Feature Request: Apply RegEx transformations to existing title about chrome-tab-modifier HOT 5 CLOSED

Hello @NeilForsyth,

I've added the "Title matcher" input and it works like the "URL matcher".

The difference is that you have to use @0 instead of $0 (dollar syntax reserved to URL matcher) in the title input.

You can combine both to alter your title!

Be sure to opt-in for new version notification in Tab Modifier settings. :)

Let me know after the release if it's OK for you with this new feature!

Hi @NeilForsyth,

This feature should work in the current version.

• Create your rule based on GMail like mail.google.com
• Enter your Regexp in the "URL matcher" input
• Use $1 or $2 inside the title to print your variable such as your email

See the README to get more details about configurations.

Um... I think there's a misunderstanding... perhaps this will clarify what I mean:

i.e. if I put something like ([a-z]*@gmail.com) in the URL Matcher input, then $1 in the title, then it would only work if [email protected] was actually written in the URL... but it's not in the URL... it's in the page title already, just at the end (where it's often cut off).

Oh my bad. Yes URL matcher scans the URL with the Regexp, you want to scan the title.

So yes it's not possible.

In case you just want to display your email as a title you may try something. Clear URL matcher and put this in the title input : {.gb_vb} - {title}

.gb_vb seems to be the CSS class where your email is displayed in GMail.

Thanks for that - I've spent some time over the past day figuring out equivalent classes etc. for other sites, and so far it's all working great!

I must say it's more work digging through the DOM than a regex on the title though, so my original feature request still stands, but it's not so critical to me anymore.

...I actually find myself wanting to have a regex (or some other text mangling system) apply from the results of the {selectors}! That's a more powerful request than what I originally asked for, and perhaps a bit much.

Thanks @sylouuu for writing this Chrome extension, and for your support!
