Passing a list of URLs from Applescript to Display Webpages in Tabs Action

Hi All,
I have an Applescript to generate a bunch of URLs and I would like to pass them to the Display Webpages in Tabs action. The script is generating the URLs correctly but I can't seem to get them into the action successfully. Does anybody know how to get output from the script passed to subsequent Automator actions?
Thanks,
Nigel

Try using the "get content from textedit" action. More specifically, use your Applescript to dump the urls into a textedit doc and then use the "get contents..." action to feed the "get specified urls" action.

  • Open URL from Excel or Word in individual tabs - Automator??

    Okay so here is what I am trying to achieve -
    I have to open a series of URLs which have 2 values that change within the URL daily. I am looking for a way to automate the process of opening. these URLs
    I already have an excel format with the updating URLs so they automatically will generate the correct URL for that day, but when I click the hyperlink it will take at least 5 seconds to load them, and it will only open the last once click. So if I click 5 in a row, the 5th will be the only one to open.
    I've searched for ways to have Safari open each in a serate tab and Safari and Excel just don't seem to play well in that manner. I have also looked into ways to have automator take the cells and open them, but I am unable to find a way to get the URLs from the clipboard into Safari.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as this task takes me nearly 30 minutes daily due to the amount of URLs when it should be something that is easily automated.

    You didn't mention which version(s) of Word and Excel were used to create the documents, or which version(s) you're using/trying to use on your Mac.
    If it's (Windows) Office 2003 or earlier, Microsoft released a metadata management tool that might help you understand, and perhaps edit some of the metadata there now. The tool is available for (free in the US, at least) download here --> http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA011400341033.aspx
    It is possible that 'read-only' status was set in some version of the file (perhaps copied to a CD at some point?), and remains set to 'read-only'. One fix is to open it (in Windows) and clear the read-only status. Windows discussion here --> http://ask-leo.com/whycant_i_open_thisfile.html
    Another possibility is to try opening the documents with a different program (OpenOffice, iWorks Pages, iWorks Numbers) that can open and read many versions of Word and Excel files.
    In my experience with earlier versions of OpenOffice, I've had problems with formatting changing (e.g. text document fonts and formats) when I've opened documents with OpenOffice and then attempted to re-save them in Word (doc or docx) format. I don't recall using OpenOffice with Excel files. I'm not currently using OpenOffice, so I can't say whether the problem was fixed or not.

  • Open URL from Java in a new browser tab

    Hi OTN,
    Surprisingly can't find the implimintation.
    In an ADF managed bean I retrieve String url. I need to open a new browser tab with this url.
    Found this thread Open a url in a new window in the backing bean which shows using javascript "service.addScript(facesContext, "window.open(http://www.google.coml)");".
    But in my case in doesn't work. The code is executed, but nothing happens. Maybe because the bean is called from a taskflow inline popup.
    ADF 11.1.1.4
    Thanks.

    Well, I'm afraid that is not an option.
    The goButton is in a table row. There are lots of rows so if I use EL for Destination attribute the URL would be retrieved for each of rows.
    The method of URL retreiving is heavyweight operation which includes calling plsql functions, working with strings and others. So if I do it for each table row my application hungs and then I receive an exception of CPU usage.
    That's why I switched to normal commandButton witch actionListener which retrieves url on click - only once. So I need to open URL from Java.

  • Passing a list of items from APEX to a Bi Publisher report

    I currently have Bi Publisher report that is parameter driven based on items selected from an APEX application. Currently, the user select one value for the parameter and the value is passed in the URL string and the report produces as expected. Now the user wants to be able to select items from a checkbox list and the items checked are the values to be passed. Has anyone ever dealt with this type of request and if yes, could you please point me in the right direction. I search the forum and I couldn't find any topics that dealt with my situation.

  • Passing parameter list to Report  from form

    Hi all
    How can I assign values that are written in a form, and haven't save to the database, into variables?
    The form layout style is tabular, and it has two fields: parameter_name and parameter_value.
    I want to assign the value the user wrote in the filed parameter_value for each row.
    thanks

    Hi,
    if you built the tabular layout in a control block, then you can loop thorugh it using next_record; built-in. The value to read this is
    variable_name := controlblock.parameter_name;
    variable_value := controlblock.parameter_value;

    this is what i have now :

    This site doesn't like to display the &lt;&gt; inequality operator. Always use the other (equivalent) inequality operator, !-, when posting here.

    Let me know what modifications have to be done for this the variable to get the name from table 1 and find the manager level from table 2 and populate it back in table 1.Whenever you have a problem, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements) and the results you want from that data (in this case, the contents of table1 after everything is finished).
    See the forum FAQ {message:id=9360002}Sorry did not realize the missing !. Yes the union will always return one record for each manager name passed. I have tested the select part which hard coding the manager name and it does update the level number correctly. but i am struggling with passing a large list of values as a variable.
    This is the output i am looking for in the direct manager report table is :
    Manager Name | Manager Level Number
    ABC Manager Level 0
    XYZ Manager Level 1
    This is the structure of the manager hierarchy:
    Manager Level 0 Manager Level 1 Manager Level 2...Manager Level 14
    ABC ABC ABC ABC
    ABC XYZ XYZ XYZ
    Let me try the below but hopefully i am more clear on the requirement now.

  • Passing Parameters in a URL

    Hi,
    Does anybody know how/if it's possible to pass parameters into a URL from LOV/comboboxes/tick-boxes etc...
    I know this is possible through External Applications for the username and password, but what if the user wants to select multiple departments of a given report?
    The idea being, that we are going to be passing parameters into Sales Analyser to fire off a specific report with given values.
    These values are restricted, depending on which user you are and your level of access to the portal. This URL will then be used to open an SA report with the details required.
    Thanks, Matt.

    Hi,
    You will have to encode your parameter value. The problem is because of the spaces in the value. Whenever there any special
    characters in the value it should be encoded.
    example
    select '<area shape="rect" coords="335,66,528,83" href="http://townland:7778/pls/portal30/PORTAL30.RPT_SUMKWH.show_parms?meter='||
    <portal_schema>.wwutl_htf.url_encode('PMS 11BBA01')||'">pams</a>' url
    from meters
    The above is just an example. Please change the names to suit your requirements.
    Thanks,

  • Passing Hidden varable in URL

    Hi,
    I am trying to pass hidden variable as URL parameter.
    Please could someone correct me what is wrong here as I always get null value though there is a value in folderId:
    <input type=hidden id="folderId" value='<c:out value="${bean.folderId}"/>'/>
    //passing hidden variable in URL:
    <form method="POST" name="frmWorkFlow" id="frmWorkFlow" action="../../jsp/actions/workFlow.do?folderId=${folderId}">Thanks

    Which do you want to do?
    As a hidden field on the page and submit the form (which will then pass it as a parameter)
    Or building it up on the URL - where you don't need the hidden field at all.
    Personally I prefer using a hidden field.
    A form only submits the input fields nested within it.
    Solution: Put your <input type="hidden"> between the <form> </form> tags.
    Oh, and the reason its not working right now is that ${folderId} is null where ${bean.folderId} probably isn't.
    EL variables can not access the hidden field values directly - they're for use on the client end only.

  • Passing variables from Applescript to bash

    Hello,
    I'm trying to pass variables from Applescript to bash using the following code

    EOF
    echo "USERNAME is $USERNAME, MACNAME is $MACNAME"
    but no luck
    Mac-mini:Downloads admin$./new.command
    USERNAME is , MACNAME is
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I just realized you are returning 2 variables.  That can still be handled by echoing/printing the values, you just have to parse the output, or use other tricks.
    VALUES=( $(osascript -e '...') )
    This would make VALUES an array, with each array element containing one space separate return value from osascript
    USERNAME=${VALUES[0]}
    MACNAME=${VALUES[1]}
    If USERNAME or MACNAME could have spaces in them, you would need to use some kind of separator character.  For example if you use @ as the separator you could do something like:
    VALUES=$(osascript -e '...')
    USERNAME=${VALUES%@*}
    MACNAME=${VALUES#*@}
    which will %@* will delete everything starting with the @ til the end of the string, and #*@ will delete everything from the beginning of the upto and including the @.
    Another trick is to have the return values be properly formed shell variable assignments such as
    print "USERNAME='your user name' MACNAME='Your Mac Name' " -- I'm making this up as I do not really know Applescript, so you will have to figure out how to get Applescript to print something that looks like
    USERNAME='your user name' MACNAME='Your Mac Name'
    In your shell script you have code that looks like:
    VALUES=$(osascript -e '...')
    eval $VALUES
    The eval will execute whatever is stored in $VALUES, and if that happens to look exactly like shell variable assignments, you get the variables created in the current shell context, where can use them.

  • Pass entire list of XY graph properties from Main vi to Subvi XY Graph

    Hello Everyone,
    I have an XY graph in my main vi that allows users to review data.  They have control over how they want to display the data on this graph(scale,color,line style, etc).  I have a subvi that excepts and array of XY graph plots (multi-plot) and prints the graph as the user has set it up.  As of right now I am passing only certain properties from the main XY graph to the subvi XY graph using property nodes.  Using this method only the important items are being passed (scale, flipped, xy scale name label) mainly because I have been to lazy to sit down and make a cluster containing all the property values.  I have to beleive that there is a way for me to pass a reference from the main XY graph to the subvi XY graph that will set all the properties in the Subvi graph to the same settings that the Main XY graph has.
    Thank you in advance,
    Steve

    Passing a reference to the subvi seems to be half of the solution that I am looking for.  This allows me full access to all propertys of the main graph.  The problem is that once I am inside the subvi I still have to select what properties I want to pass to the subvi graph. (see attached image).  My goal is to pass the reference to the subvi and then have every property of the main graph be assinged to every property of the subvi graph.  This way no matter what the user changes on the main graph (line style, width, color, scales, precision, etc) the subvi graph will reflect this.  With the method displayed in the image I have to manually select the properties that I think will most likely be edited.  And if I miss one the user will not get an exact match of the main graph.  I am hoping there is a way to do this, if not then I will just have to sit down and pass all the property values from the reference to the subvi graph but this seems like the hard way of doing it.
