Topic: Lisp e BROSWER command

[Lupo76]

Hello to all,
I have a problem with AutoCAD 2011 (and some or all later versions).
While in BricsCAD V16 it is working properly.

The function (command "_.broswer" link), truncates the link after 132 characters.

I encountered this problem in some of my clients pc.
Now I can reproduce it in Win7 (32 bit) + AutoCAD2011 (32-bit).

isit AutoCAD limit?
Is there another way to open a link in the default broswer?

You could shorten your link like so.

I'd limit the amount of characters.

132 is a decently standard maximum character length.

Perfect! thanks!
This is the solution that I preferred:

Code: [Select]

(defun openbrowser (path / exe)
  (if (and
        (setq exe (vl-registry-read "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\.htm" ""))
        (setq exe (vl-registry-read (strcat "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\" exe "\\shell\\open\\command" "")))
        (wcmatch exe "\"*\"*")
        (setq exe (substr exe 2 (1- (vl-string-search "\"" exe 1))))
        (setq exe (findfile exe))
      )
     (startapp exe path)
   )
)

I hope it will work for several years ....
