no replace substring function?

I’m guessing either I’m missing something, or I need to somehow cook this up from scratch? Just want to replace spaces in a query with “+” or “,”

Ah, I see, roRegex, huh? This should be in the String functions section maybe insted of it’s own section?

Yeah; I was in the middle of writing my own str_replace() function when I hit across that. I was stunned that such a basic tool was absent. Quite happy to find I was wrong. :wink:

For querystring replacements, you can use the Escape/Unescape methods of the roUrlTransfer object:

Function UrlEncode( query As String ) As String
    http = CreateObject( "roUrlTransfer" )
    Return http.Escape( query )
End Function

Function UrlDecode( query As String ) As String
    http = CreateObject( "roUrlTransfer" )
    Return http.Unescape( query )
End Function
