Let's say I have a .txt file in the sample folder as shown in the path below:

C:\Users\Documents\sample\link.txt

Inside the link.txt, it has an URL to a website:

https://www.sample.com

Now, I'm looking for a way to open this URL in the .txt file using the PowerShell command. Ideally, I can open the URL with Chrome using a command like:

PS C:\Users> chrome C:\Users\Documents\sample\link.txt

Is there a way to do something like this?

CodePudding user response：

You can use Get-Content Cmdlet to read the file contents and [System.Diagnostics.Process]::Start API to start the Chrome application.

So to answer your question you can do,

Get-Content urls.txt | ForEach-Object { 
   [System.Diagnostics.Process]::Start("chrome", $_) 
}
