open URL with a specific browsers with variable in the URL

[sauldraws]

Hi there;

 

My scripting skills are crap right now, attempting to do something that I believe, should be really simple

 

Trying to open a URL like

 

http://example.com/{Current-Year-As-A-Two-Digit-Number}/{Current-Month--As-A-Two-Digit-Number}/{Current-Day-As-A-Two-Digit-Number}/

 

in Google Chrome

 

I found this

open -a /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app http://example.com/

 

but I have no idea how to append the date stuff, any help you can provide - I'd greatly appreciate it

You can do it easily enough with any supported language and a Run Script action, passing the result to an Open URL Action.
 
With Python, for example, your Run Script would look something like: 
 

from datetime import datetime 
today = datetime.now() 
print(today.strftime('%y/%m/%d'))

 
And your Open URL Action would have:

http://www.example.com/{query}

as the URL.
