---+ .CLIENT LOAD URL _This subroutine loads a URL, document or runs a command on the user's PC._ <br />%TOC% ---++ Usage: <pre> PASS <url> FIELD SHARE? Y GOSUB --- .CLIENT LOAD URL * Check for errors IF --- .CLIENT LOAD URL NE </pre> ---++ Description: This subroutine loads a URL, document or runs a command on the user's PC. The <url> parameter is required, if it is missing the subroutine will CANCEL. <url> is the URL or document to open, or the command to run on the user's PC. It can take several forms: * http://, https:, ftp://, mailto:, or any other valid web URL * The name of a file accessible to the user's PC. In this case, the client will rely on the desktop O/S to determine the correct program to use. For Macintosh clients, you will need to set the client desktop preference for commandShell to 'open'. For Linux clients, you also need to set -commandShell to some program that will examine the file type & call the appropriate program to open it. * A program on the user's PC. For Windows and Linux desktops, prefix the program name with an '@', ie, @notepad or @gedit. Remember that Linux desktops are case sensitive. You can pass additional arguments after the program name, ie, @notepad somefile.txt. For Macintosh clients, just pass the complete path to the program, ie, /Applications/Chess.app * A network path, such as \\<server_name\<share_name> for Windows desktops, or smb:////<server_name/<share_name> for Linux or Macintosh desktops. * The constant '$beep:'. This will make the client play a 'beep' sound. * The constant '$play:' followed by the file name of a 'wav' file, ie, $play:/Users/bsmith/Desktop/TestSnd.wav ---++ Comments: _Read what other users have said about this page or add your own comments._ <br />%COMMENT% -- Main.JeanNeron - 2012-02-01
