Opening URL generated in script.

Question

I'm a novice and could use a bit of help.I'm trying to generate a script that will capture the default gateway of the network I'm connected to and then open it in a browser. I've managed to get the IP of the default gateway but every time I try to open it it errors out. Here is the script:
+Set DefGate to do shell script "netstat -nr | grep '^default' | awk '{print $2}'"+
+Tell application "Firefox"+
activate
+get url DefGate+
+end tell+
can anyone shed some light on why this isn't working?

Try using:
open location "http://" & (do shell script "netstat -nr | grep '^default' | awk '{print $2}'")
