Hi

This maybe a simple question but not sure of the best way to do it.

I have a variable - for example say it contains "Mr John Smith"
I need to change this variable to = "Mr%20John%20Smith"
So basicially finding a space and replacing it with %20

Can anyone suggest the best way to do this ?

Dave, I believe something like this might help you out for a starting point:

//
// Will search for a spaces in a string and replace it with %20/
// Coded by Robert Wolfe <robert.wolfe@winserver.org>
//

#include "util.wch"
#include "cmdline.wch"

if (GetNode() = 0) then
LoginSystem()
end if

dim string1 as string = "Mr. John Doe, Sr."
dim string2 as string = ""
dim char as string = ""
dim index as integer = 0

for index = 1 to len(string1)
char = mid(string1, index, 1)
if char = " " then char = "%20"
string2 = string2 + char
next index

print "string1 = "; string1
print "string2 = "; string2

When run using 'wcrun.exe -r' the code yields the following:

string1 = Mr. John Doe, Sr.
string2 = Mr.%20John%20Doe,%20Sr.

As a sidenote, I always include the LoginSystem() routine in all of my
programs so that I am not forced to log into the BBS when I want to run the
WCX outside of the BBS. Hope this helps.

The same code converted into a function (with example usage in a full WCX) could be used as follows:

//
// Will search for a spaces in a string and replace it with %20/
// Coded by Robert Wolfe <robert.wolfe@winserver.org>
//

#include "util.wch"
#include "cmdline.wch"

if (GetNode() = 0) then
LoginSystem()
end if

dim string1 as string = "Mr. John Doe, Sr."

function string2 (string1 as string) as string
dim char as string = ""
dim index as integer = 0
dim temp as string = ""
for index = 1 to len(string1)
char = mid(string1, index, 1)
if char = " " then char = "%20"
temp = temp + char
next index
string2 = temp
end function

print "string1 = "; string1
print "string2 = " ; string2(string1)
