Opening a URL

Help with setting up and configuring custom user tools in UltraEdit (based on command line input)

Opening a URL

Postby stannen » Wed May 14, 2008 10:01 am

Hi folks,

I have a quite a lot of files with URL's in them and it's really handy to be able to highlight the URL, right click it, and select "open" to open the URL in a browser. I would like to make it a little easier to do with either a toolbar button or a macro, but I can't seem to figure out how. There doesn't seem to be a toolbar button available in the toolbar configuration and I can't figure out how to do this with a macro. Can anyone help out on this?

Thanks in advance.

Create a user tool as explained in the power tip Integrate Yahoo!, Google, Wikipedia and more with UltraEdit. But instead of http://www.google.com/search?q=%sel% specify only %sel% on the command line right to "Name of the EXE of your preferred browser with full path". You can then add this user tool to your toolbar and assign a hotkey to it.
