<h1>Scripting<a class="headerlink" href="#scripting" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>If you need to process items in some non-trivial way you can take
advantage of the scripting interface the application provides. This is
accessible on command line as <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">copyq</span> <span class="pre">eval</span> <span class="pre">SCRIPT</span></code> or
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">copyq</span> <span class="pre">-e</span> <span class="pre">SCRIPT</span></code> where <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">SCRIPT</span></code> is string containing commands
written in Javascript-similar scripting language (Qt Script with is
ECMAScript scripting language).</p>
<p>Every command line option is available as function in the scripting
interface. Command <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">copyq</span> <span class="pre">help</span> <span class="pre">tab</span></code> can be written as
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">copyq</span> <span class="pre">eval</span> <span class="pre">'print(help(&quot;tab&quot;))'</span></code> (note: <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">print</span></code> is needed to print
the return value of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">help(&quot;tab&quot;)</span></code> function call).</p>
<div class="section" id="searching-items">
<h2>Searching Items<a class="headerlink" href="#searching-items" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>You can print each item with <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">copyq</span> <span class="pre">read</span> <span class="pre">N</span></code> where N is item number
from 0 to <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">copyq</span> <span class="pre">size</span></code> (i.e. number of items in the first tab) and put
item to clipboard with <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">copyq</span> <span class="pre">select</span> <span class="pre">N</span></code>. With these commands it’s
possible to search items and copy the right one with a script. E.g.
having file <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">script.js</span></code> containing</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">var</span> <span class="n">match</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s2">&quot;MATCH-THIS&quot;</span><span class="p">;</span>
<span class="n">var</span> <span class="n">i</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="mi">0</span><span class="p">;</span>
<span class="k">while</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="n">i</span> <span class="o">&lt;</span> <span class="n">size</span><span class="p">()</span> <span class="o">&amp;&amp;</span> <span class="nb">str</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">read</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">i</span><span class="p">))</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">indexOf</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">match</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="o">===</span> <span class="o">-</span><span class="mi">1</span><span class="p">)</span>
    <span class="o">++</span><span class="n">i</span><span class="p">;</span>
<span class="n">select</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">i</span><span class="p">);</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>and passing it to CopyQ using <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">cat</span> <span class="pre">script.js</span> <span class="pre">|</span> <span class="pre">copyq</span> <span class="pre">eval</span> <span class="pre">-</span></code> will put
first item containing “MATCH-THIS” string to clipboard.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="working-with-tabs">
<h2>Working with Tabs<a class="headerlink" href="#working-with-tabs" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>By default commands and functions work with items in the first tab.
Calling <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">read(0,</span> <span class="pre">1,</span> <span class="pre">2)</span></code> will read first three items from the first
tab. To access items in other tab you need to switch the current tab
with <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">tab(&quot;TAB_NAME&quot;)</span></code> (or <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">copyq</span> <span class="pre">tab</span> <span class="pre">TAB_NAME</span></code> on command line)
where <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">TAB_NAME</span></code> is name of the tab.</p>
<p>For example to search for an item as in the previous script but in all
tabs you’ll have to run:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">var</span> <span class="n">match</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s2">&quot;MATCH-THIS&quot;</span><span class="p">;</span>
<span class="n">var</span> <span class="n">tabs</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">tab</span><span class="p">();</span>
<span class="k">for</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="n">var</span> <span class="n">i</span> <span class="ow">in</span> <span class="n">tabs</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="p">{</span>
    <span class="n">tab</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">tabs</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="n">i</span><span class="p">]);</span>
    <span class="n">var</span> <span class="n">j</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="mi">0</span><span class="p">;</span>
    <span class="k">while</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="n">j</span> <span class="o">&lt;</span> <span class="n">size</span><span class="p">()</span> <span class="o">&amp;&amp;</span> <span class="nb">str</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">read</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">j</span><span class="p">))</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">indexOf</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">match</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="o">===</span> <span class="o">-</span><span class="mi">1</span><span class="p">)</span>
