A keyboard shortcut that strips all trackers,references,affiliate etc.. from URLs presently in the clipboard ?
Here for example I have these URL that happen to be in my clipboard
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/darkreader/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/dark-mode-webextension/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/dark-background-light-text/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/dark-mode-by-albert-inc/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search
In this case, everything after the ? is superfluous tracking
I would like to hit a key and my clipboard becomes
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/darkreader/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/dark-mode-webextension/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/dark-background-light-text/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/dark-mode-by-albert-inc/
You can go into options - general - advanced - paste scripts and create a new script. Give it a name and add the following to the script. This will replace everything including ? and after with an empty string. You can then assign a keyboard shortcut in options - quick paste keyboard, this would only be active when Ditto is in focus
`clip.AsciiTextReplaceRegex("\?.*", "");
return false`
I called it "Strip trackers and affiliates"
~~And it works !!~~
turned this mess

Oh wait, it doesn't work actually
Investigating
I just tried many different changes, trying to find that elusive "carriage return" I even retyped the whole thing in notepad and pasted it. I don't understand what's wrong here
You need 2 slashes before the ?. When you paste 2 slashes in this window it only shows 1.
`clip.AsciiTextReplaceRegex("\\?.*", "");
return false`
Thanks ! Just had another go at this, but I'm doing something wrong
Tried various iterations
still no go
I don't know what I'm doing wrong
@shodanx2
You are adding unnecessary ` characters. It seems to me that the error message gives you a clue about this. Remove the offensive characters and I think the script will work fine.
I have a similar script and it works perfectly fine:
clip.AsciiTextReplaceRegex("utm.*", "");
return false;
Best regards, Claudio Salvio
@shodanx2
I test your script with my previous recommendation and it didn't work either.
To make it work I had to rewrite it as:
clip.AsciiTextReplaceRegex("[?].*", "" );
return false
Best regards, Claudio Salvio
Thank you, this works !
Now to re-iterate for anyone following at home
Step 1 , right click Ditto system tray icon and click options
Step 2
In the general tab, click advanced
Step 3
Click on paste scripts
Step 4
Click Add,
Then fill in Name
Remove URL Trackers
And paste in the code
clip.AsciiTextReplaceRegex("[?].*", "" );
return false
then click Ok - Ok - Ok
Now to use this paste script
Click your destination click box
Press CTRL + ~ on your keyboard to popup Ditto screen
Right click on what you want to paste
And click Remove URL Trackers under Special paste
Nice ! It works !
It was clear once you posted your first screenshot of your filter that the syntax wasn't right, since you're carrying markdown quote syntax into the the chaiscript script window.
Thank you for this useful tool, I am already putting it into practice
If you would like another puzzle like this I have created another request for a somewhat similar filter
Suggestion : On paste script that removes double entries in a multi-line paste ?
