I'm just looking for a way to be able to enter 3 different variables a URL, a Number and a Platform.

I would then like the output to be URL&arcNumber%aPlatform

I tried making a few automator scripts and looking for a program or two but haven't been able to get it done right.
I would appreciate this being exported to the clipboard or a simple text edit window. I am using this to upload tracked URL's to my sites and it would be a lot easier with a script then copying and pasting on my own everytime.

If you want that to go to the clipboard:

Code: 
#!/bin/bash 
echo "enter a URL"
read URL
echo "ener a Number"
read Number
echo "enter a Platform"
read Platform
echo -n "$URL&arc$Number%a$Platform" | pbcopy

Or in AppleScript

Since you didn't specify a language, here's a way of doing it in AppleScript:

Code: 
set theURL to text returned of (display dialog "Enter a URL" default answer "")
set theNumber to text returned of (display dialog "Enter a number" default answer "")
set thePlatform to text returned of (display dialog "Enter a platform" default answer "")

set the clipboard to theURL & "&arc" & theNumber & "%a" & thePlatform
