Is there a function or simple way to URL-encode a string? I'd like to parameterize the MR Domain folder and use it to construct a URL:

mydomain = domain/domain.htm

url-encoded = domain%2fdomain%2ehtm

Is CTRAN the only way to do this?


Thanks.

I would use STRREP for this.

However, the example you gave is bad. The / and . do not need to be encoded in this circumstance as they are being used for their reserved purpose. You have to differentiate between a reserved character doing it's job and one that should be encoded.

This link has a good explanation.

Do you want to perform the URL Encoding in the fex on the server or in JavaScript in the browser?

Alan, thanks. I was just following the example of the WF HTML editor, which URL-encodes the domain folder in the hidden input tags. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised since WF html code is anything but standards-compliant.

SomeUsr, the idea was that WF would do the encoding b/c I'm trying to parameterize the domain being used: one for development, one for production. That way I'd have the same code on both platforms. I know how javascript works...that would have been another option, though less desirable.


Thanks.
