Resolve 'Parsing Error: Please check your selector. (line XX)' Javascript/AWQL

First off, let me say that I am not a developer, nor do I really code beyond basic HTML. So I appreciate your patience. :)
I'm working with a script that is for AdWords, but I believe it's more or less written in Javascript. (I've included the script below.)
Basically, I'm receiving the error message 'Parsing Error: Please check your selector. (line XX)' when I preview the script.
I've searched all around for hours and have yet to find a solution.
I think it may be that a query being returned contains either a single or double quote, and may be messing up the code? Though I can't actually prove that.
Also, yes, I was sure to update lines 17-21 with the correct details.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

The area between SELECT and FROM is the selector. You're not selecting any fields with that query. That's happening because the headerNames array is empty. Verify the value of REPORT_SHEET_NAME

I need my code to get the values before the commas but it only grabs one of them - Javascript

I am fairly new to the Javascript language.
I am trying to make a clicker game (not so hard). The game is working but I am trying to make a save method for the game.
Instead of cookies I decided to have the game make its own code where the user can copy and paste it the next time they get on the game.
So the save method works but when I try to have the game load the code it doesn't quite do it right.
Instead of grabbing the values before the commas it grabs the letters of the word I use as a checker.
Is there a way I can fix this?
Here's my code:
var shovel = 0;
var miner = 0;
var loaders = 0;
var drill = 0;
var tnt = 0;
var minecart = 0;
var bulldozer = 0;
var trucks = 0;
var manager = 0;
var cost1 = 10;
var cost2 = 200;
var cost3 = 350;
var cost4 = 500;
var cost5 = 600;
var cost6 = 800;
var cost7 = 2500;
var cost8 = 6000;
var cost9 = 100000;
var cash = 0;
var cashRate = 1000;
//-- SAVE GAME --
function save() {
var save = "";
var data = cash + "," + cashRate + "," + shovel + "," + miner + "," + loaders + "," + drill + "," + tnt + "," + minecart + "," + bulldozer + "," + trucks + "," + manager + "," + cost1 + "," + cost2 + "," + cost3 + "," + cost4 + "," + cost5 + "," + cost6 + "," + cost7 + "," + cost8 + "," + cost9;
save += "CoalMinerGame=" + data;
var finalSave = encode(save);//Encoding/Decoding is done using the Base64 Code
prompt("Keep this somewhere you'll remember!", finalSave);
}
function load() {
var code = prompt("Paste the save code below!", "");
if (code != "") {
var load = decode(code);
if (load.includes("CoalMinerGame=")) {
load.split("CoalMinerGame=");
//load[0] = blank
cash = load[1];
cashRate = load[2];
shovel = load[3];
miner = load[4];
loaders = load[5];
drill = load[6];
tnt = load[7];
minecart = load[8];
bulldozer = load[9];
trucks = load[10];
manager = load[11];
cost1 = load[12];
cost2 = load[13];
cost3 = load[14];
cost4 = load[15];
cost5 = load[16];
cost6 = load[17];
cost7 = load[18];
cost8 = load[19];
cost9 = load[20];
updateWorkers();
alert("Save Successfully Loaded!");
} else {
alert("Not a valid save code!");
}
} else {
alert("You must enter a save code to get your game back!");
}
}
Save
Load

I see two mistakes :
The load.split() function does not modify load but returns an array instead, an array that you should store in another variable.
You should also split once again the resulting string on commas to separate your different values.
Hope it helps!

Oh man, this code is giving me a pain :).
What about use some native functions for whole objects so you dont have to manually serialize it and deserialize it?
This code
const myObject = {
some: 'fields',
even: {
nested: 'fields',
},
};
const stringified = JSON.stringify(myObject);
console.log(stringified);
const unstringified = JSON.parse(stringified);
console.log(unstringified);
Is having this output
{"some":"fields","even":{"nested":"fields"}}
{ some: 'fields', even: { nested: 'fields' } }
You can also use base64 steps to code and decode
The JSON.stringify take JS object and create pure string which contains JSON inside.
Then when you want to take JSON and create object from it, you can just JSON.Parse, which expects string.

I echo the sentiment to use JSON. My example below might require some refactoring in the game code but would be cleaner. To access the variable cash you would just use gameData.cash where you currently are using the cash var.
var gameData = {
cash: 0,
cashRate:0,
shovel:0,
miner:0,
loaders:0,
drill:0,
tnt:0,
minecart:0,
bulldozer:0,
trucks:0,
manager:0,
cost1:10,
cost2:200,
cost3:350,
cost4:500,
cost5:600,
cost6:800,
cost7:2500,
cost8:6000,
cost9:100000
}
function save(){
var dataToSave = CoalMinerGame: {
cash: cash,
cashRate:cashRate,
shovel:shovel,
miner:miner,
loaders:loaders,
drill:drill,
tnt:tnt,
minecart:minecart,
bulldozer:bulldozer,
trucks:trucks,
manager:manager,
cost1:cost1,
cost2:cost2,
cost3:cost3,
cost4:cost4,
cost5:cost5,
cost6:cost6,
cost7:cost7,
cost8:cost8,
cost9:cost9
}
var finalSave = JSON.Stringify(dataToSave)
finalSave = encode(finalSave)
prompt("Keep this somwhere you'll remember!", finalSave)
}
function load(){
var code = prompt("Paste the save code below!", "")
var load = decode(code)
if (code != ""){
gameData = load;
updateWorkers();
alert("Save Successfully loaded!")
} else {
alert("You must enter a save code to get your game back!")
}
}

Javascript - passing returned variable to another function

I am trying to pass my results value from to projectYears() function to projectInvestment() function that will then write to the div tag. I am getting the error "result is not defined error". To me this makes sense. All the code is working as intended. Can someone please let me know how to achieve this.
function projectInvestment(nameId, investmentId, interestId, yearsId, amountId) {
var inputName = document.getElementById(nameId).value;
var inputInvestment = parseFloat(document.getElementById(investmentId).value);
var inputInterest = parseFloat(document.getElementById(interestId).value);
var inputYears = parseInt(document.getElementById(yearsId).value);
var inputAmount = parseFloat(document.getElementById(amountId).value);
projectYears(inputInvestment, inputInterest, inputYears);
var outputString = projectYears(result);
document.getElementById("outputDiv").innerHTML = outputString;
}
function projectYears(inInvest, inInterest, inYears) {
var interest = parseFloat(inInterest / 100);
var interestAmt = parseFloat(inInvest * interest);
var predictedInvest = parseFloat(inInvest + interestAmt);
var result = "<br /> Investment Schedule for <b>$" + inInvest.toFixed(2) +
" </b>at <b>" + inInterest + "% </b>annual interest for <b>" + inYears + "</b> years <br /><br />";
result += "<table border='1' align='center'><tr><th>Year</th><th>Amount</th>";
//for loop to loop through the years
for (var x = 1; x <= inYears; x++) {
result += "<tr><td>" + x + "</td><td>" + predictedInvest.toFixed(2) + "</td></tr>";
interestAmt = predictedInvest * interest;
predictedInvest = (predictedInvest + interestAmt);
}
result += "</table>";
return result;
//document.getElementById("outputDiv").innerHTML = result;
}

You are passing in a variable called result that isn't defined.
See this line in the projectInvestment function:
var outputString = projectYears(result);
It looks like, based on the function definition for projectYears, you should be passing in some of the variables you create above this line instead.
i.e.
var outputString = projectYears(inputInvestment, inputInterest, inputYears);

var inputAmount = parseFloat(document.getElementById(amountId).value);
var outputString = projectYears(inputInvestment, inputInterest, inputYears);
document.getElementById("outputDiv").innerHTML = outputString;

HTML javascript movie and dinner

I'm receiving NotANumber for my total from movieTotal, as well as im not getting the correct value of adding pricePerTicket + pricePerDinner. Can someone help me figure out what im doing wrong?
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var ticket, earlyBirdTicket, WeekDinner, weekendDinner, numberOfTickets, TotalDue;
var numberOfTickets, pricePerTicket, pricePerDinner, costOfDandT, totalAmountOwed;
var totalDandT, yes, week, movieTotal;

var nightTicket = 10;
var weekDinner = 8;
var weekendDinner = 12;
var yes = ticket;
var week = weekDinner;
var movieTotal = totalDandT * numberOfTickets;
totalDandT = pricePerDinner + pricePerTicket;
numberOfTickets = prompt ("How many tickets?");
pricePerTicket = prompt ("Is this earlybird? yes/no ");
pricePerDinner = prompt ("weekend or weekday? week/weekend ");
pricePerTicket = parseInt(pricePerTicket);
pricePerDinner = parseInt(pricePerDinner);
movieTotal = parseInt (movieTotal);
if (pricePerTicket = yes)
{
pricePerTicket = ticket;
}
else
{
pricePerTicket = nightTicket;
}
if (pricePerDinner = week)
{
pricePerDinner = weekDinner;
}
else
{
pricePerDinner = weekendDinner;
}
document.write ("<br>Number of tickets sold : " + numberOfTickets);
document.write ("<br>Cost per ticket tonight : $" + pricePerTicket);
document.write ("<br>Cost per dinner tonight : $" + pricePerDinner);
document.write ("<br>Cost of dinner and ticket : $" + pricePerTicket + pricePerDinner);
document.write ("<br> Your total today is $" + movieTotal);

You have not initialized the variables. You should do it before using them.
Uninitialized variables are equals to undefined so yes.undefined plus undefined is not a number.

Variable inside Array() is undefined

I'm having a problem with an undefined variable error. This is my code:
window.sys.Bash = {};
window.sys.Bash.version = "";
window.sys.Bash.version.major = 0;
window.sys.Bash.version.minor = 1;
window.sys.Bash.version.build = 1;
window.sys.Bash.version.release = "beta";
window.sys.Bash.printing = false;
window.sys.Bash.queue = Array();
window.sys.Bash.span = bash;
window.sys.Bash.span.input = input;
window.sys.Bash.version = ""
+ window.sys.Bash.version.major + "."
+ window.sys.Bash.version.minor + "."
+ Array(2-window.sys.Bash.version.build.toString().length+1).join('0')
+ window.sys.Bash.version.build + "-"
+ window.sys.Bash.version.release + " "
+ "(x86_64-" + window.sys.platform + ")";
delete bash; delete input;
My Web console says, that window.sys.Bash.version.build is undefined on this line:
+ Array(2-window.sys.Bash.version.build.toString().length+1).join('0')
I copied the code from here, so I don't know much about it, but it should work, huh?

You defined version as primitive, rather than object. Try this:
window.sys.Bash.version = {};
window.sys.Bash.version.major = 0;
window.sys.Bash.version.minor = 1;
window.sys.Bash.version.build = 1;
Adding properties to primitive is not an error, but the properties will be added to a temporary object that is then lost. Basically, this happened:
window.sys.Bash.version = "";
new String(window.sys.Bash.version).major = 0;
new String(window.sys.Bash.version).minor = 1;
new String(window.sys.Bash.version).build = 1;
This is described here:
Let O be ToObject(base).
Which is effectively the same as Object(str), which is effectively the same as new String(str)
