I have a script that takes the current document and looks for a user defined string using findText. If that string contains a quote (like: Bob's Burgers). findText does not find it. I know it uses regular expressions, but I cannot figure out how to format the expression so it finds this properly.
code example:
var target = "Bob's Burgers";
var body = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getBody();
try
{
var searchResult = body.findText(target);
//does not find the text. But can find Bob easily.
}
catch(e) { ...}
I tried the findText method using the code from this post:
function highlightText(findMe) {
var body = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getBody();
var foundElement = body.findText(findMe);
while (foundElement != null) {
// Get the text object from the element
var foundText = foundElement.getElement().asText();
// Where in the Element is the found text?
var start = foundElement.getStartOffset();
var end = foundElement.getEndOffsetInclusive();
// Change the background color to yellow
foundText.setBackgroundColor(start, end, "#FCFC00");
// Find the next match
foundElement = body.findText(findMe, foundElement);
}
}
function myFunction() {
highlightText("Bob’s Burger");
}
Result:
Hope this helps.
Use \` instead of ` to escape it.
var target = "Bob\'s Burgers";

I use this script to search and replace in multiple doc files but every time i use this there is a blank line does anyone know how I can get rid of the blank line
function myFunction() {
var files = DriveApp.getFolderById("1ZMxrX5CKmB5RIiE9hY94h4WuMoRqkj").getFiles();
while (files.hasNext()) {
var file = files.next();
var body = DocumentApp.openById(file.getId());
body.replaceText( ".*(111).*", "");
Logger.log(file.getName())
}
Logger.log("Done")
}
my dokomente look like this
1232888
1114172
8587527
7588696
1112858
5875885
after i run my script it looks like this
1232888
8587527
7588696
5875885
but I would like to have it like this
1232888
8587527
7588696
5875885
Try this:
function myFunction() {
let doc = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument();
let body = doc.getBody();
let n=body.getNumChildren();
for(let i=0;i<n;i++) {
let child = body.getChild(i);
if(child.asText().findText(".*(111).*")) {
child.removeFromParent();
--n;
}
}
}
for some reasons new RegExp is not working in Edge and FireFox. How can I get around this?
var arrOfWordsToHighlight = ["microsoft","excel"];
function escapeRegExp(arrOfWordsToHighlight) {
return arrOfWordsToHighlight.replace(/[.*+?^${}()|[\]\\]/g, '\\$&'); // $& means the whole matched string
}
var pattern = new RegExp("(?<![\\w-])(" + arrOfWordsToHighlight.map(escapeRegExp).join("|") + ")(?![\\w-])", "gi");
$('#job').highlightWithinTextarea({
highlight: pattern
});
See: https://jsfiddle.net/seb_london/wm9yqazj
var totalList_grps = element.all(by.css('p.group-name-text'));
totalList_grps.getText().then(function(text){
console.log('Total list of joined groups : ' + text);
});
Tried the above code for printing list of group names.
Got Output :Total list of joined groups : Party,Innovation,capsLock,Gym,Sunrisers
AW,Big Boss.
Now i need to search for a particular name using if else condition and i tried the second set of code, but its not displaying any output not even a error.
totalList_grps.getText().then(function(itemList) {
expect(itemList).toContain('Big Boss');
});
Here is developers code
1) use by.cssContainingText():
var bigBoss = element(by.cssContainingText('p.group-name-text', 'Big Boss'));
// then you can call click(), getText(), getAttribute('') on found element as following:
bigBoss.click();
2) use elements.filter():
var bigBoss = element.all(by.css('p.group-name-text'))
.filter(function(it){
return it.getText().then(function(txt){
console.log('txt: ' + txt);
return txt === 'Big Boss' || txt.includes('Big Boss');
});
})
.first();
3) use await with combination of if/else
var allNames = element.all(by.css('p.group-name-text'));
var length = await allNames.count();
var matchedIndex = -1;
for(var i=0;i<length;i++) {
var name = await allNames.get(i).getText();
if (name === 'Big Boss' || name.includes('Big Boss')) {
matchedIndex = i;
console.log('matchedIndex = ' + matchedIndex);
break;
}
}
var bigBoss = allNames.get(matchedIndex);
We can implement option 3 without using await, but the code will be not easy readable and more complex than current.
FYI, If you want to use await/async, you need to disable protractor promise management (know as control flow). You can't use both in your code at same time.
I'm trying to create a function that I can use to outdent (versus indent) a specific amount.
Here is what I have so far. This removes all tabs at the beginning of the lines. I think I need to create a dynamic pattern or use a function but I'm stuck:
var outdentPattern:RegExp = /([\t ]*)(.+)$/gm;
function outdent(input:String, outdentAmount:String = "\t"):String {
var outdentedText:String = input.replace(outdentPattern, outdentAmount + "$2");
return outdentedText;
}
Here is test data:
<s:BorderContainer>
<html:htmlOverride><![CDATA[
<script>
var test:Boolean = true;
test = "string";
</script>]]>
</html:htmlOverride>
</s:BorderContainer>
The test would be remove one tab, remove two tabs, etc.
Expected results at one tab would be:
<s:BorderContainer>
<html:htmlOverride><![CDATA[
<script>
var test:Boolean = true;
test = "string";
</script>]]>
</html:htmlOverride>
</s:BorderContainer>
And two tabs:
<s:BorderContainer>
<html:htmlOverride><![CDATA[
<script>
var test:Boolean = true;
test = "string";
</script>]]>
</html:htmlOverride>
</s:BorderContainer>
And three tabs with the inner tabs (whitespace) collapsing down:
<s:BorderContainer x="110" height="160" width="240" y="52">
<html:htmlOverride><![CDATA[
<script>
var test:Boolean = true;
</script>
]]></html:htmlOverride>
</s:BorderContainer>
Interesting note:
The editor on SO is outdenting when you click code button when the code is already indented.
You could either construct a RegExp object from a template, or you could use the regular expression several times:
var temp:String = '^[\t ]{0,';
function outdent(input:String, amount:Number = 1):String {
return input.replace(new RegExp(temp + amount.toString() + '}', 'gm'), '');
}
Or:
var pattern:RegExp = /^[\t ]/gm;
function outdent(input:String, amount:Number = 1):String {
for (var i:Number = 0; i < amount; i++)
input = input.replace(pattern, '');
return input;
}
Consider the following snippet:
<Offering id=1 blah blah templateid=abc something=blah
gretre
rtert
ret
tr
/Offering>
<Offering id=2 blah blah templateid=def something=blah>
gretre
rtert
ret
tr
</Offering>
<Offering id=3 blah blah templateid=ghi something=blah>
gretre
rtert
ret
tr
</Offering>
Given that all I know is the template id, I need to return the whole Offering node that contains it. i.e. for templateid=def, I need to return:
<Offering id=2 blah blah templateid=def something=blah>
gretre
rtert
ret
tr
</Offering>
I've tried all sorts but the closest I can get is something along the lines of (?s)<Offering.+?templateid=def.+?</Offering> which returns from the first offering until the end of the offering containing my template id. I understand why but nothing I've tried can fix it. I'm guessing lookarounds but I just can't get it right.
How can I return the whole offering node?
You could modify your regex using negation and I would probably use a word boundary as well.
<Offering[^>]*\btemplateid=def[^>]*>[^<]*</Offering>
If you have other tags inside of this tag, you could do ...
(?s)<Offering[^>]*\btemplateid=def.+?</Offering>
This should work but please notice that I escaped the / character, and you may not need to do that depending on what language you're using:
(<Offering[^>]* templateid=ghi [^>]*>[^<]*<\/Offering>)
As you say you "need to return the whole Offering node", the arguably simpler, safer and more readable way would be a DOM parser. I've included examples of how you might do this in JavaScript and PHP below.
PHP
$doc = new DOMDocument();
#$doc->loadHTML($testStr); //Only needed if you're loading HTML like in the example which has repeated attributes and other things that could cause errors
$body = $doc->getElementsByTagName('body')->item(0);
$templateID = 'def';
$myNode = null;
foreach($body->childNodes as $node)
{
if($node->nodeName=='offering')
{
if($node->attributes->getNamedItem('templateid')->nodeValue == $templateID)
{
$myNode = $node;
}
}
}
//$id = $myNode->attributes->getNamedItem('id')->nodeValue;
//$html = $doc->saveHTML($myNode)
JavaScript
var testStr = document.getElementById('str_container').innerHTML;
var parser = new DOMParser();
var doc = parser.parseFromString(testStr,'text/html');
var templateID = 'def';
var myEl = null;
for(var i=0,c=doc.body.children.length;i<c;i++)
{
if(doc.body.children[i].getAttribute('templateid')===templateID)
{
myEl = doc.body.children[i];
}
}
//var id = myEl.id;
//var html = myEl.outerHTML;
console.log(myEl || 'not found');
JavaScript >= IE8
var testStr = document.getElementById('str_container').innerHTML;
var parser = new DOMParser();
var doc = parser.parseFromString(testStr,'text/html');
var templateID = 'def';
var myEl = doc.body.querySelector('offering[templateid='+templateID+']');
//var id = myEl.id;
//var html = myEl.outerHTML;
console.log(myEl || 'not found');
