how to cleanup your Opera tabs from the CLI

If you're like me, you have many, many tabs open. Sometimes, you might like to close all the stupid tabs you don't need, like those ding-dang leftover zoom tabs or all the jira tabs you opened in anger the night before.

This one kinda got away from me, not gonna lie.

Examples

$ cleanup_opera
Usage: cleanup_opera URL_SUBSTRING_TO_FIND

$ cleanup_opera mlb
deleting tab "YETI Officially Licensed MLB™ Drinkware" with URL "https://www.yeti.com/en_US/mlb-drinkware.html"

$ cleanup_opera junk
No matching tabs

cleanup_opera

#!/bin/bash

if [ "$#" -ne 1 ]
then
  echo "Usage: cleanup_opera URL_SUBSTRING_TO_FIND"
  exit 1
fi

osascript cleanup_opera.scpt $1

cleanup_opera.scpt

on run argv
    tell application "Opera"
    	# this returns a list of lists of matching tabs, one per window you have open
	set listOfTabsInWindows to get every tab in every window whose URL contains item 1 of argv

	# cheesy list merge don't functional me bro
	set tabList to {}
	repeat with t in listOfTabsInWindows
		set tabList to tabList & t
	end repeat

	# let ya know if nothing matched your search (could do it earlier I suppose)
	if items of tabList is {} then
		log "No matching tabs"
		return
	end if

	# close up them tabs with some cheesy logs
	repeat with t in tabList
		set tabTitle to (title of t as string)
		set tabURL to (URL of t as string)
		log "deleting tab \"" & tabTitle & "\" with URL \"" & tabURL & "\""
		close t
	end repeat
    end tell
end run
