Pass URL to Internet Explorer from text
Pass URL to Internet Explorer from text
(OP)
I am need to pass a URL that is in a block of text to Internet Explorer and bring up that window. The url is not recognized by DEC vt420 emulatior as anything more than text. I see in the previous post how to initiate IE, which i have successfully done, but with a hardcoded address. I am brand new to Attachmate, MyExtra-v7.0 and would appreciate any help.
thanks
thanks

set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
ie.visible = true
' // You can set sURL to anything, this just finds the first char of the address on the screen,
' // and takes the string for a specified length (which should be the length of the URL)
sURL = Sess0.getString(addressCol, addressRow, lengthOfAddress)
ie.Navigate(sURL)
