This is a sample script for retrieving the files of ‘Shared with Me’ in the specific folder using Google Apps Script.
In the current stage, when you transfer the ownership of your file on your Google Drive to another user and/or copy the file “Shared with me” to the specific folder on your Google Drive, the file becomes the shortcut file. Under this situation, when you want to retrieve the files of “Shared with me” in the specific folder, unfortunately, the following search query cannot be used.

These are sample scripts for achieving the full-text search of Google Apps Script projects using Google Apps Script. I have the case that I want to search a value from Google Apps Script projects using a Google Apps Script. In this post, I would like to introduce the sample scripts for achieving the full-text search of Google Apps Script projects.
1. Full-text search from all Google Apps Script Projects of standalone type in Google Drive
Before you use this script, please enable Drive API at Advanced Google services. In the case of the Google Apps Script projects of the standalone type, the full-text search can be achieved using Drive API as follows.

Introduction
There is a maximum executing time for Google Apps Script (GAS). That is 6 minutes. And, in the case of the custom function and the simple trigger, it is 30 seconds. Ref So users always have to pay attention to reducing the process cost of the scripts. Especially, it is very important to know the process costs for the array processing, because array processing is often used for spreadsheets and Google APIs. I have already reported about the array processing at “Benchmark: Loop for Array Processing using Google Apps Script with V8” and “Search for Array Processing using Google Apps Script”. In this report, the process cost checking a value in a one-dimensional array using Google Apps Script has been investigated.
Following 3 reports have been published at Champion Innovators Content Library.
If these reports will be useful, I’m glad.

This is a sample script for converting the large images to Google Document by OCR using Google Apps Script.
When the image size, the image file size, the resolution of the image, and so on are large, an error like Request Too Large occurs. In this sample script, such the image can be converted to Google Document by reducing them.
Sample script
Please enable Drive API at Advanced Google services.

This is a sample script for detecting cells with the quote prefix in Google Spreadsheet using Google Apps Script.
For example, when a value is put to a cell by adding a single quote ' as the top character, the cell value is used as the string value. This is the current specification. Under this condition, when the cells with the value of the quote prefix are tried to be detected, unfortunately, in the current stage, it seems that there is no method for directly achieving this in the methods of Spreadsheet service (SpreadsheetApp).

This is a report related to the rule of item IDs for questions of Google Forms.
When the questions are created using the method of batchUpdate with Google Forms API, the created questions have the item IDs when the item IDs are not given in the request body. ( https://developers.google.com/forms/api/reference/rest/v1/forms#item ) For example, when you want to create a question and update the created question in one API call, it is required to include the custom item ID in the request body. But, it seems that in the current stage, the information of the item ID has never been published. So, in this report, I would like to consider the rule of item IDs of questions for Google Forms API.

Today, I found a question ( https://stackoverflow.com/q/73540735 ) in Stackoverflow by Max Makhrov. When I saw this question, I thought that this is a good raising question. In this question, it has reported that when the Spreadsheet includes the formulas of the large calculation, when a Google Apps Script is run during the calculation of the formulas is running, the processing time of the script becomes long.
I have also experienced this before. And, in that time, I noticed that there are differences in process costs for the methods of Google Apps Script under this condition.

This is a sample script for updating the same position on Google Document using Google Apps Script.
In this case, the named range is used. About the named range on Google Document, in the current stage, unfortunately, this cannot be used with the UI on Google Document. And, when I saw the official document of named range, I thought that this might be a bit difficult. Ref Ref So, I have created a Google Apps Script for managing the named range on Google Document. Ref In this post, I would like to introduce a sample script for updating the same position on Google Document using this GAS library.
My report has been published at Champion Innovators Content Library. The published report is Taking Advantage of Google Apps Script. If this report will be useful, I’m glad.
