How to close safari tabs by url using applescript

Question

I'm looking for a way to close specific tabs in safari by the url. I would probably expand on something like this:

tell application "Safari"
    repeat with t in tabs of windows
        tell t
            if name starts with "google.com" then close
        end tell
    end repeat
end tell

the problem here is that i haven't found a way how to get the url value of a tab and close them based on that.

Answer 1

You can get the URL from Safari based on the active tab.

tell application "Safari"
    set w to first window
    set t to current tab of w
    display dialog (URL of t as string)
end tell

And then you could iterate over every tab/page like this :

tell application "Safari"
    set windowCount to number of windows
        repeat with x from 1 to windowCount
            set tabCount to number of tabs in window x
            repeat with y from 1 to tabCount
                set thistab to tab y of window x
                set foo to URL of thistab
                if foo is not equal to "bar" then close thistab
           end repeat
       end repeat
end tell
