Hi, i made a script that allows you to grab links beginning with "http://" from your contact's details (name and psm). The script will then open a browser or let you choose which link you want to open if there is 2 or more links.

Just type !link in your contact's chat window, and it will open immediately a browser with the link he got in his contact details.


It seems that some users have issues with the script. Could you test it and report any error ?

Thanks a lot :)

MsgPlus! Live has a built in feature allowing you to open links in names/psms by right clicking the contact and finding it in the Plus! tools...

indeed there is something like that, but it is available only through the contact window.

With WLM you have to open the contact window and copy it from the Personal Message. With Plus!, you can right click the contact, go to Messenger Plus! features, and find the link in Open Internet Link.

It works fine for me, tweaked the regex's a little bit, but like it very much :D

EDIT:

code:
!link :  /^\!link(\s+|$)/
name: /(\s+|^)((https?|ftp):\/\/\S+)/ig
psm:   /(\s+|^)((https?|ftp):\/\/\S+)/ig

That's great if people find it useful, thank you ^^

I agree.. With your script, I can no longer copy and paste the link, or right click the contact, go to Messenger Plus! features, and find the link in Open Internet Link.
Sweet and simple! (y)
