDate);
//problem # 1: from filter is not working.
// SEARCH EMAIL
var query = 'from: email id, subject: email subject, after:' + Math.floor((qDate.getTime()) /1000);
var threadsNew = Gmail.search(query);
Logger.log(threadsNew.length);
//loop all emails
for(var n in threadsNew){
var thdNew = threadsNew[n];
var msgsNew = thdNew.getMessages();　
var msgNew = msgsNew[msgsNew.length-1];
// GET ATTACHMENT
//var bodyNew = msgNew.getBody();
var plainbody = msgNew.getPlainBody();
var subject = msgNew.getSubject();
var Etime = msgNew.getDate();
//var attachments = msgNew.getAttachments();
//var attachment = attachments[0];
Logger.log(Etime);
Logger.log(subject);
//Logger.log(plainbody);
var tdata = plainbody.trim();
var data = parseEmail001(tdata);
//Logger.log(data);
// First Check Email Date
var newdate = new Date();
var dd = newdate.getDate();
var mm = newdate.getMonth() + 1;
var yyyy = newdate.getFullYear();
var cd = dd + "-" + mm + "-" + yyyy
//Logger.log(new Date());
//Logger.log(cd);
if (Etime.getDate() != dd) {return}
// first check current sheet exist or not
// DATE DECLARATION IS ABOVE
var itt = ss.getSheetByName(cd);
if (!itt) {
ss.insertSheet(cd);
var itt = ss.getSheetByName(cd);
var ms = ss.getSheetByName("Master");
var hlc = ms.getLastColumn();
var headings = ms.getRange(1,1,1,hlc).getValues();
itt.getRange(1,1,1,hlc).setValues(headings);
}
var MasterSheet = ss.getSheetByName(cd);
var mlr = MasterSheet.getLastRow();
var mlc = MasterSheet.getLastColumn();
//check data already updated or not
var NewDepositSlipNumber = Number(data[2]).toFixed(0);
//Logger.log(Number(data[2]).toFixed(0));
var olddata = MasterSheet.getDataRange().getValues();
//Logger.log(olddata[1][2]);
for(var i = 0; i<olddata.length;i++){
if(olddata[i][2] == NewDepositSlipNumber){
//Logger.log(i + 1);
var status = 'Already Update'
Logger.log(status);
break;
}
else{
var status = 'Not Update'
//Logger.log(status);
}
}
// count how many updated and how many not.
if(status == 'Not Update'){
na = na + 1;
}
else{
aa = aa + 1;
}
if(status == 'Not Update'){
MasterSheet.appendRow(data);
Logger.log("Data Updated");
}
}
//problem # 2: if conversation length are long, it is not reaching there
var lastscantime = threadsNew[0].getLastMessageDate();
var master = ss.getSheetByName("Master");
master.getRange("Z1").setValue(lastscantime);
Logger.log(lastscantime);
master.getRange("Z2").setValue(new Date());
Logger.log(new Date());
Logger.log("Total " + threadsNew.length + " found, out of which " + aa + " are already updated, while " + na + " are updated.");
}
function parseEmail001(message) {
var replaces = [
'Branch Code',
'Branch Name',
'Slip No',
'BL Number',
'Type Of Payment',
'Customer Name',
'Payer Bank',
'Payer Bank Branch',
'Transaction Type',
'Amount',
'Posting Date',
'Value Date'
];
return message.split('\n').slice(0, replaces.length)
.map((c,i) => c.replace(replaces[i], '').trim());
}
This script is working fine but I have two problems:
I placed three filters in query 1) from 2) subject 3) after
but sometimes it gives me emails that are from the same ID but different subject.
as per my observation, and I verified it by using debug mode if the conversation length is long I guess more than 30 it will not reach the end part of the script. it skipping my last step as I also marked it in the above script. and if conversation length is less it works smoothly.
explanation: in other words, from morning to evening it's working fine after every five minutes, but the next day it gets the problem, then I manually update my spreadsheet master sheet Z1 value as of today's date and time, then it works fine till tonight.

You might be reaching a script limitation. Possibly the custom function runtime.But it can be any, you should see an error if it didn't finish.

new Date return NaN or a wrong time starting from server date()

I'm trying to get server time at start and update it, cause i've to cotnrol some elements with real time. The problem is that if my serverTime doesn't have T the time is NaN on firefox and IE, but if i replace the empty space with T on chrome and IE i've a wrong time.
I now the work-around of replacing white space with T sucks but im outta of time :)
Thanks everybody
At start:
$tmpTime = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
Head:
<script>
var serverTime = '<?=$tmpTime?>';
serverTime = serverTime.replace(" ", "T");
</script>
Script:
setInterval(function () {
console.log(serverTime);
var tmpTime = new Date(serverTime);
console.log(tmpTime);
var t = tmpTime.getTime();
t = t + 1000;
tmpTime = new Date(t);
serverTime = t;
if (tmpTime.getMinutes() < 10) {
var minutes = "0" + tmpTime.getMinutes();
} else {
var minutes = tmpTime.getMinutes();
};
newTime = tmpTime.getHours() + ":" + minutes;
$('#liveTime').text(newTime);
if ($("#program li[time-id='" + newTime + "'][class='alert']").length !== 0) {
alert("Lo streaming da te programmato sta per iniziare!");
$("#program li[time-id='" + newTime + "'][class='alert']").removeClass("alert");
}
titleToShow();
}, 1000);
function titleToShow() {
$("#program li").each(function () {
var prevTime = $(this).prev("li").attr("time-id");
var thisTime = $(this).attr("time-id");
var nextTime = $(this).next("li").attr("time-id");
currentTime = Date.parse('01/01/2011 ' + newTime);
prevTime = Date.parse('01/01/2011 ' + prevTime);
nextTime = Date.parse('01/01/2011 ' + nextTime);
thisTimeNew = Date.parse('01/01/2011 ' + thisTime);
if (currentTime >= thisTimeNew && currentTime < nextTime && currentTime > prevTime) {
title = $(this).find("p").text();
if (title != $("p#playingTitle").text()) {
$("p#playingTitle").text(title);
}
}
})
}

Don’t use a formated date, just pass the Unix timestamp value to the script (don’t forget to multiply it by 1000, because JS works with milliseconds).
var serverTime = <?php echo time(); ?>;
var tmpTime = new Date(serverTime * 1000);

Count Up not stopping

Need that, the counter should be start after button click, when start count up - start button must be inactive, after count up finish - button must be active and have someone function.
var refDate = new Date("2013 01 18 16:41");
var prepend = "This is a message ";
var append = new Date(refDate).toLocaleString();
var refValue = "1,100.00";
function insertCommas(nAmt) {
var currAmt = nAmt.toFixed(2);
while (/(\d+)(\d{3})/.test(currAmt)) {
currAmt = currAmt.replace(/(\d+)(\d{3})/, "$1,$2");
}
return currAmt;
}
function dispCounter() {
var currDate = new Date();
var elapsedSeconds = Math.round((refDate - currDate) / 100);
var elapsedValue = elapsedSeconds / 100;
var nRef = refValue.replace(/\,/g, "");
var result = insertCommas(nRef - elapsedValue);
document.getElementById('upCount').innerHTML = prepend + " $" + result + " since " + append;
setTimeout("dispCounter()", 1500);
}
navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer" ? attachEvent('onload', dispCounter, false) : addEventListener('load', dispCounter, false);

Different line of text each hour

I'm trying to make a site that displays a different line of text depending on the hour (GMT). I have tried using javascript, but I'm very much a beginner! I've managed to piece the following bit of code together but can't seem to get it to work. Any help appreciated!
function getTime(zone, success) {
var url = 'http://json-time.appspot.com/time.json?tz=' + zone,
ud = 'json' + (+new Date());
window[ud]= function(o){
success && success(new Date(o.datetime));
};
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild((function(){
var s = document.createElement('script');
s.type = 'text/javascript';
s.src = url + '&callback=' + ud;
return s;
})());
}
getTime('GMT', function(time){
if (time>10 && time<11)
{
document.write("<b>Paris</b>");
}
;
});

Javascript has a Date class.
var hour = new Date().getHours();
if(...) {
// do something
}
This code extract
if (hour>10 && hour<11)
can't be working with hours, because time can't be > 10 and < 11 at the same time (hour is an int).

How about:
var now = new Date();
var utcMillis = now.getTime() + now.getTimzoneOffset() * 60000;
var hour = new Date(utcMillis).getHours(); // 0-23
switch(hour) {
case 10: document.write("<b>Paris</b>"); break;
//...
}
Some good info here: http://www.techrepublic.com/article/convert-the-local-time-to-another-time-zone-with-this-javascript/6016329
You could also put your phrases in an array (which you might get from the server):
var phrases = ["Hi!", "blah", "more blah", ...];
... and then you can replace the switch above with:
document.write("<b>" + phrases[hour] + "</b>");
You might want to save yourself some time and use a framework that makes things work pretty much the same way across different browsers. JQuery is my favorite, but there are plenty. Such libraries make it easy to manipulate content in your page, fetch JSON from the server, etc etc.

At first sight:
o.datetime is wrong formatted for JS Date method.
you return an instance of new Date() to get the hour use .getHours()
You can look here to find a way to convert your dateString from o.datetime How can I convert string to datetime with format specification in JavaScript?
Use time.getHours() > 12 instead of time > 12
If you use: getDateFromFormat() from http://www.mattkruse.com/javascript/date/ I think the conversion will be something like E, dd MMM hh:mm:ss +0000
SIMPLE ANSWER:
You can just parse the hour to your callback: (See your JSON here http://json-time.appspot.com/time.json?tz=GMT)
function getTime(zone, success) {
var url = 'http://json-time.appspot.com/time.json?tz=' + zone,
ud = 'json' + (+new Date());
window[ud]= function(o){
success && success(o.hour); // See o.hour here
};
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild((function(){
var s = document.createElement('script');
s.type = 'text/javascript';
s.src = url + '&callback=' + ud;
return s;
})());
}
getTime('GMT', function(time){
if (time>10 && time<11) {
document.write("<b>Paris</b>");
}
});

I've created a quick jsfiddle page: http://jsfiddle.net/eBAGS/5/ with a demo that should do what you need. It gets the time from the users PC rather than from a server though, but it could be modified.
HTML
<button onClick="getPhrase()">Show me a phrase for this hour</button>
<div id="placeHolder"></div>
Javascript
function getPhrase() {
h = new Date().getHours(); //Get the current hour
phrase = new Array(); //Create an array of phrases
phrase[1] = 'Hello';
phrase[2] = 'there';
phrase[3] = 'this';
phrase[4] = 'will';
phrase[5] = 'show';
phrase[6] = 'a';
phrase[7] = 'different';
phrase[8] = 'message';
phrase[9] = 'depending';
phrase[10] = 'on';
phrase[11] = 'the';
phrase[12] = 'hour';
phrase[13] = 'of';
phrase[14] = 'day';
phrase[15] = 'that';
phrase[16] = 'you';
phrase[17] = 'look';
phrase[18] = 'at';
phrase[19] = 'it';
phrase[20] = '!';
phrase[21] = 'W';
phrase[22] = 'X';
phrase[23] = 'Y';
phrase[24] = 'Z';
document.getElementById('placeHolder').innerHTML = phrase[h-1]; //Show the array item relevant to the hour
}​

Date formatting options using Javascript

I have this code that updates a calendar widget and input field, while validating the date. We want the user to be able to input any type of m-d-y format (m.d.y, m-d-y, and so on). The problem is the YUI calendar widget only accepts the m/d/y format. All others it returns as NaN. I have tried a couple ways to format the date, but can't get anything that seems to work. I would like to be able to do this with out a lot of overblown code. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best approach here? Here is my code:
//CALENDAR --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
var initCal = function(calendarContainer){
if(YAHOO.env.getVersion("calendar")){
var txtDate = Dom.get("dateOfLoss");
var myDate = new Date();
var day = myDate.getDate();
var month = myDate.getMonth() +1;
var year = myDate.getFullYear() -1;
var newDate = month + "/" + day + "/" + year;
function handleSelect(type, args, obj){
var dates = args[0];
var date = dates[0];
var year = date[0], month = date[1], day = date[2];
txtDate.value = month + "/" + day + "/" + year;
aCal.hide();
}
function updateCal(){
if (!(txtDate.value.match(/((\d{2})|(\d))\/|\-((\d{2})|(\d))\/|\-((\d{4})|(\d{2}))/))) {
alert("Enter date in mm/dd/yy or mm/dd/yyyy format.");
}
else {
if (txtDate.value != "") {
aCal.select(txtDate.value);
var selectedDates = aCal.getSelectedDates();
if (selectedDates.length > 0) {
var firstDate = selectedDates[0];
aCal.cfg.setProperty("pagedate", (firstDate.getMonth() + 1) + "/" + firstDate.getFullYear());
aCal.render();
}
else {
alert("Date of Loss must be within the past year.");
}
}
}
}
var aCal = new YAHOO.widget.Calendar(null, calendarContainer, {
mindate: newDate,
maxdate: new Date(),
title: "Select Date",
close: true
});
aCal.selectEvent.subscribe(handleSelect, aCal, true);
aCal.render();
Event.addListener("update", "click", updateCal);
Event.addListener(txtDate, "change", function(e){
updateCal();
});
// Listener to show the 1-up Calendar when the button is clicked
// Hide Calendar if we click anywhere in the document other than the calendar
Event.on(document, "click", function(e){
var el = Event.getTarget(e);
if(Dom.hasClass(el, "calendarButton"))
aCal.show();
else if (Dom.hasClass(el, "link-close") || !Dom.isAncestor(calendarContainer, el))
aCal.hide();
});
}
else {
var successHandler = function() {
initCal(calendarContainer);
};
OURPLACE.loadComponent("calendar", successHandler);
}
};

Did you tried http://www.datejs.com/?
Maybe you can define some patterns and test agaist the input.
How can I convert string to datetime with format specification in JavaScript?

var updateCal = function(){
if (!(txtDate.value.match(/^(0?[1-9]|1[012])[- /.](0?[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[- /.]\d\d+$/))) {
return;
}
//else if ((txtDate.value.match(/^(0?[1-9]|1[012])[- .](0?[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[- .]\d\d+$/))) {
//}
else {
var changedDate = txtDate.value;
changedDate = changedDate.replace(/[. -]/g, "/");
txtDate.value = changedDate;
badClaimDate = claimDateWithinPastYear();
aCal.select(changedDate);
I used a RegEx to determine which, if any, delimiters needed to be replaced and simply used .replace.
