You can also use shellscripting and do something like this: #!/bin/sh read input token=$(printf "%s" "$input" | cut -b 1-2) stuff=$(printf "%s" "$input" | cut -b 3-) url="$input" engine="" if [ "$token" = "g " ]; then engine="https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=%s" elif [ "$token" = "y " ]; then engine="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%s&aq=f" elif [ "$token" = "w " ]; then engine="http://wikipedia.org/wiki/%s" fi if [ ! "$engine" = "" ]; then url=$(printf "$engine" "$stuff") fi printf "Url is: |%s|\n" "$url" Kind regards (and happy new year), Hiltjo
