This part actually needs two slashes:

http:\www


Working code below:

#ALIAS google {#url http:\\www.google.com\search%char( 63)hl=en%char( 38)ie=UTF-8%char( 38)oe=UTF-8%char( 38)q=%replace( %-1, " ", "+")%char( 38)EandD=EyDy%char( 38)}

IE will convert those \ to /, even http:\ is converted to http://, but for compatibility, i'd use /
Also #URL does not work on my machine as i dont use IE, so DDE might be better for some:

Code:

#ALIAS google {#DDE IExplore WWW_OpenURL (http://www.google.com/search?q=%replace( %-1, " ", "+"))}


replace IExplore with your browsers DDE "Application" name
and www_OpenURL with it's "Topic"

also,
Code:

%char( 63)hl=en%char( 38)ie=UTF-8%char( 38)oe=UTF-8%char( 38)EandD=EyDy

is un-needed especially if you have googles cookie and preferences set.

For IE it would be:

Code:

#ALIAS google {#DDE IExplore WWW_OpenURL (http://thesaurus.reference.com/search?q=%replace( %-1, " ", "+"))}


Not a user of firefox, but "Mozilla" (i.e. firefox) is:

Code:

#ALIAS google {#DDE Mozilla WWW_OpenURL (http://thesaurus.reference.com/search?q=%replace( %-1, " ", "+"))}


if that fails, you might try:

Code:

#ALIAS google {#DDE Firefox WWW_OpenURL (http://thesaurus.reference.com/search?q=%replace( %-1, " ", "+"))}


past that, im clueless....

I just tried #URL since I use Firefox as my primary browser and it had no issues opening a webpage.

Is there any way to port the info from these aliases back into zMud?

What I'm thinking of is the following website: http://www.infoplease.com/dayinhistory.

Ideally, whenever someone logs in, I'd like zMud to navigate to this site, grab the 7 or 8 entries that appear there, drop them into a stringlist, randomly select one, then display it to the MUD.

Just a cute little idea.

-Merc-

*Edit: I didn't realize this was on the Finished Scripts forum. Going to paste it to the General board
