Google Script，如何使用正则表达式将一行从 Sheet1 复制到 Sheet2 而不是一个单元格？

Question

Extremely in-experienced coder here, I have been working on a regex function that searches for keywords in transcripts, then populates a spreadsheet with a transcript if the keywords are found. However, I have only worked out how to populate the sheet with only the one cell, containing the transcript, whereas I want to populate the entire row in which has the transcript cell as well as other cells containing urls, date and times, etc.

Here is my code:

function regexwithsheetpop() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var historySheet = ss.getSheetByName('sheet1');  
var resultsSheet = ss.getSheetByName('Results');
var totalRowsWithData = historySheet.getDataRange().getNumRows();
var data = historySheet.getRange(1, 2, totalRowsWithData).getValues(); 
var regexp = /\W*(identity)\W*\s+(\w+\s+){0,5}(verification)|(verification)\s+(\w+\s+){0,5}(identity)/i;
var result = []; 
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i += 1) {
     var row = data[i];
     var column = row[0];
     if (regexp.exec(column) !== null) {
        result.push(row); }}
if (result.length > 0) {
    var resultsSheetDataRows = resultsSheet.getDataRange().getNumRows();
    resultsSheetDataRows = resultsSheetDataRows === 1 ? resultsSheetDataRows : resultsSheetDataRows + 1; 
    var resultsSheetRange = resultsSheet.getRange(resultsSheetDataRows, 1, result.length);
  resultsSheetRange.setValues(result);}}

So I search Column B in "Sheet1", which contains all the transcripts, for keywords. And if a keyword is found, the regex function populates the "Results" sheet with the transcripts. I would like it if the regex function populates the "Results" sheet with Column A, B and C of "Sheet1" if there is a keyword found in Column B of "Sheet1".

Again, very in-experienced coder here so any simplified or dumb-down feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Welcome! You're most of the way there. To pull in the additional columns from "sheet1", you simply need to include an extra argument in getRange() to get all 3 columns (A, B, C):

var data = historySheet.getRange(1, 1, totalRowsWithData, 3).getValues()

See getRange(row, column, numRows, numColumns) .

Then tweak your for-loop to match the regex on column B and push the entire row array onto results if a match is found.

More about multi-dimensional range outputs here: How do I write data to a single range in Google Apps Script?

And finally, add another argument for the number of columns for resultsSheetRange .

function regexwithsheetpop() {
    var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()
    var historySheet = ss.getSheetByName('sheet1')
    var resultsSheet = ss.getSheetByName('Results')

    var totalRowsWithData = historySheet.getDataRange().getNumRows()
    var data = historySheet.getRange(1, 1, totalRowsWithData, 3).getValues()
    var regexp = /\W*(identity)\W*\s+(\w+\s+){0,5}(verification)|(verification)\s+(\w+\s+){0,5}(identity)/i
    var result = []

    for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i += 1) {
        var row = data[i]
        var column = row[1]
        if (regexp.exec(column) !== null) {
            result.push(row)
        }
    }

    if (result.length > 0) {
        var resultsSheetDataRows = resultsSheet.getDataRange().getNumRows()
        resultsSheetDataRows =
            resultsSheetDataRows === 1
                ? resultsSheetDataRows
                : resultsSheetDataRows + 1
        var resultsSheetRange = resultsSheet.getRange(
            resultsSheetDataRows,
            1,
            result.length,
            3
        )
        resultsSheetRange.setValues(result)
    }
}
