EncodeURLComponent

Description

Encodes the unsafe characters of a URL.

result = EncodeURLComponent(str)

Part	Type	Description
result	String	The encoded string.
str	String	The string to be encoded.

Notes

A valid URL consists of alphanumerics, special characters and some reserved characters. Use EncodeURLComponent to convert any unsafe characters so they can be properly used in a URL.

The reverse operation is done by DecodeURLComponent.

Sample code

Var s As String
s = EncodeURLComponent("www.bob&jane.com")
' s is "www.bob%26jane.com"
