Getting input

[tubbybunz]

hi,

i'm trying to write a program that allows me paste a list of urls somewhere (whether it be a notepad file, input box, whatever) and have this program open internet explorer and go to each one of them in turn. for example, if i had a list like this:

www.link1.com

www.link2.com

www.link3.com

i would want to copy it from here, paste it somewhere where the program could read and seperate it, and then have it open up internet explorer and navigate to those sites. i've read through the forums and some of the tutorials and figured out how to open and navigate internet explorer, but i'm stuck on this input part.

thanks for any help anyone can give me.

You mean like:

GUICtrlRead()

FileOpen()

FileWrite()

FileReadLine()

_IENavigate()

ShellExecute()

Stuff like that?

yeah, that looks like what i'm getting at. do you have time to write out an example of how to implement them? otherwise, i'll just try to find tutorials to see how to use them properly.

thanks for your help.

If it's just intended for yourself, my approach would've been using ClipGet, and StringSplit, then you could just use ShellExecute on each element in the array StringSplit returns.

Something like this:

$Array = StringSplit(ClipGet(), @CRLF, 1)
For $i = 1 To $Array[0]
ShellExecute($Array[$i])
Next

Hehe, but ofcourse you could take it further by automating the links you visit with the _IE UDFs instead of using ShellExecute..
