Get Chrome to open pages from a list in .txt
April 22, 2010 05:39 AM
Hi guys.
I was just curious, is it possible for you to save a bunch of url's in a text file and then get Chrome to somehow read that file, and open the pages based on the links in a new tab per link?

If you're using Windows, you can easily achieve this using WSH. Save the following into a file somewhere with a .js extension then drag and drop the text file onto it.
It'll open the links in whatever your default browser is.
if (WScript.Arguments.length != 1) { WScript.Echo('No file specified.'); WScript.Quit(1);}var wsh = WScript.CreateObject('WScript.Shell');var fso = WScript.CreateObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject');var file = fso.OpenTextFile(WScript.Arguments(0));while(!file.AtEndOfStream) { var url = file.ReadLine(); if (url) wsh.Run(url);}file.Close();It'll open the links in whatever your default browser is.

Alternatively, most browsers allow you to pass more than one url on the command line.
You could do this the same way benryves suggested except by creating a single line like:
chrome "url1" "url2" "url3"
or you could use batch to do exactly what benryves suggsted too:

FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ('myurls.txt') DO ( START Chrome %%A )This topic is closed to new replies.
