Simon,

you could do this with AS, but it might be just as easily accomplished from FMPro. just make a calculation field that combines your URL with the other cell's contents, then send that over to AS, like this:

in FMP:
create a global field called zx.myUrlPrefix.g (or whatever), and enter your URL prefix into that field: http://www3.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov:80/htbin-
post/Entrez/query?form=6&db=n&Dopt=g&uid=

create a text field called myUrlSuffix (or whatever), and enter the URL suffix.

create a calculation field that concatenates the two: zw.myUrlComplete.cc, calculation would be: [zx.myUrlPrefix.g & myUrlSuffix]


in AS:
execute your getURL on the value of the field zw.myUrlComplete.cc


hope this helps!

Hi,

I have a script (made with the help of the List):

set pURL to {"http://www3.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov:80/htbin-
post/Entrez/query?form=6&db=n&Dopt=g&uid="}
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
copy cell "Genomic Accession #" of current record of document "EP screen" to fred
getURL ((pURL as string) & (fred as string))
end tell

which takes the contents of a FMP cell appends it to the URL which is then opened in my Browser of choice. I would now like to do something similar but with just a selection of a cell's contents. Does someone know how to copy some text and append it to a URL?

Thanks,

Simon
