windows script help needed
 
I need to encode some text in order to use it within a url.

for instance space characters need to be encoded as %20 etc.

I was tying to use the character substitution in an environment variable

for instance

SET STRING=%1%
SET STRING=%STRING: =%20% (How to I escape the % in the %20)
echo %STRING%

Where the argument to the script would be the text to encode " delimited, ie. "encode this string" where I would expect the output to be "encode%20this%20string"

Otherwise I am going to have to write a bit of C just to do this noddy requirement.

unfortunately that is javascript. What I am attempting to do is format arguments that I will pass to a wget command. So they have to look as if a browser etc has already encoded them

I'm guessing it's not just spaces your trying to encode as %20

If it is, does this little batch file help?

@echo off
echo %1%%20%2%%20%3

run it as test.bat test1 test2 test3
and the output is
test1%20test2%20test3

Probably a bit basic, and not sure how you would make it work for different length strings though ....

i assume that you are using the linux "wget" port, you could with a perl script do below.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

sub URLenc{
$urlstr = $_[0];
$urlstr =~ s/([^A-Za-z0-9])/sprintf("%%%02X", ord($1))/seg;
return $urlstr;
}

print URLenc(shift);
just realised that if you are using wget then if you put the url in """" etc then it automaticly does the convert for you,
Code:
wget "http://server/file to get.html"
