Open URL from Script

Hello,

I have a QVW where I need to execute a command to open a URL by script (for example, www.google.com).

But I couldn't do it so far.

Do you know how could I do that?

Thank you!

Hi,

I've tried it with:

execute cmd.exe start google.com

But it doesn't work and it works when I open cmd and execute start google.com manually...

Yes, what I get is that the CMD prompt opens when I run the script but it stays with the C:> and the cursor blinking
