Get Web Page URL

[asa32sd23]

I know there is a GET IP address which will return (ei) 126.52.1.1

 

what i need is to get the URL (ei) http://pgmacros.invisionzone.com/index.php?app=forums&module

into a variable once a webpage opens.

 

how is this accomplished?

 

thanks

You can use Macro Express to read the URL from the address field in the browser. Something like this should work:

Text Type: <ALTD>d<ALTU>  // move to the address field in the browser
Delay 0.1 Seconds  // wait a moment to let the browser catch up
Text Type: <CTRLD>c<CTRLU>  // copy URL to the clipboard

Thanks

 

I looked at the Clipboard Functions, I didnt see where I can place the TEXT (URL) that was copied via a keyboard command into a Variable.

 

 

I am trying to do a logic statement IF %URL% = www.sampleURL.com then do this else do this

Text Type: <CTRLD>c<CTRLU>  // copy URL to the clipboard

 

Hi Kevin,

 

I use <ALTD> and <ALTU> only when <ALT> does not work, which it almost always does. And when I am forced to use the up and down versions, the key sometimes get stuck in the down position.

 

Are there guidelines on when to use plain modifiers, and when to use the up and down versions? In other words, are there advantages (and drawbacks) of <ALTD>, <ALTU>, <CTRLD>, and <CTRLU> compared to <ALT> and <CONTROL>?

Depending upon your browser, you can also try:

1)Text Type: <CTRLD>F6<CTRLU> // move to the address field in the browser

2)Delay 0.1 Seconds // wait a moment to let the browser catch up

3)Text Type: <CTRLD>c<CTRLU> // copy URL to the clipboard

4)Delay 0.1 Seconds // wait a moment

5)Text Type: (F6) // to unhighlight the URL...

6)Delay 0.1 Seconds // wait a moment

7)Variable Set String %T1% from Clipboard //Save To String Variable

Some programs work with either <Alt>d or <ALTD>d<ALTU> while others do not. When one doesn't work try the other. For me, <ALTD>d<ALTU> seems to work best. Your mileage may vary.
