arbtt nested if then else in categorize.cfg

I'm new to this so bear with me but I'm trying to do a rule that splits out my time on Firefox tabs using arbtt v0.7 in categorize.cfg:

-- Firefox
current window ($program == "Navigator") ==>
  if $title =~ /^(.*) - (.*@.*) - .* Mail - Mozilla Firefox$/ then tag Email:$2-$1 else
  if $title =~ /^(.*) - Calendar - Mozilla Firefox$/          then tag Calendar:$1 else
  if $title =~ /^(.*) - Mozilla Firefox$/                     then tag Firefox:$1  else
                                                                   tag Firefox,

But I get:

Parser error: "/home/rich/.arbtt/categorize.cfg" (line 29, column 3): unexpected "i" expecting "else"

I have also tried another approach with more success:

current window ( $program == "Navigator" && $title =~ /^(.*) - (.*@.*) - .* Mail - Mozilla Firefox$/ )
  ==> tag Email:$2-$1,
current window ( $program == "Navigator" && $title =~ /^(.*) - Calendar - Mozilla Firefox$/ )
  ==> tag Calendar:$1,
current window ( $program == "Navigator" && $title =~ /^((?!.*\b(Calendar|Mail)\b)) - Mozilla Firefox$/ )
  ==> tag Firefox:$1,

But the last clause doesn't return any results; the first two clauses do.

Cheers, Rich

It looks like a bug in arbtt; I agree that your code looks correct.

But anyways, it might be more idiomatic to use the ; operator, which means “Try the first thing, and if it does not assign a tag, try the second thing”:

current window ($program == "Navigator") ==> 
  { $title =~ /^(.*) - (.*@.*) - .* Mail - Mozilla Firefox$/ ==> tag Email:$2-$1;;
    $title =~ /^(.*) - Calendar - Mozilla Firefox$/          ==> tag Calendar:$1;
    $title =~ /^(.*) - Mozilla Firefox$/                     ==> tag Firefox:$1;
    tag Firefox },

(The ;; is because of another bug in the parser – guess that part hasn’t been used a lot yet.)

In your second attempt, there is simply a problem with the regex: It should be /^(?!.*\b(Calendar|Mail)\b)(.*) - Mozilla Firefox$/ – (?!...) is a zero-width pattern.
