Script to automate URL opening in multiple tabs in Firefox or Opera from a text file

I have a text file with lots of links-each line has a link (i.e the separator is '\n'). i want to write a script so that each link opens in a different tab in Firefox or Internet explorer. How can I do this? I'm on Windows 7

Solution

  • Create a text file called whatever.bat and put it on your desktop. edit the file and enter:

    set "fileList="
FOR /F "usebackq delims==" %%i IN ("C:\Documents and Settings\mdevine\Desktop\urls.txt") DO call set "fileList=%%fileList%% %%i"
start firefox %fileList%

    close and save

    double click on it
