newbie first post, Variable within URL string

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1 
set secondarylocation to 3333

property target_URL : "http://www.yahoo.com" & secondarylocation

open location target_URL

Hello,
I need to make a script that can insert a variable into a URL, so that I can generate a script for loading several variations of a single website. The variable will be anything, such as “/houses” or “/234232”

If I run the script with the variable “secondarylocation” within quotation marks it loads “http://www.yahoo.comsecondarylocation” expectedly. The problem is without the quotes it tells me that secondarylocation is not defined, despite it being set in the first line of the script.

Once I get that done, I will have to be able to insert text into dialog boxes on the webpage. I was thinking GUI scripting for that, but it seems rather rigorous. Any ideas?

Thanks, sorry if I messed up the applescript loading thing.

Try this instead (properties should come first)

property secondarylocation : missing value
property target_URL : "http://www.yahoo.com" & secondarylocation

set secondarylocation to "/3333"
open location target_URL
