When a value is searched from the 1-dimensional array and a 2-dimensional array, after V8 runtime could be used, I use JSON object, Set object, and Map Object. But, I had never measured the process cost of this situation. In this post, I would like to introduce the process cost for searching a value using a JSON object, Set object, and Map object converted from the 1-dimensional array and 2-dimensional array.

This is a sample script for importing Microsoft Excel (XLSX) data to Google Spreadsheet using a custom function with Google Apps Script.

Usage

1. Install SheetJS library.

Please copy the script of the SheetJS library from https://cdn.sheetjs.com/xlsx-latest/package/dist/xlsx.full.min.js, and paste the script to the script editor of Google Spreadsheet, and save the script.

In this case, I would like to recommend the following flow.

In the current stage, unfortunately, the built-in methods of Google Apps Script cannot directly retrieve the values from the XLSX data. From this situation, I have created DocsServiceApp. When this Google Apps Script library is used, the values are directly retrieved from XLSX data by parsing XML data of XLSX data.

Here, as another approach, I would like to introduce a sample script for directly retrieving the values from XLSX data using SheetJS with Google Apps Script. In the current stage, Google Apps Script can run with V8 runtime. By this, it seems that SheetJS can be used.

In Google Spreadsheet, when a single quote is added to the top letter of the cell value, the cell is used as the text value. About detecting this, I have already reported in this post in my blog. In this post, I would like to introduce a sample script for removing the single quote at the top character of the cell value.

This is a sample script for splitting the binary data with search data using Google Apps Script.

Sample script

/**
 * Split byteArray by a search data.
 * @param {Array} baseData Input byteArray of base data.
 * @param {Array} searchData Input byteArray of search data using split.
 * @return {Array} An array including byteArray.
 */
function splitByteArrayBySearchData_(baseData, searchData) {
  if (!Array.isArray(baseData) || !Array.isArray(searchData)) {
    throw new Error("Please give byte array.");
  }
  const search = searchData.join("");
  const bLen = searchData.length;
  const res = [];
  let idx = 0;
  do {
    idx = baseData.findIndex(
      (_, i, a) => [...Array(bLen)].map((_, j) => a[j + i]).join("") == search
    );
    if (idx != -1) {
      res.push(baseData.splice(0, idx));
      baseData.splice(0, bLen);
    } else {
      res.push(baseData.splice(0));
    }
  } while (idx != -1);
  return res;
}

// Please run this function.
function main() {
  const sampleString = "abc123def123ghi123jkl";
  const splitValue = "123";

  const res1 = splitByteArrayBySearchData(
    ...[sampleString, splitValue].map((e) => Utilities.newBlob(e).getBytes())
  );
  const res2 = res1.map((e) => Utilities.newBlob(e).getDataAsString());

  console.log(res1); // [[97,98,99],[100,101,102],[103,104,105],[106,107,108]]
  console.log(res2); // ["abc","def","ghi","jkl"]
}

• When main() is run, the sample input values of "abc123def123ghi123jkl" is split by "123". And, [[97,98,99],[100,101,102],[103,104,105],[106,107,108]] is obtained. In this case, when [[97,98,99],[100,101,102],[103,104,105],[106,107,108]] is converted to the string for confirming the result value, it becomes ["abc","def","ghi","jkl"].

This is a sample script for exporting Google Docs files (Spreadsheets, Documents, and so on) in PDF format with batch requests using Google Apps Script.

I have published a report “Efficient File Management using Batch Requests with Google Apps Script”. In this report, I mentioned how to use the batch requests using Google Apps Script.

In this post, I would like to introduce the method for retrieving binary data using this method.

BatchRequest was updated to v1.2.1.

• v1.2.1 (March 8, 2023)

  1. An option of exportDataAsBlob was added to the request object to the method of EDo(). Ref When this option is used, the response values from the batch requests are returned as Blob. By this, for example, when you export Google Spreadsheet as PDF data using the batch requests, the PDF data can be retrieved as Blob.

Sample script using exportDataAsBlob

In this sample, the Spreadsheet and Document files are exported as PDF format using the batch requests. The exported PDF data is created as a PDF file to the root folder. When I answered this thread on Stackoverflow, when this option is added to this library, I thought that it might be useful for users.

This is a sample script for achieving the resumable download of a file from Google Drive using Dive API with Python.

There might be a case in that you want to achieve the resumable download of a file from Google Drive using Dive API with Python. For example, when a large file is downloaded, the downloading might be stopped in the middle of downloading. At that time, you might want to resume the download. In this post, I would like to introduce the sample script of python.
