I would like to do something along the lines of this old post - http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=10546
But when trying to compile, I get the error Expected end of line, etc. but found “”" from this line:
set theCode to do shell script “curl -A “” & theBrowser & “” “http://www.google.com/search?q=” & theSearchTerm & “””
With the second " of A “” being highlighted?
I’d like to take how that post pulled in the text with it coming from a file that the user selects and then passes it to firefox browser opening each line in new tab and then being able to record results
Here’s what I have working so far:
In my txt file i have lines like - http://www.google.com/#hl=en&gs_nf=1&cp=9&gs_id=83&xhr=t&q=macscripter
set locations to paragraphs of (read (choose file with prompt "Pick text file containing urls"))
tell application "Firefox"
activate
repeat with a in locations
do shell script "open -a Firefox" & space & quoted form of a
end repeat
end tell
Thanks
