How to put a variable in a URL?

[magzmedia 6]

If I have a url eg http://www.twitter.com/ and I want to include a variable from a list how do I do it?

 

eg. http://www.twitter.com/variable1

http://www.twitter.com/variable2 etc

 

Any help appreciated

Thanks Alcr...but the problem I have is that I have a list of twitter users in a text file and I simply want to append http://www.twitter.com/ to the beginning of the line. For example in the text file at the moment I have:

 

user1

user2

user3

and so on...

 

but I want to have:

http://www.twitter.com/user1

http://www.twitter.com/user2

http://www.twitter.com/user3

 

I assume that there is a way using add to list where I can append the data?

 

See what I mean?

 

Many thanks Rob

Ahh, now I see your problem.

 

Yeah just write www.twitter.com/{1} where {1} is a subparameter which says $next list item

Thanks alcr,

 

Now as soon as the trojan problem is sorted out. I'll be very happy indeed.

To add to this question, is it possible to append a random string of characters to input data? In other words, If my bot creates accounts at social bookmarking sites, etc, I would have the user input a desired username. To ensure the username is unique, could I have the bot append, say, a random 5 character string to the end of the username prior to submitting it? Thanks.

The easy way would be to use the create account $password system parameter. And put that on the end. Or even easier if you don't mind the random string being all numbers then use the $rand function to generate a number between 10000 and 99999 (if you want it 5 characters long).

Thank you Andy! So if I had a "Desired Username" UI text box I would insert the variable, for example, #username$rand? (I understand what you're saying, I'm just not sure how i would "construct" it). Thanks again

[alcr 135]

set #variable {1}{2} where 1 points at $username and 2 at $rand

 

And then use the variable

Very cool, thank you!

[JohnB 255]

set #variable {1}{2} where 1 points at $username and 2 at $rand

 

And then use the variable

 

Ok, that worked perfectly, Now is it possible to add the username (with its appended digits) to a list and save it to a file for future use? I keep trying but can only get the username without the random numbers saved. Thanks.

add to list and in the content field {1} where the 1 points at #variable
