Get files URLs from folders ID [duplicate]

I would like to get the files URL and Name from an array of folders ID, which I'm retrieing with a script.
I would like the result to be placed on the Files tab.
The script I'm using for getting the filesID is the following:
function Folders_URL() {
var ss=SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName("Overview");
var fldr=DriveApp.getFolderById("someID");
var files=fldr.getFolders();
var names=[],f,str; while (files.hasNext()) {
f=files.next();
names.push([f.getId(), f.getName()]);
}
ss.getRange(4,2,names.length, 2).setValues(names);
}
For getting files Names with the URL, I use this code.
It would be very helpful if someone can join both codes or just getting the URLs and File names from the array of foldersID
function getFileNames() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName("someLink");
//Range where the links are set
var links = sheet.getRange("F3:F").getValues();
var filenames = [];
for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
var url = links[i][0];
if (url != "") {
var filename = SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl(links[i][0]).getName();
filenames.push([filename]);
}
}
//Define cell range
var startRow = 3; // print in row 2 since row 1 is the header row
var fileNameColumn = 4; // Column B = column 2
var destinationCell = sheet.getRange(startRow, fileNameColumn, filenames.length, filenames[0].length);
destinationCell.setValues(filenames);
}
Please be aware that I cannot share any sheet since I have sensitive information from my end.
Thanks!
UPDATED ANSWER
New error when running the script:

Get Urls
I tested this code on my data and it works fine. If it's not working on your data then the problem is your data.
function getUrls() {
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
const sh = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet0");
const osh = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet1");
const vs = sh.getRange(4, 1, sh.getLastRow() - 3, sh.getLastColumn()).getValues();
let obj = { pA: [] };
vs.forEach((r, i) => {
let fldr = DriveApp.getFolderById(r[1]);
let files = fldr.getFilesByName(r[2]);
while (files.hasNext()) {
let file = files.next();
let name = file.getName();;
if (!obj.hasOwnProperty(name)) {
obj[name] = [file.getUrl()];
obj.pA.push(name)
} else {
obj[name].push(file.getUrl())
}
}
});
if (obj.pA.length > 0) {
let o = obj.pA.map(p => [p, obj[p].join('\n')]);
osh.clearContents();
if(o.length > 0) {
osh.getRange(1, 1, o.length, o[0].length).setValues(o);
}
}
}

Change cell Data on Spreadsheet

I am trying to take a template spreadsheet, and copy it, then change the data and export as pdf, finally email it.
So far I can do everything except change it on the sheet. It even changes in the logger. Can someone help with this?
Code as follows:
function After_Submit(e, values){
var range = e.range;
var row = range.getRow(); //get the row of newly added form data
var sheet = range.getSheet(); //get the Sheet
var headers = sheet.getRange(1, 1, 1,5).getValues().flat(); //get the header names from A-O
var data = sheet.getRange(row, 1, 1, headers.length).getValues(); //get the values of newly added form data + formulated values
var values = {}; // create an object
for( var i = 0; i < headers.length; i++ ){
values[headers[i]] = data[0][i]; //add elements to values object and use headers as key
}
const pdfFile = Create_PDF(values);
sendEmail(e.namedValues['Your Email'][0],pdfFile);
}
function sendEmail(email,pdfFile,){
GmailApp.sendEmail(email, "Subject", "Message", {
attachments: [pdfFile],
name: "From Someone"
});
}
function Create_PDF(values, ) {
const PDF_folder = DriveApp.getFolderById("1t_BYHO8CqmKxVIucap_LlE0MhslpT7BO");
const TEMP_FOLDER = DriveApp.getFolderById("1TNeI1HaSwsloOI4KnIfybbWR4u753vVd");
const PDF_Template = DriveApp.getFileById('1Ye7DyJQOjA3J_EUOQteWcuASBCfqlA-_lzyNw0REjY8');
const newTempFile = PDF_Template.makeCopy(TEMP_FOLDER);
const openDoc = SpreadsheetApp.openById(newTempFile.getId());
const newOpenDoc = openDoc.getSheetByName("Sheet1");
var body = newOpenDoc.getDataRange().getValues();
for (const key in values) {
body = body.toString().replace("{{"+key+"}}", values[key]);
}
Logger.log(body);
newOpenDoc.getDataRange().setValues(body);
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
const BLOBPDF = newTempFile.getAs(MimeType.PDF);
const pdfFile = PDF_folder.createFile(BLOBPDF);
console.log("The file has been created ");
return pdfFile;
}

When I saw your script, in the for loop of the function Create_PDF, an array retrieved from the sheet is converted to a string. I thought that this might be the reason for your issue.
When this issue was removed, how about the following modification?
From:
var body = newOpenDoc.getDataRange().getValues();
for (const key in values) {
body = body.toString().replace("{{"+key+"}}", values[key]);
}
To:
values = Object.fromEntries(Object.entries(values).map(([k, v]) => [`{{${k}}}`, v]));
var body = newOpenDoc.getDataRange().getValues().map(r => r.map(c => values[c] || c));
By this modification, the converted value by values are put into the sheet.

Google Apps Script add paragraph to Google Document in specific location based on date

I'm using Google Forms to create an easy method of adding stories and photos to a Google doc for a collective history/journal.
My code takes the Google form responses from the linked Google sheet and then just appends the Google Form responses to the Google doc but I would like to add the responses sorted by the date that gets submitted in the Google form. That way an event that gets submitted that took place on 01/01/2020 will be listed before an event that took place on 01/02/2020 etc.
How would I go about doing that?
function autoFillGoogleDocFromForm(e) {
var timestamp = e.values[0];
var photo = e.values[1];
var date = e.values[2];
var event = e.values[3];
var name = e.values[4];
var photoCap = e.values[6];
var photoDesc = e.values[7];
var fileURL = photo;
var fileID = fileURL.substr(fileURL.search("=")+1); //strip off text before id= in the URL
var image = DriveApp.getFileById(fileID).getBlob();
var doc = DocumentApp.openById("1DrE4ElgaP08uOTH52E2GjgmrJmoL2VZsZ1YlNeV0_20")
var body = doc.getBody();
body.appendPageBreak();
body.appendParagraph(date);
body.appendParagraph(event);
body.appendParagraph(name);
body.appendImage(image);
body.appendParagraph(photoCap);
body.appendParagraph(photoDesc);
doc.saveAndClose();
}

Here is an example of how to insert paragraphs based on date. I use Date object to compare dates so I convert a text string in the form "1/1/2022" to a Date object.
The format of your Doc must have the date string directly following the Page Break.
function testAutoFillGoogleDocFromForm() {
try {
let row = { values: [ "time", "photo", "2/1/2022", "event", "name", "", "photoCap", "photoDesc" ]};
autoFillGoogleDocFromForm(row);
console.log("done");
row = { values: [ "time", "photo", "1/1/2023", "event", "name", "", "photoCap", "photoDesc" ]};
autoFillGoogleDocFromForm(row);
console.log("done");
}
catch(err) {
console.log(err)
}
}
function autoFillGoogleDocFromForm(e) {
try {
let timestamp = e.values[0];
let photo = e.values[1];
let date = new Date(e.values[2]);
let event = e.values[3];
let name = e.values[4];
let photoCap = e.values[6];
let photoDesc = e.values[7];
let doc = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument();
let body = doc.getBody();
let i = 0;
while( i < body.getNumChildren() ) {
let para = body.getChild(i);
if( para.getType() === DocumentApp.ElementType.PARAGRAPH ) {
let j = 0;
console.log("numchild = "+body.getNumChildren());
while( j < para.getNumChildren() ) {
let child = para.getChild(j);
if( child.getType() === DocumentApp.ElementType.PAGE_BREAK ) {
// get next paragraph and check date
if( (i+1) >= body.getNumChildren() ) break; // in case there is a page break at the end of body
para = body.getChild(i+1);
let temp = new Date(para.asParagraph().getText());
console.log(temp);
if( temp > date ) {
body.insertPageBreak(i++);
body.insertParagraph(i++,date.toLocaleDateString());
body.insertParagraph(i++,event);
body.insertParagraph(i++,name);
body.insertParagraph(i++,photoCap);
body.insertParagraph(i++,photoDesc);
return;
}
}
j++;
}
}
i++;
}
// if the date is latest just append a new page
body.appendPageBreak();
body.appendParagraph(date.toLocaleDateString());
body.appendParagraph(event);
body.appendParagraph(name);
//body.appendImage(image);
body.appendParagraph(photoCap);
body.appendParagraph(photoDesc);
}
catch(err) {
console.log(err)
}
}

Importing data to localstorage

Could anybody help me out sorting the following code or help me in the right direction?
It needs to import data from a .txt file and store it into localstorage as key & value.
Key is before ':' and value comes after it. A new key / value is separated after each ','.
Sample data from .txt file is:
nl-step1chapter1Question6:U2FsdGVkX19bRT84xShxK+29ypgj1d6ZHt+2DVBCUtY=,nl-step1chapter1Question1:U2FsdGVkX1+/Sv61L69bLvQGTkf1A9Uy4jgJ3KZTkzI=,nl-step1chapter1Question4:U2FsdGVkX1+9SVVOvTKeZuaQGj58L5WnEgL8htS0c7U=,jft:320982da-f32a-46a2-a97c-605ebe305518,nl-step1chapter1Question5:U2FsdGVkX19pi8A+PQZ7rBNCWrFeCwl2HdXpV+wWkFk=,nl-step1chapter1Question2:U2FsdGVkX19hnRnpmP3omzYNU0jXd3NtsHM+mvGYBnc=,nl-step1chapter1Question3:U2FsdGVkX1+hPbMRN+x19y7pF73eXoxG0qK1igZYZbA=
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="application/x-javascript">
$(function importData() {
document.getElementById('file').onchange = function () {
//debugger;
var file = this.files[0];
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function (progressEvent) {
//console.log(this.result.split(','));
var lines = this.result.split(',');
var list = [];
for (var line = 0; line < lines.length; line++) {
list.push(lines[line]);
localStorage.setItem([line],lines);
}
};
reader.readAsText(file);
};
});
</script>
Any help is much appreciated!

The way you are using FileReader doesn't seem correct to me. This is how your importData() function should be:
$(function importData() {
document.getElementById('file').onchange = function (event) {
var input = event.target;
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function () {
var text = reader.result;
var lines = text.split(',');
for (var line = 0; line < lines.length; line++) {
let elements = lines[line].split(':');
localStorage.setItem(elements[0], elements[1]);
}
};
reader.readAsText(input.files[0]);
};
});
It will insert the elements in the localStorage as you described. For example: key = step1chapter1Question1 and value = U2FsdGVkX1+/Sv61L69bLvQGTkf1A9Uy4jgJ3KZTkzI=

Accessing Cells with Sheetjs

I followed the demo here:
https://github.com/SheetJS/js-xlsx/tree/master/demos/electron
I'm able to drag an excel file into my electron app.
The documentation says, you can access every cell with:
for(var R = range.s.r; R <= range.e.r; ++R) {
for(var C = range.s.c; C <= range.e.c; ++C) {
var cell_address = {c:C, r:R};
/* if an A1-style address is needed, encode the address */
var cell_ref = XLSX.utils.encode_cell(cell_address);
}
}
How do I use it with my Code below? I got the content of the file stored in my test variable, but I'm not able to access it. The documentation lack of information there.
var do_file = (function() {
return function do_file(files) {
var f = files[0];
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(e) {
var data = e.target.result;
data = new Uint8Array(data);
test = XLSX.read(data, {type: 'array'});
console.log(test);
};
reader.readAsArrayBuffer(f);
};
})();
I got no clue how to start with it, thanks in advance

Here it goes:
var do_file = (function() {
return function do_file(files) {
var f = files[0];
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(e) {
var data = e.target.result;
data = new Uint8Array(data);
//process_wb(XLSX.read(data, {type: 'array'}));
/* read the file */
var workbook = XLSX.read(data, {type: 'array'}); // parse the file
var sheet = workbook.Sheets[workbook.SheetNames[0]]; // get the first worksheet
/* loop through every cell manually */
var range = XLSX.utils.decode_range(sheet['!ref']); // get the range
for(var R = range.s.r; R <= range.e.r; ++R) {
for(var C = range.s.c; C <= range.e.c; ++C) {
/* find the cell object */
console.log('Row : ' + R);
console.log('Column : ' + C);
var cellref = XLSX.utils.encode_cell({c:C, r:R}); // construct A1 reference for cell
if(!sheet[cellref]) continue; // if cell doesn't exist, move on
var cell = sheet[cellref];
console.log(cell.v);
};
reader.readAsArrayBuffer(f);
};
})();

Generally you can access a cell with standard excel coordinates like
console.log(sheet['My Sheet Name']['B3'].v);
