The following Google Apps Script is designed to get permissions of a given Shared drive. It uses the Shared drive ID to then list a users email address and role they have. This page on Google Drive permissions is useful for what we need to put together to make the call.

This solution cleanse Google Sheet data by searching for specific words and replacing them with an alternative. As part of this the solution highlights cell changes with an alternative colour. This example uses ‘TextFinder’ rather than ‘For Loops’.

Sometimes my best option is to write code on the go rather than using libraries or searching for ready-to-use code. I’ve made a short script for parsing URLs and putting the result into my Google Sheet.
As a developer it is always interesting to see how other people approach problems. This little snippet from Max Makhrov caught my eye because the approach to parsing data in a Google Sheet wasn’t one I’d seen before. Follow the source link to have a look yourself…
I would like to send clients a travel advice (url) but I don’t know how to do that with the Maps Service. Luckely the website of the ‘Nederlandse Spoorwegen’ offers a possibility to do what I want to do (with some Google Apps Script).
For our fans in the Netherlands a nice little snippet from Mariette Timmer that builds a custom url to use with the Nederlandse Spoorwegen travel advice site. To solve this Mariette uses the Google Maps geocoder to convert an address into lat/long for needed for Nederlandse Spoorwegen.
Extract a list of members of a Google Group (email address and role) into a Google Sheet. You simply enter the email address of the Google Group that you belong to and then run the Function.

Use the Calendar API to create an Event via Google Apps Script. Includes a tutorial video.
This is a simple Google Apps Script file that may look lengthy but in actual fact is just each possible item of an event that a user may wish to modify. Some of the items have default values which means you could remove them from the script and the Calendar API would use these defaults instead. My hope is that laying out the format like this allows you to then manipulate as you require and learn as I did.

There is a PDF file on the Internet. Say this one. And you want to save it to your Google Drive. The tedious way is to download it to your computer. … and then upload it to your Google Drive. (Seems like too much work.) If only you could send the PDF straight from where it is stored on the Internet, to your Google Drive…
Nice little snippet which shows how you can add .pdf files to Google Drive.
