How to open all hyperlinks in a document

Post by Matze »

Hi

I have got loads of links in one document, divided by \n. How can I open these all at once, so that my browser shows them in tabs (Omniweb, Firefox, Safari)

Thanks for any hint, Matze

One way to do this is to export the document as HTML and then open the exported document in Firefox and use the extension Multi Links:

I think the following macro will do the job. Whether links will be opened in new tabs or in new windows depends on your preferences settings in the browser.

Code: Select all

 ## Open All Links in the Current Document

# Links will be opened by the default web browser

$doc = Document.active
if $doc == undefined
	exit 'No document is open, exiting...'
end
Select Document Start
While Select Next Link
	Open URL $doc.selectedSubtext.attributesAtIndex(0).link
	Document.setActive $doc
end

### end of macro ###
Oup! I seem to have misunderstood what you mean. Are links plain text? If so, please try this one.

Code: Select all

 $doc = Document.active
if $doc == undefined
	exit 'No document is open, exiting...'
end
Select Document Start
While Find Next 'https?://\S+', 'E-W'
	Open URL $doc.selectedSubstring
	Document.setActive $doc
end

Dear Kino,

please forgive my late reply - I completley forgot, that I have started this topic and only rememberd it, when I needed to open a few hyperlinks again.
The macro works fine and it is a blessing in connection with Omniweb, because now I can create OW-workspaces from link-collections I grabbed from the web.

Best regards and many thanks, Matze

Hamid, this seems to be handy, but I can not install it on my mac.
Klicking on the link downloads a .xpi-file. Doubleclicking on this file directs me to the AppStore. ???

Use Firefox to go to that site. Then, instead of the 'Download Now' button you will get '+ Add to Firefox' button. Click that button, and he add-on will be installed automatically to Firefox.

You can also install the add-on from within Firefox by using the Tools:Add-ons menu (⌘⇧A).
Then tab to Get Add-ons.
In the Search toolbar at the top right, enter 'Multi Links' or go straight to this link:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... lti-links/

to get the '+ Add to Firefox' button.
