Google Spreadsheet Script to get all the sheet names in Active Spreadsheet

Question:

Im trying to use the gallery script getAllSheetNames to put a list of sheets on a "report" sheet that I have. Im very new to javascript and while I understand how it is getting the names and creating a list, Im not sure how to have the data flow into my sheet. 

Im trying for instance to have it start at range A5 for the first item, A6 for the second etc...

Can somebody help me with an example how to populate cells from data in a list. 

Solution:

Here is the script to get all sheet names in the active spreadsheet, open script editor and paste the following script in it:


function getAllSheetNames() {
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  var currentSheet = ss.getSheetByName("report");
  var sheets = ss.getSheets();
  var sheetnames = [];
  
  for(var i=0;i<sheets.length;i++)
    sheetnames.push([sheets[i].getName()]);

  //To set values from Cell A5
  currentSheet.getRange(5,1,sheetnames.length,1).setValues(sheetnames);
}

The above script will populate all the sheet names in Sheet 'report', which you can change according to your requirement.
