Google Apps Script 在 Google Docs 的特定部分下提取文本

Question

I have a Google Doc with 3 sections and there is text under each section header text.

2 sections with the same header text but different text and I would like to extract text under the last section. Is it possible that I can write script to read the "header" under the "Document Outline" that I need and extract the section only?

I tried script below and use .search() method to find "SECTION 01" however it return the position of 1st header in the document.

function extract_text() {
  const content = DocumentApp.openById("1MaWDAW2OrhNKNDesNIphb0hXQ1jWAbLrprpTRe4bCRw")
  .getBody()
  .getText()

  const position = content.search('Section 01')

  // result = 0
  console.log(position)
}

Solution

The method indexOf() has a second parameter called fromIndex that you can use to skip the first occurrence.

Code

const searchTerm = "Section 01"
const position = content.indexOf(searchTerm, content.indexOf(searchTerm) + 1);

• String.prototype.indexOf()
