All, I have a doubt and I hope it can be answer here.

I would like to write a script that allows me to launch a browser when I clicked on a URL that is on my email. I would like to Automate this, such as when i clicked on the URL :

1. It will launch my default browser
2. It will automatic enter URL into the address field in the browser
3. It will load to the URL page that i have selected.
4. Lastly i am trying to do this on a remote desktop.

Anyone think is this feasible to do so?

Thank You All.

Which email? Which browser?

#1,2,3 are standard/commonplace for most email programs.
Check the configuration settings.

Not sure about #4.

Hi Leef_me,

Email is just a example. Because i would like to select on a URL on my current system that isn't connect to the internet. The URL can be in a doc/textfile/application/email. And this will help me to launch IE/Firefox on my remote system is connected to the internet.

so is it possible to insert the URL using AutoHotKey into the browser field? and to launch to the URL page?

My suggestion:
- setup a hotkey that selects a line of text and copy to clipboard either via send {home}{shift down}{end}{shift up}^c or perhaps mouse double/tripple click
- extract the URL from the copied line (search forum for regexmatch urls, links)
- run url

Try somethings, post code if you get stuck.

Hello Leef_me

Hi Leef_me

Thanks for the reply (:
Yah i did some test as well. The x3 single click will interfere with normal operation of Lbutton.

I am looking for various ideas to implement this, so i am looking at the mouse as well. Hmm..i tired including the following codes that help me to auto highlight and copy when the middle button is clicked.

Mbutton::
click 2
send ^c
address =%clipboard%

Thanks for the link (: i will read it up and see if i could implement it using the x3 Rubutton

Thank you so much
