My code below for generate PDF attachment is working fine but they send all data in the spreadsheet.
Anyone can help to send only the specify spreadsheet like my code only sheet"Email" in stead of All sheets ?
Thank you
function SendEmail() {
try {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var url = "https://docs.google.com/feeds/download/spreadsheets/Export?key=" + ss.getId() + "&exportFormat=pdf";
var params = {
method : "get",
headers : {"Authorization": "Bearer " + ScriptApp.getOAuthToken()},
muteHttpExceptions: true
};
var blob = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, params).getBlob();
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('Email')
var subjectrange = sheet.getRange("A20");
var subjectdata = subjectrange.getValues();
var emailranges=sheet.getRange('E14');
var emaildata=emailranges.getValue();
var username=ss.getSheetId();
blob.setName(ss.getName()+ ".pdf");
var confirm = Browser.msgBox('Send Email Confirmation','Are you sure you want to send this mail for booking request ?', Browser.Buttons.OK_CANCEL);
if(confirm=='ok') {
MailApp.sendEmail(emaildata, subjectdata, " Attachment file is: \n" +subjectdata+ "- \n Kindly reply your booking to this email . \n Thank you - ADS Co., Ltd", {attachments: [blob]}) };} catch (f) {Logger.log(f.toString());
}
}

Answer
If you don't want to export some sheets you can hide them. Furthermore, you can export a Spreadsheet with the method getBlob. Once you have made the export, you can undo the hide.
Small code assuming two sheets
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName('Unwanted Sheet')
sheet.hideSheet()
var blob = ss.getBlob()
blob.setName(ss.getName())
sheet.showSheet()
Full code working with many sheets
function exportSheet(sheetName) {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheets = ss.getSheets();
for (var i = 0; i < sheets.length; i++) {
if (sheets[i].getSheetName() !== sheetName) {
sheets[i].hideSheet()
}
}
var blob = ss.getBlob()
blob.setName(ss.getName())
for (var i = 0; i < sheets.length; i++) {
sheets[i].showSheet()
}
}
Some tips
You don't have to add .pdf to the blob name, it already understand that it is a pdf file and the extension will appear automatically
You can use GmailApp service instead of MailApp since it is more versatile and has more functionalities. The main reason to use MailApp is using that it doesn’t require the developer to be a Gmail user.

I need to Set Value the get URL in a cell

I am now need to convert the Google Sheet page to PDF, email to user and save the PDF format straightway to Google Drive.
And i need the Google Drive link after save it to Google Drive.
The steps from convert the Google Sheet to PDF, and i've done but I've stuck at getting the URL to be paste on the specific cells.
i know to get the URL using this code Logger.log(fileUrl)
But how to paste on cell the command ?
var changedFlag = false;
var TEMPLATESHEET='Boom-Report';
function emailSpreadsheetAsPDF() {
//Utilities.sleep(300000); //to pause for 60 seconds . Make sure photo completely upload to google sheet

var range = sheet2.getRange(j+1, 128);
range.setValue(doclink);
};
};
}
If cell B3 value in First Source is find in Google Drive, paste the URL in Column DX where the AI is same with First Source.
I believe your goal is as follows.
You want to search the file of filename subject retrieved from the cell "B3" of "Source Email-Boom" sheet from your Google Drive, and when the value of subject is found from the column "AI" of "BL-Inspection Report" sheet, you want to put the URL of the file to the column "AJ".
For my question of For example, you want to put the URL of the just created file?, from Yes of your replying, I understood that you wanted to put the URL of the just created file in this script.
In this case, how about the following modification? I thought that in this case, the file URL of the just created file can be directly retrieved from DriveApp.getFolderById(folderID).createFile(response).setName(nameFile). So, how about the following modification?
From:
DriveApp.getFolderById(folderID).createFile(response).setName(nameFile);
To:
var fileUrl = DriveApp.getFolderById(folderID).createFile(response).setName(nameFile).getUrl();
And also, please modify as follows.
From:
var filename = encodeURI(nameFile);
var files = DriveApp.getFilesByName(nameFile);
while (files.hasNext()) {
var file = files.next();
if (file) {
var fileUrl = file.getUrl();
};
};
////////////////HELP THIS PART////////////////////////////////
for (j = 0; j < lastRow2; j++) {
if (dataValues2[j][34] == subject) {
var doclink = Logger.log(fileUrl);
var range = sheet2.getRange(j + 1, 128);
range.setValue(doclink);
};
};
To:
var range = sheet2.getRange("AI2:AI" + sheet2.getLastRow()).createTextFinder(subject).findNext();
if (range) {
range.offset(0, 1).setValue(fileUrl);
}
In this modification, the cell is searched using TextFinder.

Pentaho - upload file using API

I need to upload a file using an API.
I tried REST CLIENT and didn't find any options.
Tried with HTTP POST and that responded with 415.
Please suggest how to accomplish this
Error 415 is “Unsupported media type”.
You may need to change the media type of the request or check whether that type of file us accepted by the remote server.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes
This solution uses only standard classes of jre 7. Add a step Modified Java Script Value in your transformation. You will have to add two columns in the flow: URL_FORM_POST_MULTIPART_COLUMN and FILE_URL_COLUMN, you can add as many files as you want, you will just have to call outputStreamToRequestBody.write more times.
try
{
//in this step you will need to add two columns from the previous flow -> URL_FORM_POST_MULTIPART_COLUMN, FILE_URL_COLUMN
var serverUrl = new java.net.URL(URL_FORM_POST_MULTIPART_COLUMN);
var boundaryString = "999aaa000zzz09za";
var openBoundary = java.lang.String.format("\n\n--%s\nContent-Disposition: form-data\nContent-Type: text/xml\n\n" , boundaryString);
var closeBoundary = java.lang.String.format("\n\n--%s--\n", boundaryString);
// var netIPSocketAddress = java.net.InetSocketAddress("127.0.0.1", 8888);
// var proxy = java.net.Proxy(java.net.Proxy.Type.HTTP , netIPSocketAddress);
// var urlConnection = serverUrl.openConnection(proxy);
var urlConnection = serverUrl.openConnection();
urlConnection.setDoOutput(true); // Indicate that we want to write to the HTTP request body
urlConnection.setRequestMethod("POST");
//urlConnection.addRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + Authorization);
urlConnection.addRequestProperty("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data; boundary=" + boundaryString);
var outputStreamToRequestBody = urlConnection.getOutputStream();
outputStreamToRequestBody.write(openBoundary.getBytes(java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
outputStreamToRequestBody.write(java.nio.file.Files.readAllBytes(java.nio.file.Paths.get(FILE_URL_COLUMN)));
outputStreamToRequestBody.write(closeBoundary.getBytes(java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
outputStreamToRequestBody.flush();
var httpResponseReader = new java.io.BufferedReader(new java.io.InputStreamReader(urlConnection.getInputStream()));
var lineRead = "";
var finalText = "";
while((lineRead = httpResponseReader.readLine()) != null) {
finalText += lineRead;
}
var status = urlConnection.getResponseCode();
var result = finalText;
var time = new Date();
}
catch(e)
{
Alert(e);
}
I solved this by using the solution from http://www.dietz-solutions.com/2017/06/pentaho-data-integration-multi-part.html
Thanks Ben.
He's written a Java class for Multi-part Form submission. I extendd by adding a header for Authorization...

Get pdf-attachments from Gmail as text

I searched around the web & Stack Overflow but didn't find a solution. What I try to do is the following: I get certain attachments via mail that I would like to have as (Plain) text for further processing. My script looks like this:
function MyFunction() {
var threads = GmailApp.search ('label:templabel');
var messages = GmailApp.getMessagesForThreads(threads);
for (i = 0; i < messages.length; ++i)
{
j = messages[i].length;
var messageBody = messages[i][0].getBody();
var messageSubject = messages [i][0].getSubject();
var attach = messages [i][0].getAttachments();
var attachcontent = attach.getContentAsString();
GmailApp.sendEmail("mail", messageSubject, "", {htmlBody: attachcontent});
}
}
Unfortunately this doesn't work. Does anybody here have an idea how I can do this? Is it even possible?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best, Phil
Edit: Updated for DriveApp, as DocsList deprecated.
I suggest breaking this down into two problems. The first is how to get a pdf attachment from an email, the second is how to convert that pdf to text.
As you've found out, getContentAsString() does not magically change a pdf attachment to plain text or html. We need to do something a little more complicated.
First, we'll get the attachment as a Blob, a utility class used by several Services to exchange data.
var blob = attachments[0].getAs(MimeType.PDF);
So with the second problem separated out, and maintaining the assumption that we're interested in only the first attachment of the first message of each thread labeled templabel, here is how myFunction() looks:
/**
* Get messages labeled 'templabel', and send myself the text contents of
* pdf attachments in new emails.
*/
function myFunction() {
var threads = GmailApp.search('label:templabel');
var threadsMessages = GmailApp.getMessagesForThreads(threads);
for (var thread = 0; thread < threadsMessages.length; ++thread) {
var message = threadsMessages[thread][0];
var messageBody = message.getBody();
var messageSubject = message.getSubject();
var attachments = message.getAttachments();
var blob = attachments[0].getAs(MimeType.PDF);
var filetext = pdfToText( blob, {keepTextfile: false} );
GmailApp.sendEmail(Session.getActiveUser().getEmail(), messageSubject, filetext);
}
}
We're relying on a helper function, pdfToText(), to convert our pdf blob into text, which we'll then send to ourselves as a plain text email. This helper function has a variety of options; by setting keepTextfile: false, we've elected to just have it return the text content of the PDF file to us, and leave no residual files in our Drive.
pdfToText()
This utility is available as a gist. Several examples are provided there.
A previous answer indicated that it was possible to use the Drive API's insert method to perform OCR, but it didn't provide code details. With the introduction of Advanced Google Services, the Drive API is easily accessible from Google Apps Script. You do need to switch on and enable the Drive API from the editor, under Resources > Advanced Google Services.
pdfToText() uses the Drive service to generate a Google Doc from the content of the PDF file. Unfortunately, this contains the "pictures" of each page in the document - not much we can do about that. It then uses the regular DocumentService to extract the document body as plain text.
/**
* See gist: https://gist.github.com/mogsdad/e6795e438615d252584f
*
* Convert pdf file (blob) to a text file on Drive, using built-in OCR.
* By default, the text file will be placed in the root folder, with the same
* name as source pdf (but extension 'txt'). Options:
* keepPdf (boolean, default false) Keep a copy of the original PDF file.
* keepGdoc (boolean, default false) Keep a copy of the OCR Google Doc file.
* keepTextfile (boolean, default true) Keep a copy of the text file.
* path (string, default blank) Folder path to store file(s) in.
* ocrLanguage (ISO 639-1 code) Default 'en'.
* textResult (boolean, default false) If true and keepTextfile true, return
* string of text content. If keepTextfile
* is false, text content is returned without
* regard to this option. Otherwise, return
* id of textfile.
*
* #param {blob} pdfFile Blob containing pdf file
* #param {object} options (Optional) Object specifying handling details
*
* #returns {string} id of text file (default) or text content
*/
function pdfToText ( pdfFile, options ) {
// Ensure Advanced Drive Service is enabled
try {
Drive.Files.list();
}
catch (e) {
throw new Error( "To use pdfToText(), first enable 'Drive API' in Resources > Advanced Google Services." );
}
// Set default options
options = options || {};
options.keepTextfile = options.hasOwnProperty("keepTextfile") ? options.keepTextfile : true;
// Prepare resource object for file creation
var parents = [];
if (options.path) {
parents.push( getDriveFolderFromPath (options.path) );
}
var pdfName = pdfFile.getName();
var resource = {
title: pdfName,
mimeType: pdfFile.getContentType(),
parents: parents
};
// Save PDF to Drive, if requested
if (options.keepPdf) {
var file = Drive.Files.insert(resource, pdfFile);
}
// Save PDF as GDOC
resource.title = pdfName.replace(/pdf$/, 'gdoc');
var insertOpts = {
ocr: true,
ocrLanguage: options.ocrLanguage || 'en'
}
var gdocFile = Drive.Files.insert(resource, pdfFile, insertOpts);
// Get text from GDOC
var gdocDoc = DocumentApp.openById(gdocFile.id);
var text = gdocDoc.getBody().getText();
// We're done using the Gdoc. Unless requested to keepGdoc, delete it.
if (!options.keepGdoc) {
Drive.Files.remove(gdocFile.id);
}
// Save text file, if requested
if (options.keepTextfile) {
resource.title = pdfName.replace(/pdf$/, 'txt');
resource.mimeType = MimeType.PLAIN_TEXT;
var textBlob = Utilities.newBlob(text, MimeType.PLAIN_TEXT, resource.title);
var textFile = Drive.Files.insert(resource, textBlob);
}
// Return result of conversion
if (!options.keepTextfile || options.textResult) {
return text;
}
else {
return textFile.id
}
}
The conversion to DriveApp is helped with this utility from Bruce McPherson:
// From: http://ramblings.mcpher.com/Home/excelquirks/gooscript/driveapppathfolder
function getDriveFolderFromPath (path) {
return (path || "/").split("/").reduce ( function(prev,current) {
if (prev && current) {
var fldrs = prev.getFoldersByName(current);
return fldrs.hasNext() ? fldrs.next() : null;
}
else {
return current ? null : prev;
}
},DriveApp.getRootFolder());
}

Google UI Apps Script: Blank PDF when converting spreadsheet to PDF

I have a piece of code I am testing, in an attempt to learn how to convert a spreadsheet into a pdf using Google UI Apps Script. The code creates and writes to the spreadsheet but the pdf attachment is blank. Would appreciate any help to get this to work. Thanks.
var newSpreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.create("My Test Sheet");
var columnNames = ["First Name", "Last Name", "Department"];
newSpreadsheet.getSheetByName('Sheet1').activate();
var headersRange = newSpreadsheet.getActiveSheet().getRange(1, 1, 1, columnNames.length);
headersRange.setValues([columnNames]);
var pdf = DocsList.getFileById(newSpreadsheet.getId()).getAs('application/pdf').getBytes();
var attach = {fileName:'My Test PDF.pdf',content:pdf, mimeType:'application/pdf'};
// Send email
MailApp.sendEmail("myemail#email.com", "subject", "message", {attachments:[attach]});
You should not use DocList anymore. Use DriveApp instead. Below a solution with little modifications of your code:
function toPdf(id){
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
// var ssDoc = DriveApp.getFileById(SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getId());
var ssDoc = DriveApp.getFileById(id);
var pdf = DriveApp.createFile(ssDoc.getAs(MimeType.PDF));
return pdf.getBlob().getBytes();
}
function user2943227(){
var newSpreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.create("My Test Sheet");
var columnNames = ["First Name", "Last Name", "Department"];
// newSpreadsheet.getSheetByName('Sheet1').activate();
var headersRange = newSpreadsheet.getActiveSheet().getRange(1, 1, 1, columnNames.length);
headersRange.setValues([columnNames]);
// var pdf = DocsList.getFileById(newSpreadsheet.getId()).getAs('application/pdf').getBytes();
var pdf = toPdf(newSpreadsheet.getId());
var attach = {fileName:'My Test PDF.pdf',content:pdf, mimeType:'application/pdf'};
// Send email
MailApp.sendEmail("myemail#email.com", "subject", "message", {attachments:[attach]});
}

Eventbrite API date range parameter for organizer_list_events

I need a way to search via the eventbrite api past events, by organizer, that are private, but I also need to be able to limit the date range. I have not found a viable solution for this search. I assume the organizer_list_events api would be the preferred method, but the request paramaters don't seem to allow for the date range, and I am getting FAR too many returns.
I'm having some similar issues I posted a question to get a response about parsing the timezone, here's the code I'm using to get the dates though and exclude any events before today (unfortunately like you said I'm still getting everything sent to me and paring things out client side)
Note this is an AngularJS control but the code is just using the EventBrite javascript API.
function EventCtrl($http, $scope)
{
$scope.events=[];
$scope.noEventsDisplay = "Loading events...";
Eventbrite({'app_key': "EVC36F6EQZZ4M5DL6S"}, function(eb){
// define a few parameters to pass to the API
// Options are listed here: http://developer.eventbrite.com/doc/organizers/organizer_list_events/
//3877641809
var options = {
'id' : "3588304527",
};
// provide a callback to display the response data:
eb.organizer_list_events( options, function( response ){
validEvents = [];
var now = new Date().getTime();
for(var i = 0; i<response.events.length; i++)
{
var sd = response.events[i].event.start_date;
var ed = response.events[i].event.end_date;
var parsedSD = sd.split(/[:-\s]/);
var parsedED = ed.split(/[:-\s]/);
var startDate = new Date(parsedSD[0], parsedSD[1]-1, parsedSD[2], parsedSD[3], parsedSD[4], parsedSD[5]);
var endDate = new Date(parsedED[0], parsedED[1]-1, parsedED[2], parsedED[3], parsedED[4], parsedED[5]);
if(endDate.getTime()<now)
continue;
response.events[i].event.formattedDate = date.toDateString();
validEvents.push(response.events[i])
}
if(validEvents.length == 0)
{
$scope.$apply(function(scope){scope.noEventsDisplay = "No upcoming events to display, please check back soon.";});
}
else
{
$scope.$apply(function(scope){scope.noEventsDisplay = "";});
}
$scope.$apply(function(scope){scope.events = validEvents;});
//$('.event_list').html(eb.utils.eventList( response, eb.utils.eventListRow ));
});
});
}
