editing a url that contains '%'

[RAK]

I have been trying to edit a url that may contain a percent character. %20, %3, %2 are the ones I am working with. I tried a few things and no luck - string functions err and I cannot replace them so far.

thanks

Not sure what you mean by editing a URL.
If u are trying to open the url, that try placing the URL into a variable and then write code around the variable

Take a look at the WinInet Extender function iUrlDecode. It takes a string in URL encoded format and converts it to plain text.

Code (winbatch) Select Expand

AddExtender("WWINT44I.DLL",0,"WWINT64I.DLL")
sEncoded = 'Burgers%%26Fries%%20at%%2050%%%%20off!!!??!!!'  ;Escaped using double percent signs (for WinBatch)
sPlain = iUrlDecode (sEncoded)
Message ('iUrlDecode', 'Encoded string: ': sEncoded: @CRLF: 'Plain string:': sPlain)
