  var doc = DocumentApp.openById('123xyzTimp\oOBb|hH...');
  var text = doc.getBody().getText();
  var result = [];
  var r = /[+-]?\d+,[+-]?\d+,[+-]?\d+,[+-]?\d+/g
  while ((res = r.exec(text)) !== null) {
    //result.push([res[0]].toString());
    result.push([res[0]].toString().split(","));
    Logger.log(result);
    }

  //ss.getRange(row, column, numRows, numColumns)
  ss.getRange(ss.getLastRow() + 1, 1, result.length, 4).setValues(result);
}

function write() {

var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();

var doc = DocumentApp.openById('123xyzTimp\oOBb|hH...');

var text = doc.getBody().getText();

var result = [];

var r = /[+-]?\d+,[+-]?\d+,[+-]?\d+,[+-]?\d+/g

while ((res = r.exec(text)) !== null) {

//result.push([res[0]].toString());

result.push([res[0]].toString().split(","));

Logger.log(result);

}

//ss.getRange(row, column, numRows, numColumns)

ss.getRange(ss.getLastRow() + 1, 1, result.length, 4).setValues(result);

        range_input[i][k]='#0076b0'
      }
    }   
  }
  sheet.getRange('A1:B50').setBackgrounds(range_input);
}
