I have an spreadsheet with information like this:
Columnn 1 Column 2
Event 1 00:00:00
Event 2 00:03:25
.
.
If I use this script:
function export() {
var folderName = "the folder";
var folder = DriveApp.getFoldersByName(folderName).next();
var name = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getName();
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var values = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var text = values.map(function (a) {return a.join(' ');}).join('n');
var file = DriveApp.createFile(name+'.txt', text);
folder.addFile(file);
}
I got a file like this:
Event 1 Sat Dec 30 1899 01:42:46 GMT-0300 (CLST)
Event 2 Sat Dec 30 1899 01:46:11 GMT-0300 (CLST)
.
.
But I would like it to be like:
Event 1 00:00:00
Event 2 00:03:25
.
.
What I'm doing wrong??

I'm assuming your numbers are time durations. Try this Logger.log(Utilities.formatDate(value,Session.getScriptTimeZone(), "HH:mm:ss")); where value is the cell value.

- When getting date/time data, Google scripts converts it into a date time javascript object.
Use
getDisplayValues()instead:
var values = sheet.getDataRange().getDisplayValues();
