In Google Apps Script, how would I get all subfolders and all subsubfolders and all subsubsub folders etc.?
I am attempting to rename every file in a specified folder and all files in all subfolders but I cannot figure out how to do so. I so far have this script that renames every file in a folder given its Id, but I need to do all subfolders.
function renameFilesInFolder(folderID) {
var folder = DriveApp.getFolderById(folderID)
var files = folder.getFiles(),
fileNames = []
while(files.hasNext()){
var file = files.next()
var oldFileName = file.getName()
var checkIfMatch = oldFileName.substring(oldFileName.length - 3);
var newFileName = ""
if (checkIfMatch=="OBS"){
newFileName = oldFileName
} else {
newFileName =oldFileName+"_OBS"
}
file.setName(newFileName)
Logger.log(newFileName)
}
}
Solution 1:
This will recurse through the folder writing them into a spreadsheet.
var level=0;
function getFnF(folder) {
var folder= folder || DriveApp.getRootFolder();
var ss=SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var sh=ss.getSheetByName('FilesAndFolders')
var files=folder.getFiles();
while(files.hasNext()) {
var file=files.next();
var firg=sh.getRange(sh.getLastRow() + 1,level + 1);
firg.setValue(Utilities.formatString('File: %s', file.getName()));
}
var subfolders=folder.getFolders()
while(subfolders.hasNext()) {
var subfolder=subfolders.next();
var forg=sh.getRange(sh.getLastRow() + 1,level + 1);
forg.setValue(Utilities.formatString('Fldr: %s', subfolder.getName()));
level++;
getFnF(subfolder);
}
level--;
}
This does is a little faster
function getFnF1(folder = DriveApp.getRootFolder()) {
let tree = JSON.parse(PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().getProperty('FnF'));
//Logger.log(JSON.stringify(tree));
if (tree.level < level) {
tree.level = level;
PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().setProperty('FnF', JSON.stringify(tree));
}
const files = folder.getFiles();
let row = Array.from([...Array(level).keys()], ((x, i) => { if (i == level - 1) { x = folder.getName(); } else { x = ''; } return x; }));
tree.txt.push(row);
row = Array.from([...Array(level).keys()], ((x, i) => { if (i == level - 1) { x = 'bold'; } else { x = 'normal'; } return x; }));
tree.fwt.push(row);
PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().setProperty('FnF', JSON.stringify(tree));
if (files.hasNext()) {
let row = Array.from([...Array(level).keys()], ((x, i) => { if (i == level - 1) { x = 'Files:'; } else { x = ''; } return x; }));
tree.txt.push(row);
tree.fwt.push(['normal']);
PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().setProperty('FnF', JSON.stringify(tree));
}
while (files.hasNext()) {
let file = files.next();
let row = Array.from([...Array(level + 1).keys()], ((x, i) => { if (i == level) { x = file.getName(); } else { x = ''; } return x; }));
tree.txt.push(row);
tree.fwt.push(['normal']);
PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().setProperty('FnF', JSON.stringify(tree));
}
const subfolders = folder.getFolders()
while (subfolders.hasNext()) {
let subfolder = subfolders.next();
level++;
getFnF1(subfolder);
}
level--;
}
function getFilesAndFolders1() {
const fldr = DriveApp.getFolderById(gobj.globals.projectsfolderid);
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
ss.toast("Entry");
const sh = ss.getSheetByName('Sheet1');
sh.clearContents();
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().setProperty('FnF', JSON.stringify({ txt: [], fwt: [], level: 0 }));
getFnF1(fldr);
//Logger.log(PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().getProperty('FnF'));
let tree = JSON.parse(PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().getProperty('FnF'));
const l = tree.level + 1
tree.txt.forEach(r => {
if (r.length < l) {
//Array.from(Array(l - r.length).keys()).forEach(e => r.push(''));
r.splice(r.length,0,...Array(l-r.length).fill(''));
}
});
tree.fwt.forEach(r => {
if (r.length < l) {
//Array.from(Array(l - r.length).keys()).forEach(e => r.push('normal'));
r.splice(r.length,0,...Array(l-r.length).fill('normal'));
}
});
//Logger.log(JSON.stringify(tree));
sh.getRange(1, 1, tree.txt.length, tree.level + 1).setValues(tree.txt);
sh.getRange(1, 1, tree.fwt.length, tree.level + 1).setFontWeights(tree.fwt);
PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().deleteProperty('FnF');
ss.toast("EOF");
