I have a very long plain text file in my google drive which I need to parse through and select pieces of information through a script. I have successfully pulled out the text and put it into a string variable, but it is so long that the variable only contains about 1/6 of the full document.
This is the code I am using:
function f09ToSpreadsheet() {
var allFilesInFolder,cntFiles,docContent,fileNameToGet,fldr,
thisFile,whatFldrIdToUse;//Declare all variable at once
whatFldrIdToUse = '0B2O23fJ4nQLONlA4RlhuLWp0Y0k';
fileNameToGet = 'Copy of RS_Tionesta_1N.txt';//Assign the name of the file to get to a variable
//Get a reference to the folder
fldr = DriveApp.getFolderById(whatFldrIdToUse);
//Get all files by that name. Put return into a variable
//allFilesInFolder = fldr.getFilesByName(fileNameToGet);
allFilesInFolder = fldr.getFiles();
//Logger.log('allFilesInFolder: ' + allFilesInFolder);
if (allFilesInFolder.hasNext() === false) {
//If no file is found, the user gave a non-existent file name
return false;
};
cntFiles = 0;
//Even if it's only one file, must iterate a while loop in order to access the file.
//Google drive will allow multiple files of the same name.
while (allFilesInFolder.hasNext()) {
Logger.log("yup")
var thisFile = allFilesInFolder.next();
//KEY TO READING TEXT FROM .F05 & .F09 ->
docContent = thisFile.getAs("application/octet-stream");
var string = docContent.getDataAsString();
Logger.log('docContent : ' + string );
};
}The "string" object, when printed to the log, only contains the first part of the text doc.
Is there any way to, say, split up the document into small pieces and store each part in a variable?
