I have always used the insertText() function, but now I want to write a link in my google docs. The ideal would be to be able to write in HTML, but I don't know how.. it seems that it is not possible with the insertText() function.
How can I do that ?
You should be able to use setFormula and the Hyperlink formula like so:
var value = '=HYPERLINK("www.google.com", "Google")';
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()
.getSheetByName("Sheet1")
.getRange("A1")
.setFormula(value);
Edit: Looks like I misread the question. Try this instead:
DocumentApp.getActiveDocument()
.getBody()
.editAsText()
.insertText(0, "link text")
.setLinkUrl("www.google.com");
Edit 2: Looks like .setLinkUrl() is effecting the whole body, not the text inserted. If you put the link text into a variable and use the length of the variable to mark the link area, it should work. Try this instead:
function insertLink() {
var text = "link text\n";
var url = "www.google.com";
DocumentApp.getActiveDocument()
.getBody()
.editAsText()
.insertText(0, text)
.setLinkUrl(0, text.length, url);
}
.setLinkUrl("www.google.com"); after .insertText() with your link text instead of google.com. E.G. DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getBody().editAsText().insertText(0, "link text").setLinkUrl("www.google.com");To add a hyperlink in a document use Body.appendParagraph with setLinkUrl, then merge.
let doc = DocumentApp.create("My Document");
let body = doc.getBody();
body.appendParagraph("Please click ");
let link = body.appendParagraph("here").setLinkUrl("http://www.google.com");
link.merge();
let closing = body.appendParagraph(".");
closing.merge();
The code above will create a document with text that looks like:
Please click here.
You can also use the function below to make all the links in your document clickable.
function makeLinksClickable(document) {
const URL_PATTERN="http[^\b]+"
const body = document.getBody()
var foundElement = body.findText(URL_PATTERN);
while (foundElement != null) {
// Get the text object from the element
var foundText = foundElement.getElement().asText();
// Where in the element is the found text?
const start = foundElement.getStartOffset();
const end = foundElement.getEndOffsetInclusive();
const url = foundText.getText().substring(start,end + 1)
//make url clickable
foundText.setLinkUrl(start, end, url)
// Find the next match
foundElement = body.findText(URL_PATTERN, foundElement);
}
}
If you are looking to find a string with a hyperlink, the following code will work.
function insertLink(){
const body = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getBody()
const text = body.findText('{{googleLink}}').getElement().asText()
text.setText('Link to google')
text.setLinkUrl('www.google.com')
}
I am using this script, this is working Calomun 1 Row > 2.
function InsertLink(e)
{
var actSht = e.source.getActiveSheet();
if (actSht.getName() == ['SheetName']){
var activeCell = actSht.getActiveCell(); //Detec the ActiveCell
//var activeCell = event.range;
var activeCellValue = e.value;
var column = activeCell.getColumn();
var colNums = [1]; //Columns, whose edit is considered
if(colNums.indexOf(column) == -1) return; //If column other than considered then return
var row = activeCell.getRow();
if(row < 2) return; //If header row then return
var length = String(activeCellValue).length;
if (!e.value)
{
activeCell.setValue()
}
else if(length > 4)
{
activeCell.setValue('=HYPERLINK' + '("http://otrs/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom;TicketNumber='+activeCellValue+'";"'+activeCellValue+'")' );
}
}
}
