Open URLs in different browsers

Code: Select all
global AssocArray := {}
Array := []
Loop, Read, links.txt
Array.Push(StrSplit(A_LoopReadLine, ";"))
for index, element in Array {
Browser := Func("Launch").Bind("chrome.exe --options ", "firefox.exe -options ")
Menu, MyMenu, Add, % element.2, % Browser
AssocArray[element.2] := element.3
}
Menu, MyMenu, Show
Launch(BrowserPC1, BrowserPC2, ItemName, ItemPos) {
Browser := A_ComputerName = PC1 ? %BrowserPC1% : %BrowserPC2%
Run, % Browser AssocArray[ItemName]
return
}
How can I use a different browser in
Launch depending on whether I am using
PC1 or
PC2, and depending on the browsers that I specify for different menus (which is why I have not simply specified them in
Launch)?

You can use A_ComputerName and also an array or subarray that maps the menu name to the browser.

Like this?

Yes, but you need not take my word for it. Give it a go!
An array is not required, as you have shown through use of a conditional statement instead.
I saw a handy guide recently: "If a script achieves your goal, it is a solution." --lexikos

I got the script working by removing the %s from %BrowserPC1% : %BrowserPC2%; however, I cannot figure out why BrowserPC2 is launched when I am on PC1 (which is defined separately).

Menu, MyMenu, Show
Launch(BrowserPC1, BrowserPC2, ItemName, ItemPos) {
Browser := A_ComputerName = PC1 ? BrowserPC1 : BrowserPC2
Run, % Browser AssocArray[ItemName]
return
}
AFAICS, this should launch Chrome on
PC1, since its order corresponds with
BrowserPC1.

I had missed global for PC1.
