Hi there,
I'm just getting started with applescript.
I want to open a new tab in chrome, and browse to the url that is in clipboard.
I have tried this:
tell application "Google Chrome"
set the clipboard tomyVar
set myTab to make new tab at end of tabs of window 1
set URL of myTab to myVar
end tell
but alas no joy, can anyone help me out please?
Thanks in advance,
Nick
If the URL’s already in the clipboard:
tell application "Google Chrome"
set myTab to make new tab at end of tabs of window 1
set URL of myTab to the clipboard
end tell
If it’s put into myVar elsewhere in the script:
tell application "Google Chrome"
set myTab to make new tab at end of tabs of window 1
set URL of myTab to myVar
end tell
If it matters, your original code got myVar and the clipboard in the wrong places:
tell application "Google Chrome"
set myVar to the clipboard
set myTab to make new tab at end of tabs of window 1
set URL of myTab to myVar
end tell
