How to open a link with a macro?
Is it possible to search for a word or string in a link and then, once found, open the link with a macro, i.e. without having to click on it with the mouse?
Re: How to open a link with a macro?
The basic approach will be something like this:
Note however that Find will only search the display text for the term, not the link itself. If you wanted to search for words in the links, you'd probably have to write something more complicated.
Code: Select all
$term = 'Link'
$doc = Document.active
$found = $doc.text.find $term
if $found
$link = $doc.text.linkAtIndex $found.location
$link.activate $doc
else
prompt 'Sorry. No links with term "' & $term & '" found'
end
