If you can think of a reason why this doesn’t work with Python, this might be helpful in the future. I realize that you work with JavaScript and that this might be a Python related problem that has nothing to do with how PopClip works but I’m taking this as an opportunity to learn so that I don’t have to bother other people in the future or I can myself be able to help others.

I’ve tried to replicate this in my code by adding the print statement as follows but it doesn’t seem to work. The print() statement then prints the cleaned URL to the console, with the end parameter set to an empty string to avoid adding a newline character at the end of the printed string.' The last line of the code calls the clean_url() function with the POPCLIP_TEXT environment variable, which contains the URL that was selected in the previous step by the user. The clean_url() function takes a URL as input, removes the query string from it, and returns the cleaned URL as a string. ' The last line of the code prints the cleaned URL to the console. I’ve asked chatGPT to help me understand what the print statement does and it says: The second has to do with how PopClip receives the output of the script. Is this part of the ‘internals’ of PopClip? I mean, independently of what option you are going to choose, PopClip copies whatever you select to the clipboard? In neither of the two scripts there is anything that indicates that a copy of the string is made. The first thing I’m curious about is how does the script in the extension get the string (the url) it has to process. I don’t know JavaScript but the script is simple enough to figure out what it is doing. Still, what I’m still curious about is how does PopClip does what is not specified in the script (whether it is Python or JavaScript). In the Python version, I imagine this is done via the final print statement. In the JavaScript version this seems obvious because reference to popclip is part of the return statement. The other important difference is the part where the script returns the results to PopClip. It assumes that you have already copied the string to your clipboard. One important difference (and I think here lies the explanation) is that this script does not assume that you are selecting anything with your cursor. Now, even though yours worked, I’d like to understand why this other alternative does not work. What it does is to process whatever is currently in the clipboard and return the “cleaned” version applying the regular expression. The reason I tried with this is because I am confident that the script works when executed from the terminal. I see that, besides the specific Python code you used, there are other differences in theīecause I want to understand how this works, after you provided me with the solution, I tried with the following: #popclip What I had tried, following the tutorials/documentation I found was the following: #popclip If I have one extension as a basis, I can keep creating new and possibly more complex ones to suit my needs. I wanted to do it in Python because this is the only language I feel slightly comfortable with. What a wonderful addition for a wonderful app this is! I have been a PopClip user for a long time but I was not aware of the ‘extension snippet’. I love Popclip and the more things I can do with it, the better. the extension itself, does not show up as one of the extensions available to process the selected text.Īny help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. When I select a text, however, the icon for this extension, i.e. Popclip shows me the extension is installed and I can see the icon of the extension (I borrowed this particular icon from another extension just to do a first test). When I click on the extension everything seems to work fine. You guys can check the contents yourselves. I’ve failed even in trying to achieve something this simple.

I wanted to create a PopClip extension that would copy the selected URL, got rid of ? and all the characters after that and copied the clean URL to the clipboard. I like my privacy and I like to check the contents of the linked page without being tracked. The string of characters after ‘?’ is used to identify me. I tried my best following the instructions in ( GitHub - pilotmoon/PopClip-Extensions: Documentation and source code for PopClip extensions.) but I failed.
