Add URLEncode as a function :D

This one drove me nuts... I was getting HTTP 400 errors, and 10054 Errors. I thought it was the web server.

No. It's the inclusion of a SPACE character within a GET URL instead of %20. I've gone ahead and used the StringReplace> command, but if HTMLEncode could just do it, that would save people having to remember.

Decoding doesn't get convert it back either.

I have passed this on.

Hi,

HTMLEncode/Decode encode and decode HTML, not URLs.

%20 is the URL encoding for a space character. + is also sometimes used.

But in HTML, space is just space. So these functions are working correctly. They are not for encoding/decoding URLs.

Here's a way you can do that:

I see, HTMLEncode vs. URLEncode.

I've been doing StringReplace>source,SPACE,%20,result and that seems to work.

That's what I do too.

Note to self and others....

Just use the "UnEscape" to replace ALL those URL escaped characters.

Code: Select all

Let>JSON_STRING=%22change%22:%22produktion-article-info-hyllplats%3E%3E%3EK1%3C%3C%3C%22,%22value%22:%22K112%22,%22job%22:%2247433-2%22,%22article%22:%22212-160-12000%22
VBEval>UnEscape("%JSON_STRING%"),JSON_STRING
//JSON_STRING="change":"produktion-article-info-hyllplats>>>K1<<<","value":"K112","job":"47433-2","article":"212-160-12000"

And the other way around is this:

Code: Select all

Let>JSON_STRING="change":"produktion-article-info-hyllplats>>>K1<<<","value":"K112","job":"47433-2","article":"212-160-12000"
VBEval>Escape("%JSON_STRING%"),JSON_STRING
//JSON_STRING=%22change%22:%22produktion-article-info-hyllplats%3E%3E%3EK1%3C%3C%3C%22,%22value%22:%22K112%22,%22job%22:%2247433-2%22,%22article%22:%22212-160-12000%22
