How To URL Encode a String

Classic Servoy
1

Is there a built-in function for url encoding a string anywhere in Servoy? Thought I may have found it bundled up with the HTTP plugin, but does not seem to be there.

Please advise

Hi Jeff,

You can use the javascript escape() function for this.

application.output(escape("http://www.domain.com/path/to/filename with a space.html?param1=value 1"));

==> http%3A//www.domain.com/path/to/filename%20with%20a%20space.html%3Fparam1%3Dvalue%201

To reverse use unescape().

Hope this helps.
