hi,  
I want to be able to change an url on a trigger with an external .txt file.

like this:

getURL(“url 1 FromTXT file”);  
getURL(“url 2 FromTXT file”);

* * *

In my TXT file:

url1= [http://www.apple.com](http://www.apple.com)  
url2 = [http://www.microsoft.com](http://www.microsoft.com)

* * *

Result  
getURL(“[http://www.apple.com](http://www.apple.com)”);  
getURL(“[http://www.microsoft.com](http://www.microsoft.com)”);

Some one know if I can do that and how?

Thank you  
Stephane
