Test condition of Open URL script command

[webber]

I am building a runtime solution so would prefer not to use a third party plugin due to increased cost. I want to have a list of URL's that Filemaker goes out and checks (on open) and passes the value (TRUE,FALSE). Design is to test whether the links are live or dead.

 

Does anyone know if this can be done with native FMPro7Dev?

 

Thanks

I don't think so. all you've got is the OpenURL command which merely passes a string to your default browser and then moves on. It does not wait for any error signals such as 404 not found or a browser specific error message (at least I didn't find any such possible messages in the error codes list in the helper file).

Possibly you could build an Applescript to perform this action.
