Re: [EXTERNAL] how to open google maps from Green Screen

The equivalent for Mac (and I suspect Linux) is "open". As with Windows "start" the default app for the type is used to open the "file".

I agree with the others though who have said that the correct approach is to use the hotspot capability on the green screen - that way the link will open on any device of any type including phones and tablets.

Hi Birgitta,
We too use the 'start' command to open a URL link in the browser.
Unless you already know it, I just want to point out that 'start' is a
Windows command to open any file with the appropriate default program
according to its extension. So, if the file's extension is txt then it will
open inside Notepad (or similar), if it's .doc it will open inside Word,
etc..
Being 'start' a Windows command this solution works only on Windows
computer, not on Mac or Linux, for which I haven't found a strategy yet.
Hope it helps

That didn't come through correctly.

Try again...

Subject: [EXTERNAL] how to open google maps from Green Screen

Hi,

can someone help me out?

My customer wants to open from a Green Screen Program Google maps for a
specific address.
Building the URL for opening google maps is not the problem, ... but how
to open it from a green screen.

I know there are the CL commands STRPCO and STRPCCMD, but how must the
command look like, so I can open a website?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Birgitta Hauser
