another small newbie question : open inputted URL

[Vindicator209]

I have an input box named $url so this is the rest

$url=InputBox("URL?","URL?")

Run("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE $url")

appearantly, it doesnt work, is there another way to get the same effect without doing this?

$url=InputBox("URL?","URL?")

Run("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE")

WinWait("Microsoft Internet Explorer")

sleep(1000)

send($url)

Use IE.au3. Its in latest stable Autoit v3 version(now it's 3.2).

#include <IE.au3>

$url = InputBox("URL", "URL?")

_IECreate($url)

This should work:

$url=InputBox("URL?","URL?")
Run("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE " & $url)

Hello

Your command is misformatted

It shouldn't be "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE $url" but :

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" & $url

So if the user wants to open google.fr :

the command interpreted by Run will be : C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE google.fr

and not :

C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE $url
