[您知道”GCPUG”要怎麼唸嗎？為什麼會有一隻狗在 Logo裡面呢？]
Google Cloud Platform User Group的縮寫是GCPUG
GCPUG直接唸成G.C.P.U.G？當然可以！
但它也可以分開來，唸成 G.C. PUG喔～
Pug，指的是巴哥犬，所以 GCPUG的Logo中間才會有一隻可愛的巴哥犬喲。
下次聽到別人說G.C. PUG 的時候，您就可以大聲 說：「我也是G.C. PUG社團成員！」

function doAction(){
var files = DriveApp.searchFiles(
'modifiedDate > "2015-01-01" and title contains "untitled"');
while (files.hasNext()) {
var file = files.next();

17. Type of Scripts - Bound to G Suite Documents
function doAction(range) {
// Get the active spreadsheet and the active sheet
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
// Get the range of cells that store employee data.
var libraryDataRange = sheet.getRange(range);
var libraryObjects = getRowsData(sheet, libraryDataRange, 1);
libraryObjects.forEach(function (row, index) {
var latlng = getLatitudeLongitude(row.address)
if (latlng) {
sheet.getRange(index + 2, 5, 1, 1).setValue(latlng.lat);
sheet.getRange(index + 2, 6, 1, 1).setValue(latlng.lng);
}
});
}
Bound to Google Apps
A script is bound to a Google Sheets, Docs, or Forms file.

18. Type of Scripts - Bound to G Suite Documents. continue
Trigger and Events
Triggers let Apps Script run a function automatically when a certain event,
like opening a document, occurs.

19. Type of Scripts - Web Apps and Site Gadgets
Web Apps and Site Gadgets
If you build a user interface for a
script, you can publish the script
as a web app
◉ It contains a doGet(e) and
doPost(e) function.
◉ The function returns an
HTML service HtmlOutput
object or a Content service
TextOutput object.

function doGet() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById('1QgsaX4Vn_lIwLFRC_iHs6gmJYIP4y-35nVqQOpz4B0s');
var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
// Get the range of cells that store employee data.
var employeeDataRange = ss.getRangeByName("employeeData");
// For every row of employee data, generate an employee object.
var employeeObjects = getRowsData(sheet, employeeDataRange);
return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify(employeeObjects)).setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);

var blob = new Blob([new Uint8Array(data.content)], { type: "octet/stream" });
var link = document.createElement('a');
link.download = data.fileName;
link.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
link.click();
$('#export').text('Export')
}

24. i18n helper. continue
function exportJobs(data) {
var blobs = [];
...
data.columns.forEach(function (column) {
blobs.push(getBlob(ss, data.sheet, column.name, parseInt(column.index, 10) + 1));
})
var now = new Date();
var datetime = Utilities.formatDate(now, 'Asia/Taipei', 'yyyyMMddHHmm');
var fileName = ass.getName() + "_" + ss.getName() + "_i18n_" + datetime + ".zip";
var zip = Utilities.zip(blobs, fileName);
return {
fileName: fileName,
content: zip.getBytes(),
}
}
function getBlob(ss, sheetName, columnName, columnIndex) {
content = getContent(ss, columnName, columnIndex)
return Utilities.newBlob(content, "text/javascript", columnName + ".js")
