Re: I have a list of URLs, I need to print the pages
Hi, guys...I have a list, currently in Excel, of about 230 URLS. I need to
print the web pages and going one by one is a drag. Anyone have any ideas?
I got ideas, but you were probably hoping for something useful. ;-)
Didn't you go through this before?
How about a Foreach Loop? Nothing I can see looks pretty, as far coding goes, for Excel, so I would ask a programmer to help with a script to pipe each URL to a browser print command of some sort. If you cannot find a programmer to help with your script, then look online for "Foreach Loop."
You will likely need to have a single text column for your URLs that is set off for whatever scripting language you wind up using.
Here is one link to a sample batch file that will probably work for you, but you will need to find the syntax for your print command.

Once you write your script and save it as a batch file, you can repeat this process in a matter of seconds, once you have a text file of your URLs.
BTW, do remember to test your batch file with only a few URLs, first. Just in case it gets broken, y'know.
Here is a VBScript option that is less ugly than what I saw for an Excel macro, but your best option is a batch file.
