Mixing
Decode/Unescape Unicode Google App Scripts
1
I am new to decoding hence I am unable to decode below response while using UrlFetchApp.
Below is the function I am using to fetch data but getting values in unicode which I need to decode. Any function that I can use to decode this?
function scrap() {
var url = UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skillselect/invitation-rounds");
var elements =/id="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_PageSchemaHiddenField_Input" (.*?)/>/gim;
var x = url.getContentText().match(elements);
Logger.log(x);
}

Although I'm not sure whether this is the best way, how about this modification?
Modified script:
function scrap() {
var url = UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skillselect/invitation-rounds");
var elements =/id="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_PageSchemaHiddenField_Input" (.*?)/>/gim;
var x = url.getContentText().match(elements);
var res = unescape(x[0].replace(/\u/g, "%u")); // Added
Logger.log(res)
}
Result:
When above modified script is used, as a sample, the values are converted as follows.
From:
u003cpu003eThe table below shows the number of invitations issued in the SkillSelect invitation round on 11 September 2018.u003c/pu003ennu003ch3u003eInvitations issued on 11 September 2018u003c/h3u003enn
To:
<p>The table below shows the number of invitations issued in the SkillSelect invitation round on 11 September 2018.</p>nn<h3>Invitations issued on 11 September 2018</h3>nn
References:
- unescape()
- replace()
If I misunderstand your question, I'm sorry.
