[vwnc] URI from the file names problem
 
|
Hello All,
I came across interesting problem We store bunch of help files in the HTTP directory with the root file which can lookup the appropriate HTML documents like the following: file:///D:/Vw76/help/getting_started_csh.htm#24 file:///D:/Vw76/help/getting_started_csh.htm#NewGradation When I put this line into the address box of Internet explorer, or Chrome - it does open the starting file and then does appropriate redirect. When I try to use that same line From the VW via link:= "file:///D:/Vw76/help/getting_started_csh.htm#NewGradation" OSSystemSupport concreteClass new ShellExecute: nil with: 'open' with: link with: nil with: nil with: 1 The initial page give me an error that it can not find the topic. Apparently the hash symbol either being stripped by the ShellExecute Does anybody have any Idea how to work around this ? _______________________________________________ vwnc mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/vwnc |

There's the class ExternalWebBrowser which might be more
immediately useful. And I don't have the 'open' command under Windows.
But you might try URL-encoding the # and see if that makes a difference.

I was using same approach as in the ExternalWebBrowser.
privateOpenBrowserOn: link OSSystemSupport concreteClass new ShellExecute: nil with: 'open' with: link with: nil with: nil with: 1 I am not sure: either Win32 shell does not like the "| " -- pipe symbol of hash "#", or maybe it does not pass those parameters at all while opening the file. IT works like a charm when opening files on the web like http://server/file.html Alan Knight wrote: > There's the class ExternalWebBrowser which might be more immediately > useful.

That's not going to work: running a URL as a command in Windows doesn't
support the # bookmarks - it's a Windows limitation, not a VW problem.
