Resolved Opening Url.

[Carlo H. Francisco]

Hello guys,

I just want to know what is the syntax where you can open a URL in google chrome once you trigger an object.

Any replies are so much appreciated.

 

[RealHeavyDude]

On which operating system?

On Windows something like this should do:

C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe "yourUrl"

You might have to adjust the invokation for different OS and/or different Windows versions.

Heavy Regards, RealHeavyDude.

Thanks for that reply RealHeavyDude.

anyway should i put run in front of that syntax?. or just put that in the trigger block?

 

[RealHeavyDude]

You need os-command.
