launch url "file:/..." with a var [Solved]

[atout66]

Hi to all,

Could you tell me how to use the <launch url> command with a var inside ?
I didn't find any example in the dictionnary...
The script below does nothing because I use a global var <gLePathFolder> to give the main path.

Code: Select all

global gLePathFolder -- this path folder is correct for sure, and the file <Aide.pdf> is in there !
on mouseUp
     launch url "file:/gLePathFolder/Aide.pdf"
end mouseUp

I also tried with some <&> before and after like that:

Code: Select all

launch url "file:/&gLePathFolder&/Aide.pdf"

without success.

Thanks in advance for your help,
Regards, Jean-Paul.

Try

launch url ("file:" & gLePathFolder)

or

launch url ("file:" & gLePathFolder & "/yourFile.pdf")

in case your pdf is not already within your global var

Hey, you've got it

I did this from your second example:

Code: Select all

launch url ("file:/"&gLePathFolder&"/Aide.pdf")

and it's OK.

Thanks for your help Tlaloc
