Chrome Tabs

by Why9999
5 replies
This is kind of a weird question, but it will really help. I want to be able to do the following:

1. Open up, say, 50 tabs in Google Chrome with a different URLs.
2. I want some program to automatically go through those 50 tabs and scrape out the URL on each tab and write it to, say, a text file.

Is there any way to do this?

I've searched around and don't see a way to do it using Powershell for example. Nor do I see a way to do it in .net. Does Google Chrome have its own scripting language by any chance?

Any help is much appreciated...

    There are some nice example of using Google chrome on Internet.I am search this from the Internet there are lots of website that can be guidance of Google chrome.Perhaps a little bit too much, as it’s easy to suddenly find you have a buffet of tabs available, but you’re no longer quite sure what you have open in each one.

      I haven't seen any examples of being able to pull the URL out of Chrome. I can't even find shortcuts to handle it.

        You could try parsing the Current Tabs file in the application directory or you could connect to the history file using SQLite and work out history from date.

          This worked beautifully! For those who follow:

          I opened history; copied to excel; sorted; and then used the following macro to pull out all the URLs.

          That's sweet! Thanks again...

          Sub ExtractHL()
          Dim HL As Hyperlink
          For Each HL In ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks
          HL.Range.Offset(0, 1).Value = HL.Address
          Next
          End Sub
