Hi Fm users. We are trying to automate a bunch of activities which also includes adding hypertext (Go to URL) by taking a part of URL of the hypertext from the source word itself.. For example: xyz has to have a hyperlink which contains https://"Common code" xyz. We are looking for a method in FM scripting which can actually take the arguments dynamically. Is anybody aware of it? please let us know! Thanks

It is not clear to me what you are trying to do. If you would like to meet offlist via my GoToMeeting account, I will be glad to look at what you are trying to do. Thanks. -Rick rick at frameexpert dot com

Hi frameexpert,

Thanks a lot for the reply. What we are trying to do is to automate the process of providing hyperlinks to selected number of rows in a table. We are just stuck as to which method and what arguments to be used to provide the same. Any guesses as to few methods and the type of arguments to be given also would do. We will experiment with them.

Your help is much appreciated. Thanks.

rhp,

Like Rick, I did not understand your first post. I'm still not sure that I understand. My guess is this... you want to insert Hypertext markers with a "message URL" command, and you want the URL to be generated based on text in the document. Is that close at all? If so, I have to warn you that this would require advanced scripting skills. It would mean a certain measure of text analysis and manipulation that is not for the beginner. I'm not saying you can't do it... just that a "few methods" and "experimentation" may not get you there.
