Google your parameters

[Russ]

You can google your parameters with a batch file like this:

start https://www.google.com/search?q=%1%%20%2%%20%3%%20%4%%20%5%%20%6%%20%7

You need a double % because a batch file would interpret %20 as your second parameter plus 0. The double % tells it you want %20 which is the URL code for a space.

is this the same on Mac

@jmcgoverndesign, no that's a batch file which only works on a PC.

Macs use bash scripts instead.

This script should open Google in Safari:

#!/bin/bash
open -a Safari http://google.com

This script takes parameters, and should work similarly to the Windows batch file that googles your parameters:

#!/bin/bash
open -a Safari http://google.com/search?q=$1%20$2%20$3%20$4

I tested it that and it worked for me.

#!/bin/bash
busqueda=$@
google-chrome https://www.google.com/search?q=${busqueda// /+}
