Bulk extract text from Google Docs for analysis

The following Google Apps Script is designed to go through a number of Google Docs and extract specific text from the body that represents an answer to a question. The tool was developed as a result of a Researcher needing to analyse hundreds of files that were each an answer to various survey questions. There were two specific sections that needed to be targeted and the content collated into a spreadsheet so further analysis could be performed.
