Good day everyone,

Just trying out the NetSurf browser for the first time. Timberwolf never ever ever works for me, but that's another thread...

I like the idea of the NetSurfAddressBook plugin so that Hotlist entries are more readily available, and I followed all the instructions for the installer, but I get an error when I try to run the Rexx script from the browser.

This is the script as it exist in StartAddressBook.nsrx:
Quote:

BEGIN
/* This script launches the NetSurf AddressBook and QuickLinks */

if open('env','ENVARC:AppPaths/NetSurf','R') then do
path = readln('env')
close('env')
end

program=NetSurfAddressBook/AddressBook

address command path || program
END

This is the error I receive from console when I attempt to run:
Quote:

+++ Error 47 in line 8: Arithmetic conversion error

I assume it has something to do with the program variable, but I'm not sure exactly how this should be designated. I tried removing the program variable and entering the full path of the executable, but I get an error there as well:

My attempt at a modification which isn't any better:
Quote:

/* program = NetSurfAddressBook/AddressBook */

address command path || Programs:Web/NetSurf/NetSurfAddressBook/AddressBook

Error:
Quote:

+++ Error 41 in line 12: Invalid expression

Anyone got any ideas how I can get this bad boy to work?

[B]THANKS![/B]

I was able to get the Rexx script to properly execute by modifying to:
Quote:

/* This script launches the NetSurf AddressBook and QuickLinks */

if open('env','ENVARC:AppPaths/NetSurf/','R') then do
path = readln('env')
close('env')
end

program='/NetSurfAddressBook/AddressBook'

address command path || program

Working! Looks like the script just needed designation that the program variable was a string as opposed to math.
