I used js to create my command syntax, now how can I use it?

I have a Google Sheet with .gs script that is successfully generating dynamicnewRichTextValue() parameters which are meant to be injected into a Sheet cell that will contain multiple lines of text each with their own URL. I do not know all of the parameters in advance (might be one text and one link, or two each, or more) which is why I am dynamically generating the parameters.
Let's say the end-state should be this (in this case there are only two line items, but there could be more or less:
var RichTextValue=SpreadsheetApp.newRichTextValue()
.setText("mailto:fred#abcdef.com,mailto:jim#abcdef.com")
.setLinkUrl(0,6,"mailto:fred#abcdef.com")
.setLinkUrl(7,19,"mailto:jim#abcdef.com")
.build();
In my script I don't know how many "setText" parameters or "setLinkUrl" statements I will need to generate, so I am doing it dynamically.
This is simple to handle for "setText" because I can just pass a single variable constructed during an earlier loop that builds the "setText" parameters. Let's call that variable setTextContent, and it works like this:
var RichTextValue=SpreadsheetApp.newRichTextValue()
.setText(setTextContent)
So up to this point, everything is great. The problem is that I have another variable that generates the URL portion of the newrichtextvalue() parameters up to the ".build();" statement. So let's call that variable setUrlContent and it is built in an earlier loop and contains the string for the rest of the statement:
.setLinkURL(0,22,"mailto:fred#abcdef.com").setLinkURL(23,44,"mailto:jim#abcdef.com")
I am stumped trying to figure out how to attach it to the earlier bit. I feel like this is something simple I am forgetting. But I can't find it after much research. How do I hook up setUrlContent to the code above so that the command executes? I want to attach the bits above and get back to assigning it all to a variable I can put into a cell:
var emailCell=SpreadsheetApp.newRichTextValue()
.setText("mailto:fred#abcdef.com,mailto:jim#abcdef.com") // I can dynamically create up to here
.setLinkUrl(0,6,"mailto:fred#abcdef.com") // ...but these last couple lines are
.setLinkUrl(7,19,"mailto:jim#abcdef.com") // stuck in a string variable.
.build();
sheet.getRange(1,1,1,1).setRichTextValue(emailCell)
Thanks!

I believe your goal and situation as follows.
You want to use your script by dynamically changing the number of emails.
Modification points:
When your following script is run, I think that the links are reflected to mailto and fred#abcdef..
var emailCell=SpreadsheetApp.newRichTextValue()
.setText("mailto:fred#abcdef.com,mailto:jim#abcdef.com")
.setLinkUrl(0,6,"mailto:fred#abcdef.com")
.setLinkUrl(7,19,"mailto:jim#abcdef.com")
.build();
sheet.getRange(1,1,1,1).setRichTextValue(emailCell)
I thought that you might have wanted the linked email addresses like below.
fred#abcdef.com has the link of mailto:fred#abcdef.com.
jim#abcdef.com has the link of mailto:jim#abcdef.com.
In this answer, I would like to propose the modified script for above direction.
Modified script:
var inputText = "mailto:fred#abcdef.com,mailto:jim#abcdef.com"; // This is your sample text value.
var ar = inputText.split(",").map(e => {
var v = e.trim();
return [v.split(":")[1], v];
});
var text = ar.map(([e]) => e).join(",");
var emailCell = SpreadsheetApp.newRichTextValue().setText(text);
var start = 0;
ar.forEach(([t, u], i) => {
var len = t.length;
emailCell.setLinkUrl(start, start + len, u);
start += len + 1;
});
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange(1,1,1,1).setRichTextValue(emailCell.build());
In this modification, inputText is splitted to the hyperlink and the text (for example, when your sample value is used, it's fred#abcdef.com and mailto:fred#abcdef.com.), and the text including the hyperlink are put to the cell.
In this case, for example, even when var inputText = "mailto:fred#abcdef.com,mailto:jim#abcdef.com" is modified to var inputText = "mailto:fred#abcdef.com" and var inputText = "mailto:fred#abcdef.com,mailto:jim#abcdef.com,mailto:sample#abcdef.com", each hyperlink are reflected to each text.
Note:
When you want to the hyperlink of mailto:fred#abcdef.com to the text of mailto:fred#abcdef.com, you can also use the following modified script.
var inputText = "mailto:fred#abcdef.com,mailto:jim#abcdef.com"; // This is your sample text value.
var ar = inputText.split(",").map(e => e.trim());
var emailCell = SpreadsheetApp.newRichTextValue().setText(inputText);
var start = 0;
ar.forEach((t, i) => {
var len = t.length;
emailCell.setLinkUrl(start, start + len, t);
start += len + 1;
});
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange(1,1,1,1).setRichTextValue(emailCell.build());

Creating a link tag with parameters

Hi i have a link tag that i am creating from javascript. now i want to append a parameters to that link just like below example.so that when the user clicks that button it should go to that url along with the paramenters
var id="123456789";
var data = ' click' ;
this data tag i am appending to some other element.
now i can able to call /order/product. but when i give id also it is giving error "missing arguments"!!
can anyone please help me?

You'll have to unquote the string where the variable goes
var id = "123456789";
var data = ' click' ;
Or on really up-to-date JavaScript engines that support ES2015+ template literals:
var id = "123456789";
var data = ` click`;
But that won't work on any version of IE (does on Edge).

For easy create link you can use method link(str) of String:
var id="123456789";
var linkText = " click";
var href = "/order/product/" + id;
var data = linkText.link(href);
alert(data);

To make it easier both to write and read (and debug too), I'd recommend the following variant of how to organize the code:
var id = "1234566",
// It is more understandable now that hrefLink contains id concatenated with some other string
hrefLink = "/order/product/" + id,
link = document.createElemen('a');
link.href = hrefLink;
In this way you
See what variable means what
Control what your hrefLink consists of
Follow best practises when instead of multiple lines with var statement you explicitly "show" where the declaration section is:
var a = smth1,
b = smth2;
So just by looking at this code you easier understand that that is a code chunk of variables declaration

You just need to remove the quotes from id
just like below
var id="123456789";
var data = ' click' ;
If You have id within quotes means it will take as string not a variable name and so just remove the quotes. It will work

Is there an easier method to concatenate variables using JavaScript?

I'm currently doing this:
var 1 = "http://www";
var 2 = ".google.";
var 3 = "com/";
then concatenating them together like this
var link = 1+2+3;
Is there an easier and more proficient way of doing this?

I don't know what would be much easier than simple concatenation like you show, but you could put them in an Array and join it together.
(I fixed your variable names to make them valid.)
var first = "http://www";
var second = ".google.";
var third = "com/";
var link = [first, second, third].join("");
Or you could use the .concat() method.
var link = first.concat(second, third);
But both of these are longer than your original so I don't know if that's what you want.

Javascript Computed Values With Arrays

Jquery Each Json Values Issue
This question is similar to above, but not the same before it gets marked duplicated.
After realasing how to use computed values i came across another issue.
In my javascript i have the following code:
var incidentWizard = ['page1.html','page2.html','page3.html'];
var magicWizard = ['page1.html','page2.html','page3.html'];
var loadedURL = 'page1.html';
The input to this function would be (true,'incident')
function(next,wizardname)
{
var WizSize = incidentWizard.length;
wizardName = [wizardName] + 'Wizard';
var wizardPOS = jQuery.inArray(loadedURL,incidentWizard);
And now i want to use the wizardname parameter to decide what array i am going to use...
Loader(incidentWizard[wizardPOS],true);
Ive also tried
Loader([incidentWizard][wizardPOS],true);
and
Loader([incidentWizard][wizardPOS],true);
Also the loader function just required the string value in the array at wizardPOS sorry for confusion
But when trying this i always end up with the outcome...
/incidentWizard
I know this is something to do with using computed values but i've tried reading about them and cant seem to solve this issue.
Basicly i want to use the computed value of wizardName to access an an array of that name.
Please help supports, looking forward to seeing many ways to do this!

On this line:
wizardName = [wizardName] + 'Wizard';
You are attempting to concatenate the string 'Wizard' to an Array with one string element "incident". I'm assuming you just want regular string concatenation:
wizardName = wizardName + 'Wizard';
However, now you only have a string, not an array instance. To fix that, change the way you define your *Wizard arrays to something like:
var wizardyThings = {
incidentWizard : ['page1.html','page2.html','page3.html'],
magicWizard: ['page1.html','page2.html','page3.html']
};
Then your function (which is missing a name as it stands), becomes:
function someMethod(next, wizardname) {
wizardName = wizardName + 'Wizard';
var wizSize = wizardyThings[wizardName].length;
var wizardPOS = jQuery.inArray(loadedURL, wizardyThings[wizardName]);
...
}

You can only access properties of objects that way. For global values, window[ name ] will work. For simple local variables it's just not possible at all. That is, if inside a function you've got
var something;
then there's no way to get at that variable if all you have is the string "something".

I would just put each array as a prop on an object:
var obj {
incidentWizard: ['page1.html','page2.html','page3.html'],
magicWizard: ['page1.html','page2.html','page3.html']
};
Then you can just do obj['incidentWizard'] or obj.incidentWizard this will return:
['page1.html','page2.html','page3.html']

Parsing every element of an array as an integer

I have a string which I need to split into an array and then perform mathematical functions on each element of the array.
Currently I am doing something like this. (Actually, I am doing nothing like this, but this is a very simple example to explain my question!
var stringBits = theString.split('/');
var result = parseInt(stringBits[0]) + parseInt(stringBits[3]) / parseInt(stringBits[1]);
What I would like to know is if there is a way I can convert every element of an array into a certain type that would stop me from having to explicitly parse it each time.

An easier method is to map to the Number object
result= stringBits.map(Number);

javascript 1.6. has map() ( https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference/Objects/Array/Map ), so you can do something like
intArray = someArray.map(function(e) { return parseInt(e) })

You can just loop through it:
for(var i = 0; i < stringBits.length; i++) {
stringBits[i] = parseInt(stringBits[i]);
}

["1","2"].map(Number)
result: [1,2]

If you add a plus (+) sign in front of your strings they should be converted to numeric.
For example, this will print 3:
var x = "1";
var y = "2";
alert((+x) + (+y));
But I am not sure if this is portable to all browsers.
Your code will become:
var stringBits = theString.split('/');
var result = (+stringBits[0]) + (+stringBits[3]) / (+stringBits[1]);
But this is just a hack, so use with care.
I think the parseInt states better what you are trying to do, but you should delegate this responsibility to another method that returns the final data that you need to process. Convert and then process, don’t convert while processing. Your code will be easier to read.
