Madhur, StarBASIC has the function GETGUITYPE that returns a value for the OS.
The OOo API has the struct com.sun.star.util.URL that can be used with the object com.sun.star.util.URLTransformer to get parts of one URL (see code): '----------------------------------------------------- Sub exemploURL Dim umURL As New com.sun.star.util.URL umURL.Complete = "http://www.sitio.com.br:2006/docs/manual.html#cap1"; oURLT = CreateUnoService("com.sun.star.util.URLTransformer") ' parse oURLT.parseStrict(umURL) ' get fields msg = "Mark....: " & umURL.Mark & Chr$(10) & _ "Name....: " & umURL.Name & Chr$(10) & _ "Path....: " & umURL.Path & Chr$(10) & _ "Port....: " & umURL.Port & Chr$(10) & _ "Server..: " & umURL.Server & Chr$(10) & _ "Protocol: " & umURL.Protocol & Chr$(10) msgBox msg, 176, "Exemplo de campos de URL:" msgBox umURL.Main, 176, "Campo Main de URL:" End Sub '--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HTH -- Noelson 2010/3/23 Madhur Kashyap <[email protected]> > Mathias and Irne > > Thanks for your responses.
