I just want to thank you ! All your videos have helped me a lot !
This channel is really the best. I wouldn't learn as much without it.

I too am thankful for all your tutorials. I have learned so much and have applied much of what I've learned. I'm posting this so others will know that I've come across a problem with the V8 update using examples from your email merge tutorials and tags. The code below worked until I activated V8, but had to roll back to the legacy version after failing to figure out a fix. The V*8 version would not replace the tag values with those from the object; the tags would simply display in the email instead of the values they were to be replaced with. If there's a solution to the 'replace' method it would be helpful to learn what it is.


for (var [key, val] in obj) {
returnString = returnString.replace("{" + key + "}", val.toString());
}

Nice job now we want to learn all those functions.

At 1:25 you say you'll follow up with more videos since you just touch on things here. Please do! Your videos are the best I've found for a practical introduction to Google App Scripts, and the subject of how to apply powerful JavaScript features in G.A.S. is much needed. Regex is another example: although you've done many Regex videos, there's none showing how to apply all that in G.A.S. I've looked and found no good tutorials on Regex in G.A.S. so I'm sure you'd get lots of views. One more thing: I'm still seeing the problems you mention with the logger.

Glad you said something about Log time....thought something was wrong with my internet.

Did you ever create any videos on some of the new functionalities offered? (1:25)
I'm particularly interested in the async functions and syntax to reduce callbacks. Also things like 'let' and 'new'. I see you using them in some of your newer videos but have haven't found one explaining them more in in depth.

Love the content!

Hello, it´s fine?
I have a question.
I am using google scripts and I want to send an email to the user with a "confirmation" button.
When that user clicks the button, I want them to make a change to the google spreadsheet.

Man, I just wanna ask, can google script build me a prediction source like I have some data I want to use as auto predictions in my sheet, same like auto filling, so is it possible?

[soltiscd]

Sorry for a silly question but what are the different ways this is used in everyday work places. What are the uses and reasons behind it? Thanks for any feedback.

[lpanebr]

Excellent!!! Now I just have to convert my scripts which sadly use lots of unsupported constructions. Maybe a video on that? Thanks!

[bocobox]

Thanks for your timing info. but I am new to app script and need to build up skills more with your previous video. but I am wondering this feature is handy for end user like me, it looks like a lot of extentions though.

I’ve noticed that a bigger script of mine takes 34 seconds instead of 10 with Rhino. Have you seen something similar?

how to password protect a page using appscript

[ledsonvanini]

U're the best...I'm just sorry that the debugger has been so slow lately. Is it because of the V8 implementation?

[ayagjian]

if I don't want to update my script, will google eventually force me to go to V8?

[christales]

Hey! Your videos are always so helpful! Thank you :)
Regarding 'require' - as far as I noticed, it seems that all the .gs files are shared across anyway, so the require function would seem redundant. Unless there are other reasons of using it?

[stefaniaurelina]

hi, I watched your video about indexOf and I tried doing what u did. Unfortunately, it said that 'indexOf' is not a function. Is it because of the new update? Thanks btw, I will appreciate your help
