SecureCRT's script API doesn't yet have a native
GetTabByName() method.
However, you can get a reference to each existing tab by index, and then iterate over all existing tabs looking for the desired tab by name/caption/title (Caption).
These example scripts show you how; both a
python example as well as a
vbscript example are provided.
Each example has a function
GetTabByName() that takes as an argument a string that is considered case-sensitive ("My Tab Name" is not the same as "my tab name" because of case).'
There is a
GetTabByNameCI() that will allow case-insensitive matching.
Enjoy!
