Parsing properties in Link- and Internet Shortcut files

I am on Windows 10 (but answer will apply to MacOS as well).

I am trying to read the URL property of a file that I create simply
dragging-dropping the Internet address from my browser to the Desktop and
then storing this file. There are thousands now!!!

Some of such files are readable text files with the readable content
"[internetshortcut], URL: xxx etc." -- but most Internet shortcut files on
Windows with the invisible .url or .ink extension are empty when trying to
read with using a text editor or opening them in LiveCode.

In such Windows file's there is a property url:<link> that contains the web
address. It is visible when opening using the right mouse button (context
menu) and then selecting the "properties" item. When double-clicking such
file, the default browser will open and open the web page directed to.

But I want to read this URL property as text directly and use it from
within LiveCode.

I assume that these Internet shortcuts store the URL information not in the
file itself, or I just cannot get to this information.

I found one batch file script that promises such a solution. Such batch
text file can be called through the SHELL() command and will then execute.
It has the file extension ".bat".

#-- START BATCH SCRIPT
echo off
setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
pushd %1
for %%F in (%1\*.url) do (
echo %%~dpnxF
call :findurl "%%~dpnxF"
)
popd
goto end
:findurl inputfile
set url=
for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%i in ('findstr URL %1') do set url=%%i
echo %url%
echo -----
:end
#-- END BATCH SCRIPT

Unfortunately, my knowledge of such batch scripts is very limited.

I get error messages when calling the batch file through the shell
function. Maybe there is someone here who can interpret this script? To me
it would be sufficient to simply call shell("location of the file and file
name of the url-file .. shell commands") and receive back the URL property
as text. Or is there any other way to get to this information?

Since LC is cross-platform, such solution also would be nice to have for
OSX and Linux?

Re: Parsing properties in Link- and Internet Shortcut files

On macOS URL link files are stored as a plist-file like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>URL</key>
<string>https://lessons.livecode.com/</string>
</dict>
</plist>

So you can open the file as text and then parse the content.

Re: Parsing properties in Link- and Internet Shortcut files

In reply to this post by Mark Wieder via use-livecode

I tried here to find an "empty" .url file, but w/o success. My .url files i have collected over the years on my Windows VM are all textfiles. If you could provide a link to such an empty one, i would be really interested to see that.

Regarding the .lnk files, which seem to be in a binary form, did you already see this discussion here?
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/397125/reading-the-target-of-a-lnk-file-in-python

Someone posted a Python script there which is able to read the target of an .lnk file.
May be that is an alternative.

Re: Parsing properties in Link- and Internet Shortcut files

In reply to this post by Mark Wieder via use-livecode

Dear Hakan

Thank you very much for this information. As you may have noticed, I had
solved the problem using the Batch file the same day I posted the question
for Windows.

For Mac, I had no idea and your input is highly appreciated. For Linux I
also do not know.

Actually, these special files on Windows (with the hidden ".url" extension)
are usually fine to read simply using URL("binfile:" & tFilePath ). My
problem has be with a number of files that returned empty for unknown
reasons.

It is a more difficult to parse "shortcut" or ".lnk" files in Windows since
they have a binary format and to extract relevant information requires
knowing the detailed file structure and reading relevant bytes or trying a
hack to extract the readable links they represent without (which I did so
far). Also for these files, Windows hides the extension ".lnk", but it is
visible when calling files (tFolderpath) in LiveCode.

Happy weekend
Roland

@ Hagan
@ Matthias

I posted my hack on the forum also mentioning our discussion here:

https://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=35458

Of course, if some one has clean solution to actually read Window's binary
".lnk" file, it would be another lesson to enjoy. Unfortunately, I cannot
do it now because of time constraints. But the solution works (for me).

Re: Parsing properties in Link- and Internet Shortcut files

Hi Matthias,

I ran into your send email stack with TSNet
yesterday while looking for a solution to
some of my livecode email problems.
After filling in the test fields to send a message
and hitting the send button, it told me the
message was sent, but upon checking my
email it was clear that it never got sent.

I know you put that stack together in 2017
so some things have changed since then
including macOS.

Have you tested the stack recently at all
and do you know if it still works?

If so, the other possibility is that I have
somehow not filled in one of the fields properly.
Could you supply a better example using
gmail smtp settings or something similar,
or update the documentation?

Thanks,

Rick

Re: Parsing properties in Link- and Internet Shortcut files

In reply to this post by Mark Wieder via use-livecode

Rick,

do you mean the stack lcMailAndFtp.livecode?

The original stack was created by Charles Warwick, the developer of the tsNet externals.
If i remember correctly, i added the FTP part or so and put that modified stack as lcMailAndFtp.livecode online.

You could look here for a newer version (1.2) of Charles mail sample stack.
https://www.techstrategies.com.au/tsnet-resources/

Although the version 1.2 of the mail stack is more current then the one from my site, it still is a little bit "outdated".
There is a new command in LC available called mimeEncodeAsMIMEEmail which would make some of the code in the sample stack obsolete if it would be used. But the sample stack from Techstrategies should still work.

If you still have problems you can contact me also directly at matthias (at) m-r-d.de

Regards,

Matthias

Hi Matthias,

Yes, I meant lcMailAndFtp.livecode.

I’m looking at https://www.techstrategies.com.au/tsnet-resources/ <https://www.techstrategies.com.au/tsnet-resources/> now.

I’ll get back to you later after absorbing what I can understand.

Thanks!

Version 1.2 of the mail stack

In reply to this post by Mark Wieder via use-livecode

Hi Matthias,

I tried it out and the stack works fine.

Now I am in the process of trying to convert it
so I can use the process directly in my LC Server.

Of course field values now become variable values.

Everything seems fine except:

put mimeEncodeFieldAsMIMEMultipartDocument(the long id of field "email_message") into tBody

How do I get he long id of my VariableEmailMessage into tBody?

Ideas?

Rick

Mark Wieder via use-livecode

Re: Version 1.2 of the mail stack

Hi Rick,

if i recall it correctly i used the templatefield for that in LC server.

So set the text of the templatefield and then use that in the mimeEncodeFieldAsMIMEMultipartDocument.

e.g.
put "test" into the templatefield
put mimeEncodeFieldAsMIMEMultipartDocument(the long id of the templatefield) into tBody

LC Server does not include the Mime library, so you'll need to copy the complete Mime library script to your web server and include it in your script.

It's late here and i am off for some sleep now. So do not wonder when i reply later.

Re: Version 1.2 of the mail stack

Hi Matthias,

Sorry, but I have never needed to mess with libraries before this.

Where do I get the complete Mime library script?

I tried looking in the Project Browser for version
1.2 of the mail stack but all I could see was
com.livecode.library.mime and tsNetLibUrl
for choices. When I open either I get a blank
window and when I try to look for script in
the stack or card it shows me nothing.

Is there a LiveCode lesson on this anywhere?

Thanks,

Rick

Hi Matthais,

It’s been so long since I have used the project browser
I forgot that one has to click on the number of lines
of code to see the actual code. LOL

Ok, so which one do I want?

Hi Matthias,

Ok, I only see mimeEncodeFieldAsMIMEMultipartDocument in
com.livecode.library.mime and not in the TsNetLibUrl, so I
guess that answers that question.

If I’m incorrect somehow, please let me know.

I would copy the complete file mime.livecodescript to the server.
The file can be found in the Extensions folder either in the app bundle (macOS) or the Livecode program folder under program files (Windows).

In your script use 'start using...." to use the library
e.g.
start using "mime.livecodescript"

put "test" into the templatefield
put mimeEncodeFieldAsMIMEMultipartDocument(the long id of the templatefield) into tBody

Regarding tsNet:
I am at HostM and i am using LivecodeServer Business in my accounts.
HostM has LivecodeServer Community installed by default for every account.
But if a customer can proof the purchase/subscription of an Indy or Business License, they even install the Indy or Business version of Livecode Server for the that customer accounts.

In the past it was mandatory to run tsInit first in the Livecode Server script to initialize tsNET.

Matthias

Re: Version 1.2 of the mail stack

Hi Matthias,

I managed to find mime.livecodescript.

What folder do I need to put it into on my macOS Catalina LC Server?

Thanks,

Rick

Re: Version 1.2 of the mail stack

When i did test it some time ago, i've put it in the same folder where the livecode server script that used the library was located.

Re: Version 1.2 of the mail stack

In reply to this post by Mark Wieder via use-livecode

Hi Matthias,

I put mime.livecodescript into the folder with the script that call it.

I put in the start using “mime.livecodescript” statement.

When I run the script, I now get:

Function: error in function handler (tsNetSmtpSync)

which is pointing to:

put tsNetSmtpSync(tURL, tFrom, tRecipient, tEmailMessage, tResponseHeaders, tBytes, tSettings) into tResult

I do not see this function in mime.livecodescript so where does tsNetSmtpSync hang out?

Is that a part of " it was mandatory to run tsInit first in the Livecode Server script to initialize tsNET”?

Where is that and how do I run it? Another start using command?

Thanks,

Rick

Re: Version 1.2 of the mail stack

it seems tsNet is missing in your installation of Livecode Server.

Please create a folder externals in the folder where livecode server is installed.
Then copy the tsNet external from you Livecode Desktop installation into the newly created externals folder.

That should do.

Re: Version 1.2 of the mail stack

Hi Matthias,

What I’m seeing is:

Applications
LiveCode (App)
(Right Click)Show Package Contents
Contents
Tools
Ext
tsNet_INDY_1.4.2 (Folder Full of tsNet stuff)

Do I want the entire folder?

Do I just want:

tsNet.bundle
tsNet.dylib
tsnetliburl.livecodescript

There’s a lot of items.

Thanks,

Rick
