<![CDATA[How to pass parameters on Mac?]]>Hi Russ, I saw your youtube video how you pass parameters with a batch file on Windows.
You used the following script.

      start https://google.com/search?q=%1

I want to do the same for Mac but I am stuck with the parameter part in Applescript

     on run {location, parameters}
tell application "Google Chrome" to activate
open location "https://www.google.com/search?q={param1}"
     end run

Can you help me out?

I forget to tell people to change the permissions on bash scripts to make them executable.

Now it works beautifully!

This goes to the .sh file? > open "https://google.com/search?q=$1"
What do I enter in the TriggerCMD GUI Command Editor?
Sorry, I am a total noob when it comes to bash, I only know applescript. 😞

russ@russmac ~ % cat google.sh 
open "https://google.com/search?q=$1"

That's a bash script. If you want me to figure out how to do it with apple script let me know.

In a bash script, $1 is the first parameter.
