I have a Google Sheet with a list of URLs for files - roughly 900 entries, maybe 95% PDFs with a few .docs and .docxs in there as well.
I would like to upload every file to a Google Drive folder - ideally a shared folder within my employer's workspace - retaining the filename, which I also have in the sheet.
I have found some near-answers on here, but they use deprecated Google Scripts methods.
For example:
var urlOfThePdf = 'http://www.fostexinternational.com/docs/tech_support/pdfs/280_owners_manual.pdf';// an example of online pdf file
var folderName = 'GAS';// an example of folder name
function saveInDriveFolder(){
var folder = DocsList.getFolder(folderName);// get the folde
var file = UrlFetchApp.fetch(urlOfThePdf); // get the file content as blob
folder.createFile(file);//create the file directly in the folder
}
fails at getFileFromURL.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
This piece of code will save the the pdf into the desired folder:
var urlOfThePdf = '';// an example of online pdf file
var folderName = '';// an example of folder name
function saveInDriveFolder(){
var folders = DriveApp.getFoldersByName(folderName);
var file = UrlFetchApp.fetch(urlOfThePdf);
while (folders.hasNext()) {
var folder = folders.next();
folder.createFile(file);
}
}
It uses the DriveApp.getFoldersByName() method to fetch all folders with that name, UrlFetchApp.fetch() to fetch the pdf and folder.createFile() to save the pdf in the folder.
Note that DriveApp.getFoldersByName() fetches a folder iterator (all the folders in your Drive with that name). In this code, I am iterating through all the folders with that name and saving the pdf in all of them.
I would recommend using Drive.getFolderById() and supplying the id of your desired folder (can be extracted from the url). Using this, you will only save the pdf in one folder and you will not have to iterate though the folders in the code (the whole while loop can be replace by: folder.createFile(file);).
I have a script that merger some google docs, but it create the file in the root dir, i want the script to add it into a existing folder.
Code
Sorry im new to this..How do i do this?
Thanks
I believe you want to achieve this using Apps Script.
You could use Apps script's DriveApp.getFolderById() method to get the required folder. Also DocumentApp.create() method to create a document.
Please find the working example to create a file in specific Drive folder:
function createDoc()
{
var targetFolder = DriveApp.getFolderById(folderID);
var newDoc = DocumentApp.create('My file1');
var file = DriveApp.getFileById(newDoc.getId());
targetFolder.addFile(file);
}
Tried and tested the code.
If you want to create a Spreadsheet file, you just use SpreadsheetApp instead. Hope that helps!
Okay, so I have searched for dll files that will allow me to unrar files and I was able to find quite a few such as unrar.dll, chilkat, sharpcompress and some more but I wanted to use the one provided by Rar themselves.
So I referenced the DLL file in my project and imported it. I was using unrar.dll.
But I wasn't able to find any up to date code to allow me to test and try things out. All the examples I found were either not up to date or not for Vb.net.
I also tried the official example, which came in the installation but that didn't work even after I fixed it and when I tried to use the code I always got an error for
object reference not set to an instance of an object
I just want to unrar a rar file from a specific location to the root directory of my program so if my program was on the desktop I want it to unrar a file in My documents and extract the files to my desktop.
If you just want to unrar files, I Was able to do that with SharpCompress
First I created a new VB.Net App and added a reference to SharpCompress.dll before using this code to extract all the files from a Rar file.
'Imports
Imports SharpCompress.Archives
Imports SharpCompress.Common
'Unrar code
Dim archive As IArchive = ArchiveFactory.Open("C:\file.rar")
For Each entry In archive.Entries
If Not entry.IsDirectory Then
Console.WriteLine(entry.Key)
entry.WriteToDirectory("C:\unrar", New ExtractionOptions With
{.ExtractFullPath = True, .Overwrite = True})
End If
Next
More code samples
for those who will try in vb.net the extract options are renamed and used as
Dim options As New ExtractionOptions With {
.ExtractFullPath = True,
.Overwrite = True
}
entry.WriteToDirectory(Application.StartupPath, options)
I can't make it path specific because once I get this program to work (this is the last thing I have to do) I'm uploading to my university's ilearn website and it has to run on my professors computer with no modifications. I've tried a few different amalgamations of code similar to the following...
File file = new File("DataFile.txt");
Scanner document = new Scanner(new File("DataFile.txt"));
Or...
java.io.File file = new java.io.File("DataFile.txt");
Scanner document = new Scanner(file);
But nothing seems to work. I've got the necessary stuff imported. I've tried moving DataFile around in a few different folders (the src folder, and other random folders in the project's NetBeansProjects folder) I tried creating a folder in the project and putting the file in that folder and trying to use some kind of
documents/DataFile.txt
bit I found online (I named the folder documents).
I've tried renaming the file, saving it in different ways. I'm all out of ideas.
The file is just a list of numbers that are used in generating random data for this program we got assigned for building a gas station simulator. The program runs great when I just use user input from the console. But I can not get netbeans to find that file for the life of me! Help!?!?!?
Try adding the file to build path ..
public void readTextFile (){
try{
Scanner scFile =new Scanner(new File("filename.txt");
while(scFile.hasNext()){
String line =scFile.nextLine();
Scanner details=new Scanner(line).useDelimiter("symbol");
than you can work from there to store integer values use e.g in an array
litterArr(size)=details.nextInt();
Note: size is a variable counting the size/number of info the array has.
}
scFile.close();
{
catch
(FILENOTFOUNDEXCEPION e){
..... *code*
}
Keep file in the same folder as the program,but if it is saved in another folder you need to supply the path indicating the location of the file as part of the file name e.g memAthletics.Lines.LoadFromFile('C:\MyFiles\Athletics.txt');
hope this helps clear the problem up :)
I am using fckeditor for PHP. I have set an absolute path for image uploading. I can upload images, but I am unable to use images that were uploaded. Can anyone help me find my problem?
Here is the code I have changed in my config.php file:
// Path to user files relative to the document root.
$Config['UserFilesPath'] = '/userfiles/' ;
// Fill the following value it you prefer to specify the absolute path for the
// user files directory. Useful if you are using a virtual directory, symbolic
// link or alias. Examples: 'C:\\MySite\\userfiles\\' or '/root/mysite/userfiles/'.
// Attention: The above 'UserFilesPath' must point to the same directory.
$Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] = '/var/www/host/mysite//userfiles/' ;
I just solved this frustrating problem after a full day of searching on Google.
The solution is here. Look for:
Returning Full URLs
You can configure the File Browser to return full URLs to FCKeditor, like "http://www.example.com/userfiles/", instead of absolute URLs, like "/userfiles/". To do that, you must configure the connector, combining the UserFilesPath and UserFilesAbsolutePath settings:
UserFilesPath: include here the full URL for the user files directory. For example, set it to "http://www.example.com/userfiles/".
UserFilesAbsolutePath: include here the server path to reach the above URL directory. For example, in a Windows environment, you could have something like "C:/inetpub/mysite/userfiles/", while on Linux, something like "/usr/me/public_html/mysite/userfiles/".
Just adjust the above settings to your installation values and the File Browser will start returning full URLs to the editor.
For your localhost :
$Config['UserFilesPath'] = 'http://localhost/mywebsite/userfiles/' ;
$Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] = 'C:\\wamp\www\\mywebsite\\userfiles\\' ;
and in order to get your images from there, use :
$path = 'http://localhost/mywebsite/userfiles/image/myimage.jpg';
Now, For your web server:
$Config['UserFilesPath'] = 'http://localhost/mywebsite/userfiles/' ; // if your webserver named localhost as mine
$Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] = '/var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/httpdocs/' ;
and the images path remains the same as above.
Check the permission of the folder
Full Subject: FCK editor 2.x: File/image/video upload in different folders for different applications using a single FCKeditor, by making $Config['UserFilesPath'] fully dynamic in a secure way
It can be done in many ways. I am explaining a process, which I applied as per my php applications' code structure. The same code structure/framework I followed for different applications, with each application as a sub-folder in my server. So, there is a logical need to use one single FCKeditor and configure it in some way, so that it work properly for all the applications. The content part of FCKeditor is ok. It can easily be reused by different applications or projects from a single FCKeditor component. But the problem arises with file upload, like image, video or any other document. To make it applicable for different project, the files must be uploaded in separe folders for different projects. And for that $Config['UserFilesPath'] must by configured with dynamic folder path, means different folder path for each project, but calling the the same FCKeditor component in the same location. I am explaning some differnt process together in a step-by-step way. Those worked for me fine with FCKeditor version 2.5.1 and VersionBuild 17566 and I hope they will work for others as well. If it does not work for other developrs, then may be they need to make some tweaks in those process as per their project code structure and folder write permission as well as per the FCKeditor version.
1) In fckeditor\editor\filemanager\connectors\phpconfig.php file
a) Go after global $Config ; and $Config['Enabled'] = false ;
i) There, if want a session dependent secure method: only for single site setting: i.e. one FCKeditor for each one project domain or subdomain, not one FCKeditor for multiple project then place this code:
if(!isset($_SESSION)){
session_start();
}
if(isset($_SESSION['SESSION_SERVER_RELATIVEPATH']) && $_SESSION['SESSION_SERVER_RELATIVEPATH']!="") {
$relative_path=$_SESSION['SESSION_SERVER_RELATIVEPATH'];
include_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].$relative_path."configurations/configuration.php");
}
N.B.: Here, $_SESSION['SESSION_SERVER_RELATIVEPATH']: relative folder path of the project corresponding to the webroot; should be like "/project/folder/path/" and set this session variable in a common file in your project where the session started. And there should be a configurations/configuration.php as the configuration file in your project. If it's name or path is different you have to place the corresponding path here instead of configurations/configuration.php
ii) If want to use a single FCKeditor component for different projects represented as different sub-folders and with a session dependent secure way (Assuming different session_name for different projects, to differentiate their sessions in a single server). But it will not work if projects represented as sub-domains or different domains, then have to use the session independent way (iii) provided bellow (though it is insecure). Place this code:
if(!isset($_SESSION)){
session_name($_REQUEST['param_project_to_fck']);
session_start();
}
if(isset($_SESSION['SESSION_SERVER_RELATIVEPATH']) && $_SESSION['SESSION_SERVER_RELATIVEPATH']!="") {
$relative_path=$_SESSION['SESSION_SERVER_RELATIVEPATH'];
include_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].$relative_path."configurations/configuration.php");
}
Please read N.B. at the end of previous point, i.e. point (i)
iii) If want to use a single FCKeditor component for different projects represented either different sub-folders as well as sub-domains or domains (though it is not fully secure). Place this code:
if(isset($_REQUEST['param_project_to_fck']) && $_REQUEST['param_project_to_fck']!=""){ //base64 encoded relative folder path of the project corresponding to the webroot; should be like "/project/folder/path/" before encoding
$relative_path=base64_decode($_REQUEST['param_project_to_fck']);
include_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].$relative_path."configurations/configuration.php");
}
Please read N.B. at the end of point (i)
b)Now after that for any case you selected, please find this code:
// Path to user files relative to the document root.
$Config['UserFilesPath'] = '/userfiles/' ;
and replace the following code:
if(isset($SERVER_RELATIVEPATH) && $SERVER_RELATIVEPATH==$relative_path) { //to make it relatively secure so that hackers can not create any upload folder automatcally in the server, using a direct link and can not upload files there
$Config['Enabled'] = true ;
$file_upload_relative_path=$SERVER_RELATIVEPATH;
}else{
$Config['Enabled'] = false ;
exit();
}
// Path to user files relative to the document root.
//$Config['UserFilesPath'] = '/userfiles/' ;
//$Config['UserFilesPath'] = $file_upload_relative_path.'userfiles/' ;
$Config['UserFilesPath'] = '/userfiles'.$file_upload_relative_path;
Here $SERVER_RELATIVEPATH is the relative path and it must be set in your project's configuration file included previously.
Here you can set the $Config['UserFilesPath'] with any other dynamic folder path using $file_upload_relative_path variable.In my bluehost linux server, as their was a folder user permission conflict between the project root folder (0755 permission) and the userfiles folder under it and subfolders under userfiles (should be 0777 as per FCKeditor coding), so it does not allow uploading files in those folders. So, I created a folder userfiles at the server webroot (beyond the project root folder), and set the permission to 0777 to it, use the code for the $config setting as :
$Config['UserFilesPath'] = '/userfiles'.$file_upload_relative_path;
But, if you have no problem with write permission in the project's subfolders in your case, then you can use the previous line (commented out in the previous code segment):
$Config['UserFilesPath'] = $file_upload_relative_path.'userfiles/' ;
Mind it, you mast comment out the existing $Config['UserFilesPath'] = '/userfiles/' ; in this file by either replacing or simply commenting out if it exist in other place of the file.
2) If you choose 1) (a) (ii) or (iii) method then open
(a) fckeditor\editor\filemanager\browser\default\browser.html file.
Search for this line: var sConnUrl = GetUrlParam( 'Connector' ) ;
Put these commands after that line:
var param_project_to_fck = GetUrlParam( 'param_project_to_fck' ) ;
Now, Search for this line: sUrl += '&CurrentFolder=' + encodeURIComponent( this.CurrentFolder ) ;
Put this command after that line:
sUrl += '¶m_project_to_fck=' + param_project_to_fck ;
(b) Now, open ckeditor\editor\filemanager\browser\default\frmupload.html file.
Search for this line (it should be in the SetCurrentFolder() function):
sUrl += '&CurrentFolder=' + encodeURIComponent( folderPath ) ;
Put this command after that line:
sUrl += '¶m_project_to_fck='+window.parent.param_project_to_fck;
3) Now where you want to show the FCKeditor in your project, you have to put those lines first in the corresponding php file/page:
include_once(Absolute/Folder/path/for/FCKeditor/."fckeditor/fckeditor.php") ;
$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor(Field_name_for_editor_content_area) ;
$oFCKeditor->BasePath = http_full_path_for_FCKeditor_location.'fckeditor/' ;
$oFCKeditor->Height = 400;
$oFCKeditor->Width = 600;
$oFCKeditor->Value =Your_desired_content_to_show_in_editor;
$oFCKeditor->Create() ;
a) Now, if you choose 1) (a) (ii) or (iii) method then place the following code segment before that line: $oFCKeditor->Create() ;
$oFCKeditor->Config["LinkBrowserURL"] = ($oFCKeditor->BasePath)."editor/filemanager/browser/default/browser.html?Connector=../../connectors/php/connector.php¶m_project_to_fck=".base64_encode($SERVER_RELATIVEPATH);
$oFCKeditor->Config["ImageBrowserURL"] = ($oFCKeditor->BasePath)."editor/filemanager/browser/default/browser.html?Type=Image&Connector=../../connectors/php/connector.php¶m_project_to_fck=".base64_encode($SERVER_RELATIVEPATH);
$oFCKeditor->Config["FlashBrowserURL"] = ($oFCKeditor->BasePath)."editor/filemanager/browser/default/browser.html?Type=Flash&Connector=../../connectors/php/connector.php¶m_project_to_fck=".base64_encode($SERVER_RELATIVEPATH);
b) if you chose 1) (a) (ii) method, then in the above code code segment, just replace all the texts: base64_encode($SERVER_RELATIVEPATH) with this one: base64_encode(session_name())
And you are done.
UserFilesPath: include here the full URL for the user files directory. For example, set it to "http://www.example.com/userfiles/".
