Hi All,

I have a general script with a line to send search requests to Google. The code is:

Code:
; Google Search Box
^Delete::
InputBox, varInput, Google Search,
,, 540, 180,,,, 90,
if ErrorLevel = 0 ; OK or Enter
{
   if varInput <> ; if input not empty
            Run, http://www.google.ca/search?q=%varInput% ; execute the command
      }
Return


When I send a search request including quotation marks with more than one word, the scripts breaks--nothing happens, and there is no error code.

So, sending (without brackets) <test test test> works fine. Sending <test test "test"> works fine. But sending <test "test test"> does nothing at all. Can anyone explain how I can fix this?

Thanks!

Spaces are treated different in urls. They invlove %'s and stuff.

I don't know exactly off the top of my head, but its lke %a20% or something, you have probably seen them 1000 times and never even noticed. Google it :)

Thanks, that explains the problem.

I'm not a programmer, so I don't know how to write the code that replaces spaces between quotation marks in my query with %20. Can someone please show me how that's done?

Thanks for this. I've tried it and it does replace the spaces with the %20, but it has a bug.

If I search for (minus brackets) < test "search one" >, it searches Google for < "test search one" >. Can you fix this by any chance?

yes , this replace your input " with `%22
Code:
transform,S,chr,32    ;space
InputBox, LAC1, Google Search,,, 540, 180,,,, 90,
stringreplace,LAC1,LAC1,%S%,`%20,all    ;-- replace space
stringreplace,LAC1,LAC1,`",`%22,all     ;-- replace bracket
URL1=http://www.google.com/search?complete=1&hl=en&num=100&q=%LAC1%
if LAC1<>
 Run,%URL1%
Return


EDIT corrected

That has solved the quotation marks issue, but now there is this problem:

Searching for < test "test test" > works correctly, but searching for < test > does nothing at all. It seems the query is only recognized when there are quotation marks.
