openurl(PATH)

PATH can be a file/folder url or a website or even empty to open blank page in a browser.

  • use raw string for file/folder path ie: openurl(r"c:\dev\folder")
  • url for a website should start with http or https
  • compile with -d:droid to have support for android activity,in termux no need to do that as unix open is supported.

    example

    import openurl, figures
    
    when isMainModule:
    echo """
    _                   _

    if paramCount() > 0:
      echo "$1 Open: $2" % [figures.play, prepare paramStr(1)]
      openUrl(paramStr(1))
    else:
      echo "$1 No Url input, a blank page will open." % [figures.cross]
      openUrl()
