Hi

I have these text entries that I wish to use in a url:
line1
line2
body

I wish to encode so that line1 and line2 appear in body on separate lines. eg with cr + line feed

so I use the encodeuricomponent.

body:=encodeURIComponent(line1+'%0D%0A'+line2);

It does not work as expected. I guess I am using it incorrectly !

Whats the correct way to use this ?

Many thanks

Kamran

Kamran,

Yes, you're doing the work of the function, so you're ending up with double-encoding. Just use this:

body:=encodeURIComponent(line1+#13+#10+line2);

wouldn't that be

body := encodeURIComponent(line1) + #13#10 + encodeURIComponent(line2);

(might have to adjust to #13 + #10, can't remember)
