Question

I’m having a bit of trouble removing commas from an array when I go to write it to a cell in google spreadsheets. array.join(”); doesn’t seem to do the trick. I would appreciate any help. Also, anchor[i][j].join(”) returns an error.

Here is a bit of code:

anchor[i][j].join('') returns an error

anchor[i].join('') doesn’t seem to have an effect.

for (var i=0; i(less than) rangeKW.length-2;i++){

anchor[i] = [];

   for (var j=0; j<rangeURL.length;j++){

     anchor[i][j] = ahref + rangeKW[i] + ahref1 + rangeURL[j] + "</a>|";      

    }       
  }    
 cell.setValue("{" + anchor);      
}

Answer 1

array.join() works with “normal” arrays, by normal I mean 1 dimension and applies to the array itself, not on an single element (error on [i][j]), beside that I don’t really understand what you want to do and how your code is related to your question …

concerning anchor[i].join('');// doesn't seem to have an effect. I don’t know how many elements are in there and how they look like but the syntax is correct. You can also use toString() if you want to make it a CSV string.

EDIT : (thanks for the information in comments.)

I think the easiest way (or at least the most clear) would be to create a couple of new variables that you could log separately to see exactly what happens.

for example

var anchorString = anchor[i].join(); // or toString() they both return strings from 1D arrays
Logger.log(anchorString) 

if every index i of anchor have to be in the same cell then write it like this in the i-loop :

var anchorString += anchor[i].join(); 
Logger.log(anchorString)
