URLEncode

URLEncode (inputStr)​

The URLEncode function returns a percent-encoded copy of inputStr.

Percent-encoding is useful when encoding the query part of a URL or when the URL contains special characters that might otherwise be misinterpreted by a web server. For an explanation of percent-encoding, see Percent Encoding.

Example​

String baseURL = "http://google.com"
String key1 = "key1"
String value1 = URLEncode("35% larger")
String theURL = ""
sprintf theURL, "%s?%s=%s", baseURL, key1, value1
Print theURL
  http://google.com?key1=35%25%20larger
