How to loop range of cells and set value in adjacent column

Question

I\'m learning Google Apps Scripts for use with Google Spreadsheets.

I have a list of URLs in one column and I want to write a script to get the title element from e

Answer 1

May look something like this:

function getTitles() {
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("url_list");
  var urls = sheet.getRange("G3:G").getValues();
  var titleList = [], newValues = [],
      response, doc, title;

  for (var row = 0, var len = urls.length; row < len; row++) {
    if (urls[row] != '') {
      response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(urls[row]);
      doc = Xml.parse(response.getContentText(),true);
      title = doc.html.head.title.getText();
      newValues.push([title]);  
      titleList.push(title);  
      Logger.log(title);
    } else newValues.push([]);
  }

  Logger.log('newValues ' + newValues);
  Logger.log('titleList ' + titleList);

  // SET NEW COLUMN VALUES ALL AT ONCE!
  sheet.getRange("H3").offset(0, 0, newValues.length).setValues(newValues);
  return titleList; 
}
