How to modify URL before passing it to an external application?

Open limaceous-bushwhacker opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Title. I'd like to strip off some parameters before forwarding the [HREF] to the external application.

I ended up relegating the text manipulation part to coreutils. After combing through some of the issues in this repository, this is what I put together:

Exectuable name: sh
Arguments: -c '<program> $(echo "[HREF]" | <sed or whatever>)'

Leaving this issue open in case this can be done within the addon instead of using shell.
