Yes, kind of...

the url command needs a complete string as an argument.

So the correct syntax would be:

put fld 1 into url "file:Your_complete/path_to_the/file.txt"

So the actual filepath and the "file:" have to be concenated first,
that's what the parenthesis are for.

(The & (ampersand) concatenates 2 strings.)

If you leave them, there will be an error.
