Hi Group, I want to insert a variable hyper reference into a pdf document. The following method does not work for some reason. \def\hyperref{http://www.website http://www.website/.com/abc/def} show \hyperref Gives the correct answer but \useURL[this_doc][\hyperref][][displayed text] \from[this_doc] Gives hyperef%20 as the url What am I doing wrong? TIA — Nigel nigel@nigelking.me.uk m:07917 803879 h:01364 642265 Abbey Moor, Moreleigh, Totnes, TQ9 7JW.

or \expanded{\useURL[this_doc][\hyperref][][displayed text]} if that is truly impossible for some reason. Best wishes, Taco

Taco,
Thanks very much - I had necessarily simplified the example to show my simplest problem.
\expanded suits my purpose perfectly.
