Hi all) I need to get all links from google document. I found that general approach:
function getAllLinks(element) {
var links = [];
element = element || DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getBody();
if (element.getType() === DocumentApp.ElementType.TEXT) {
var textObj = element.editAsText();
var text = element.getText();
Logger.log("text " + text);
var inUrl = false;
for (var ch=0; ch < text.length; ch++) {
var url = textObj.getLinkUrl(ch);
if (url != null) {
if (!inUrl) {
// We are now!
inUrl = true;
var curUrl = {};
curUrl.element = element;
curUrl.url = String( url ); // grab a copy
curUrl.startOffset = ch;
}
else {
curUrl.endOffsetInclusive = ch;
}
}
else {
if (inUrl) {
// Not any more, we're not.
inUrl = false;
links.push(curUrl); // add to links
curUrl = {};
}
}
}
}
else {
var numChildren = element.getNumChildren();
for (var i=0; i<numChildren; i++) {
links = links.concat(getAllLinks(element.getChild(i)));
}
}
Logger.log(links);
}
It works perfectly fine if i, for example, type url in text, but if add link via menu ("Insert" -> "Link") it doesn't work, function getLinkUrl()
returns null
. Documentation contains info about Link class, i thought all links represented by it, but don't understand why i can't get link inserted via menu.
I thought maybe i can use some regular expression on text of document element, but if i add link via menu item i can specify custom label for link, which may not contain url in it.
Have anyone faced this scenario? What i missed?
