ok i now have play.pl: /start code use Net::Telnet (); my $f; my $result;
$f = $ARGV[0]; $t = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => 10); $t->open(Host => "localhost", Port => 9090); $t->print("00:04:20:06:3b:85 playlist play ". $f); $result = $t->getline; $t->print("exit"); print $result; /end of code This works: perl play.pl "Eric%20Clapton" This doesn't: perl play.pl "Eric Clapton" Is there a function to change $f to from "Eric Clapton" to "Eric%20Clapton"? Thanks for all the help!
