Try xclip. It saves a paste if you have your URL already in the clipboard.
URL="$(xclip -o)"
if [ "x$URL" = "x" ]; then
echo "You must enter a url."
exit 1
fi

Hi misc@,
i face a problem with zenity (from ports). I use it to read a string via a
nice graphical popup (in my case, the url to a youtube video, which then gets
opened in fullscreen mplayer).
Gnome is installed on my machine, although i don't use it very often. Anyway,
zenity has a few dependencies on gnome (see http://ports.su/x11/gnome/zenity),
and when i'm logged in to gnome, zenity starts within a second.
Now, i seldomly use gnome, but dwm instead (a simple tiling manager). Also, i
start dwm directly with a 'xinit' from the terminal, while i use gdm for
gnome.
From dwm, zenity takes ~7 seconds (!) to start. The whole system is installed
on a ssd (samsung 830) for that matter. Even worse, the startup time stays
like that, whenever i (re)start zenity, so everything the system had to load
seems to be gone immediately after the program exits.
Suggestion: ditch zenity and use yad (ports/x11/yad) instead...
my 2 cents,
David
Thanks, i just tried yad, but it needs ~7 sec to start as well (from the command
line), so no improvement :(
