open iexplore.exe

[LoneReaper]

I want to be able to open internet explorer and have it open this page

http://trkcnfrm1.smi.usps.com/netdata-cgi/...trOrigTrackNum=

and at the very end of the "TrackNum=" i want to add the variable

$usps

how would i do that? i tried

$usps = ClipGet()

run("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe http://trkcnfrm1.smi.usps.com/netdata-cgi/...trOrigTrackNum= $usps")

but it doesnt enter the variable it enters the text

%20$usps

run("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe http://trkcnfrm1.smi.usps.com/netdata-cgi/...trOrigTrackNum=" & $usps)

You need to take the variable out of quotes
