 |
|
I'm sure this is a simple answer.
I have a variable which is being stored through an input box that contains an "#" symbol. I'm then using this variable to send this and it freaks out.
| Code: |
InputBox, user, Enter User, Please enter your username
if ErrorLevel
ExitApp
SendInput, http://www.samplewebsite.com/%user%/directory.asp
return
|
It's almost like it interprets the "#" as a windows-key keystroke instead of the correct symbol. |

That's exactly what # represents.
Read more about the Send command.

I figured out that {Raw} would work in the situation i posted. But in my context I would like to create a new variable and use it in conjunction with UrlDownloadToFile.
| Code: |
InputBox, user, Enter User, Please enter your username
if ErrorLevel
ExitApp
CheckHere = http://www.samplewebsite.com/%user%/directory.asp
SaveHere = C:\Source.txt
UrlDownloadToFile, %CheckHere%, %SaveHere%

There is no problem embedding the # character in a variable. There is a problem using it in a url. Short fix: replace the "#" char with "%23".
Reference: Percent-encoding and UrlEscape Function
Additionally, there are several functions posted in the forums that will automatically check/encode an url. Search for URL ENCODE. |
