Re: htmlText not supporting target in ?

You'd have to code a method to do what you want using linkclicked. When a text link in a field is clicked it fires a linkclicked message with one parameter that contains the link text. If you want to place the contents of the url into a different field, something like this in the field handler.

Strange. So, this sequence doesn't work? If you do this.. get url urldecode("file:/Users/jimHurley/Library/Mail%20Downloads/elec_web/precincts/241.htm)") put the result && it (on windows this works for me: get url urldecode("file:/Users/Mike/Desktop/test%20me/steering.txt"); put it && the

Re: Get url "file:///..."

I think urlDecode() should convert the %20 to a space. I don't think it would do more to the path you mentioned. You can check whether 'the result' is something other than "can't open file". You might try saving the attachment to another location and getting it from there. You might try

Thanks for all the suggestions. So far no luck with any. No combination of back slashes work, and urlDecode() simply returns the file name. Sarfari opens the file with no difficulty. Apparently Sarfari does something that LiveCode's "get Url" doesn't. Jim > Dar Scott wrote: > > Yeah,

Yeah, checking 'the result' sounds like a good idea. I don't have a problem with ///, though, on my macOS (as we say instead of OS X these days). Maybe that part depends on the OS. I have a feeling that we might be missing the core of the problem. > On Jun 20, 2016, at 6:39 PM, Mike

Ah. A combination of both. get url urldecode(" file:/Users/jimhurley/ Library/Mail%20Downloads/elec_web/precincts/241.htm") Still need to get rid of the extra //. If you check the result on fail it'll probably say "can't open file". You'll need to urldecode to set the folder too if you decide

Try changing it to this: file:/Users/jimhurley/ Library/Mail%20Downloads/elec_web/precincts/241.htm Alternatively, you can probably use a browser widget and set the url to file:///Users/jimhurley/Library/Mail%20Downloads/elec_web/precincts/241.htm then get the htmltext of the browser widget,

Yes, that’s true no doubt. But I think part of the reason it hasn’t been a confusion is because I start out by defining what an “object” is (it could just as well be a doohickey), then asserting that control doohickies are a subset of all doohickies, and then sticking with the same terminology
