# to merge current windows

(* what is being done here
Check if Finder windows exist.
If two windows exist, then set them to be in bound1 and bound2.
If more than one window exists, then merge them all. Copy the active tab. Close the active tab. Set bounds to bound1.
Then open a new window with active tab path. Set bounds to bound2.

var getXPath = '//div[contains(@class, "CopyToClipBoardInput")]/input';
var nodes = document.evaluate(getXPath, document, null, XPathResult.ANY_TYPE, null);

getElem.value // or is it getElem.valueOf


var getXPath = "//div[contains(@class, 'ContactInfoCallModal-phone')]//div";
