Sniff... sniff... no one wants to play with you anymore :(

I don't run Linux and, apparently, it can't be done within a browser 
(at least, from the little research I did, that's what I found) so I 
thought I'd do something I've never done... and probably never 
will do again... try it in Applescript. It's sorta cool but I doubt I'll 
spend time to learn it... anyway:

You'd think that he would have been used to it by now... having
alienated even the children who dared to play with him in the sandbox
by debating the level of urine in the sand underneath them.

Marek had me disable the PGP/Mime option which seems to have fixed it.
I'm keeping it on for e-mail though.

So you have no idea. Fine. No big deal.

Snit, in case you missed this, Carroll actually took on your challenge. Seems like it works though even then he had to troll you. Would be curious to compare your solution with his.

There is a "Copy all URLs" extension for chromium.  You can also parse
~/.config/chromium/Default/"Current Session" for them.  "Current Tabs"
has old ones, oddly.

Thank you. The extension would likely serve my needs just fine, and might
even be faster (though my "Actions" ran quickly in my video there are times
they take a couple seconds more).

Just went to the extension site and I see they even have a "custom format"
-- which means I can have it with brackets or whatever if I like (or so I
assume). Might not be able to have both, as I have now, but not a big deal.

Cool.

If such a thing did not exist, how would you add it to Chrome? Just
curious...

I've never looked into writing a browser extension, so I don't know.
I would probably just parse one of the files like this:

anon@lowtide:~/.config/chromium/Default$ strings "Current Session"  |grep http | sort |uniq |grep -v newtab
https://www.amazon.com/
http://www.amazon.com/
http://www.breitbart.com/
http://www.foxnews.com/
http://www.godlikeproductions.com/
http://www.lunaticoutpost.com/
anon@lowtide:~/.config/chromium/Default$ 

Now that shows tabs across two different browser windows, so it's not
ideal.

"Current Tabs" works the same way, but it is only created after closing
the browser, so I guess it functions as a recover last session thingie.
"Current Session" is updated continually with new tab URLs, but it
doesn't remove closed URLs, even on browser close, so a script's logic
would need to take that into account and depending on what you wanted
it to do, it might delete one or both files at some point.

With the extension, it copies to the clipboard selection, so you could do
that for each task-oriented browser window you had, following each copy
with an `xsel -b >set1` (set2, set3, etc.), and have different sets of
tab urls that you could later pass to a script that opens those sets in
different browser windows, possibly positioning the windows on different
virtual desktops.

With mine I could have it go through all browser windows... but I generally
just want the one.

Basically what I am looking for is being able to grab all the URLs so I can
paste them here or wherever. I could make mine even better by checking the
length of the URL and, if it is over X characters long, passing it through a
URL shortener. Would have to play to do that...

The pre-made extension would be good enough... but it sounds like lacking
that it would be a challenge on Linux. Note... LACKING THAT... but that is
not the case. As it is the "task" is easily done on Linux. Not a surprise
given that even Safari had such an extension. Might even be a different one
for it... but I am happy having the feature be semi-hidden in a menu and not
throwing another icon on the screen. In that I prefer my script to the
extension I had.

Which is what I just showed you above.

It is no problem (as I show above) to get the tab URLs without using
a browser extension.  You just have to parse "Current Session" or
"Current Tabs".

Nobody said otherwise... though it would be good to see it in action. Your
last un-shown script I accepted as just working because it seemed like it
should have, but when I tested it (admittedly with a different browser and
OS) it failed. 

Still, with a quick look no reason to think your current one would... unlike
Carroll's which had a pretty big flaw he failed to understand even after I
pointed it out to him.

Sure - at least certainly seems so and I cannot think of why what you show
would not work. Well done... if that is what you are looking for.

Curious: would you need to use a hot-key or extra icon on your screen (not
tied to the browser)? I am not sure I could get an icon to show just with
Safari but I could tie it to a hot key that worked only when running Safari.

I didn't write what I meant, I should have said that I couldn't
find a way with javascript. In any event, given how he worded
the challenge, I expected to see an extension, not a script that
was turned into a service, like his shows. As I said, I've never 
used Appescript before but it definitely can be useful if you're
doing these sorts of things. But I don't see any money in it so 
I'll leave it at that. Being that he didn't specify formatting or 
the getting of feedback (notifications) I didn't bother with any 
of that; it looks like adding notifications would be easy enough.
While I fulfilled his challenge as worded, I give kudos to him 
for the addition of the helper method (which eliminates the 
loop altogether):

- --
tell application "Safari"
  set urlObj to (URL of every tab of window 1)
end tell
set the clipboard to urlObj as text
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "\n"
- --

I think he's crazy for not learning javascript, there are reasons 
Apple is including it. With javascript he could actually add to 
his web development capabilities and even earn a living with
it. You really can't do much front end work if you don't have 
a solid grasp of the basics. On the back end there is node.js,
which isn't going anywhere any time soon.

Your new hammer?

Snit noted that there was no extension so he was trying to find a way to script it. Your assumption is this means he was not trying to find a way to script it.

Can you be any more lost with the English language, Steven Petruzzellis?

What the hell do you mean by these sorts of things? Things you could not even understand?

Steven Petruzzellis just admitted he is paid to harass and troll Snit.

Are you calling a bunch of URLs a URL object? That seems stupid.

Yes, Carroll was a bit off but he had the basic idea... not going to nit
pick him for it. His solution was not as efficient as it could be but he
admits to not knowing AppleScript. No harm and I appreciate him focusing on
tech over trolling.

Nor was I specific with the challenge. I added it because my script can be
slow so I wanted to make sure I would not paste before it was done. It does
add a nice touch, but not needed.

Need to set the delimiter before you use it... but that pretty much works.
Also, the AppleScript editor converts the \n to an actual new line making it
harder to read... it is more clear if you use the word return. I updated my
script to this:

--------
on run
  tell application "Safari"
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to return
    set theURLs to (URL of every tab of window 1)
  end tell
  set the clipboard to theURLs as text
  display notification "Copied: " & (count of theURLs) & " URLs." as text
end run
---------

I tend to use the delimiters in AppleScript less than I "should," or at the
very least my using them more would make my scripts more concise and
sometimes faster.

> Are you calling a bunch of URLs a URL object? That seems stupid.

Well, it is an object (a list) containing URLs. Nothing wrong with the name.

Nor is that the implication he is making. JavaScript is more universal than
AppleScript.

"I am asking because I had an extension for Safari on OS X 
which used to do this for me... but with Sierra it is no longer supported. 
So I wrote my own... " - Snit

Adding the remainder doesn't change a thing with respect to the info this
conveys. The phrase, "my own", at this point, is clearly in reference to "an 
extension for Safari on OS X". It's "interesting" how you and this same 
stupid puppet keep mangling the language in the exact same ways. LOL!

> not going to nit
> pick him for it. His solution was not as efficient as it could be

True, but this isn't a case where efficiency comes into play. 
I realize this will baffle the hell out of you but it's even possible 
that a longer version of the code is more efficient than a
shorter version. Unless you perform testing you won't know.

> but he
> admits to not knowing AppleScript. No harm and I appreciate him focusing on

Which is more than what you did with my challenge. This is the 
first (and probably the last) Applescript I've written and, as basic
as it is,  I still had to wank around looking for info on things like:
'AppleScript's text item delimiters'. Even not having the phrase: 
"as text" stumped me for a bit.

You weren't, and my phrase "I'll leave it at that" meant exactly 
what it said. To learn this language I'd have to devote time I 
should be devoting to things that can generate income and, 
as cool as AppleScript might be, it isn't one of those things.

Even my longer one works instantaneously, your speed is probably
driven down by going through the notifications crap, a thing you
probably wouldn't need it you didn't go through it ;)

There's no "pretty much" about it, once you hit run and save it,
that script works fine as is.

I noticed that when I ran it. Having nothing to do with Applescript,
personally I'd probably opt to use the ACSII character instead.

I guess even you've noticed too many similarities between you and the 
ol' puppet here among so many of the threads you both 'work',  so you 
figure you have to throw the reader off a bit with crap like this.

We got it, Snit... you're trying (too hard) to sell the idea that you are *different* 
than your puppet here. Trust me, no one is buying ;)

It's clear that he was implying he had written a Safari extension,
because in response to my post about the chromium extension, he wrote:

"If such a thing did not exist, how would you add it to Chrome? Just
curious..."
Message-ID: <D40FDEC6.7E97B%usenet@gallopinginsanity.com>

His extension attempt must have FAILED (big surprise, right?),
so now he's begging me to tell him how to write one.  He's "just
curious", dontcha know.  Snit!  I don't know anything about
browser extensions.  Here's an idea:  RTFM!

He may be too busy with Dreamweaver and AppleScript manuals ;)

It was clear in his initial post that he was referring to:
"an extension for Safari on OS X" and the writing of "my own".

I've been catching Snit and Thelma blowing reading comprehension in 
the exact same ways forever, it's getting so bizarre at this point that I fail
to see why he even bothers to keep it up.

I wrote a System Service that acts as an extension to Safari... and it works
fine.

Now, of course, it is not a Safari extension... but as I noted I wanted to
REPLACE the functionality of one.

But whatever, you are trolling me over your "script's window" error... and
error that was really not a big deal but you are crying about it.

I just watched your video.  I can't see your code because it's too
blurry, so I'm not able to see where your code differentiates among
browser windows, as you claimed earlier.
