Simple script in ClipboardFusion to replace text.
But I need the macro to only run if Chrome is the focused application.
Had a look at GetMainFileByWindow and other functions but can't get them implemented into the code.
Here's a sample of the current code, and help to add a statement if a window (chrome) is the focused app will be appreciated.

Code
Copy
Select All

using System;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

public static class ClipboardFusionHelper
{
    public static string ProcessText(string text)
    {
        //use the Regex class to replace any matched text with an empty string
    if (text.Contains("**"))
    {
    text = text.Replace ("**","");
    text = Regex.Replace (text, @"(.*),.*- (.*),.*(\(.*)", "$1 vs $2 $3");
    }    
    else
    {
        text = Regex.Replace (text, @"\n", "");
        text = Regex.Replace (text, @".*\[Date ""([1-2][0-9][0-9][0-9]).*\[White ""(.*)"".*\[Black ""(.*)"".*\[Result.*", "**$2 - $3** ($1)");
    }
        
        BFS.Clipboard.PasteText(text);
        //get ClipboardFusion to replace the text on the clipboard with the text variable
        return text;
    }
}

Just spotted this went into the DisplayFusion section - apologies for that!

Something like this should work:

Code
Copy
Select All

using System;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

public static class ClipboardFusionHelper
{
    public static string ProcessText(string text)
    {
        if (BFS.Window.GetText(BFS.Window.GetFocusedWindow()).Contains("Chrome"))
        {
            BFS.Dialog.ShowMessageInfo("blah");
            
            //use the Regex class to replace any matched text with an empty string
            if (text.Contains("**"))
            {
            text = text.Replace ("**","");
            text = Regex.Replace (text, @"(.*),.*- (.*),.*(\(.*)", "$1 vs $2 $3");
            }    
            else
            {
                text = Regex.Replace (text, @"\n", "");
                text = Regex.Replace (text, @".*\[Date ""([1-2][0-9][0-9][0-9]).*\[White ""(.*)"".*\[Black ""(.*)"".*\[Result.*", "**$2 - $3** ($1)");
            }
                
                BFS.Clipboard.PasteText(text);
                //get ClipboardFusion to replace the text on the clipboard with the text variable
            }
        }
        return text;
}

Note that the "return text;" line needs to either be outside of the if statement, or you have to include it in all of the if/else blocks. (all possible code paths have to return a string). You can also do "return null;" instead if you don't want to put anything back on the clipboard.

Thank you replying. That's much neater than my solution.
