You probably want:

open "`echo $TM_FILEPATH | sed "s|.*/$USER/Desktop/(.*)|http:// localhost/~$USER/desktop/\1|"`"

Which makes a file path of e.g. /Users/duff/Desktop/test.html into http://localhost/~duff/desktop/test.html

You can also use the shells ability to chop off a prefix ($HOME points to your home folder), e.g.: open "http://localhost/~%24USER%24%7BTM_FILEPATH#%24HOME%7D"

If you do spell Desktop in different case (lowercase for the URL): open "http://localhost/~%24USER/desktop%24%7BTM_FILEPATH#%24HOME/Desktop%7D"

Btw: instead of opening the URL, you can also set the commands output to HTML and then let it redirect to the URL, so you'll view the page inside TextMate: echo "<meta http-equiv='Refresh' content='0;URL=http://localhost/~ $USER${TM_FILEPATH#$HOME}'>"

I recently blogged about both shell variable substitutions and HTML output capabilities: http://macromates.com/blog/archives/2005/09/28/html-output-for- commands/ http://macromates.com/blog/archives/2005/09/26/shell-variables/

but it doesn't work

Please, there is a solution?

Salvo, not the most obvious place to look, but have you looked at the HTML -> Preview in Safari command ? In there it says the following:

### CONFIG OPTION:: Set the TM_PROJECT_SITEURL in your TM Project Window Info Button in the following form: ### [ http://your.site.ext/ ]

So if you set your TM_PROJECT_SITEURL variable there, the preview in should work through the browser and localhost.

Long time since I created it and actually used it, but should work afaik ;)

Kind regards,

Mats
