Paste URL from clipboard text?

@Julianon

PeterPanino, you asked for suggestions (and thanks to you and Leo for the buttons).

1. I have adapted Leo's button so that I can enter a chosen filename before pasting. I added the initial line:
   @Set TheFilename={DlgString|Enter the filename (without extension):}
   and then twice changing "Clipboard URL.url" to "{$TheFilename}.url" lower down.

Your .exe programme could allow a similar tactic if it had an optional second parameter for the filename without extension. Then my same initial line could be used, for example, with the command:
<path>\PasteTextOrURL.exe {s} {$TheFilename}

The second parameter should be optional, with the present filename as default, because many people would prefer to rename the file afterwards.

If your programme ends up handling ever more file types, a further optional parameter for the extension could be useful.

Have you considered using the inline rename to change the name after the file has been created? Personally I would rather use the inline rename than a dialog. You could have Leo's above script enter inline rename for the file after it has been created like so.

@runmode hide
echo.[InternetShortcut]>"Clipboard URL.url"
echo.URL={clip}>>"Clipboard URL.url"
Select "Clipboard URL.url" EXACT MAKEVISIBLE
rename inline

Aside, Getting SELECT to set the focus seemed impossible. It was not until I came across this post how to select a newly created file? that I realised its was possible via MAKEVISIBLE.
