Hey Matti, you might want to roll a string conversion function of your own. The Replace function might be of particular use to you.
You can read about it over here http://www.gambasdoc.org/help/lang/replace and you can also find all the other string related functions over here http://www.gambasdoc.org/help/cat/string if for example you want to replace all the spaces in your string with %20 you would call 'String array that will hold the characters you want to replace Dim tmpChar as NEW String[] Dim iterator as Integer Dim sFilename as String 'the value of your sFilename sFilename = "/home/username/Meine Bilder/öffentliche Fotos übertragen/015 das Schönste.jpg" 'Add the characters you want to replace tmpChar.Add("ö") tmpChar.Add("ü") 'Loop through the array and replace the string characters that correspond to the array characters 'with their hexadecimal values precedded by a % sign FOR iterator = 0 to tmpChar.Count -1 'set the string equal to the resulting string from the Replace$ Function sFilename = Replace$( sFilename,tmpChar[iterator],"%" & Hex$(Asc(tmpChar[iterator]))) NEXT 'to show you the finished string PRINT sFilename so you could also just make a small array with all the characters you want to change and then do a sequence of Replace$ calls replacing them with I hope these guidelines help you more (and confuse you less) Regards Dimitris On Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 1:14 PM, Matti <math.e...@t-online.de> wrote: > Well, after some thoughts, I can answer myself. > > I tried this example: > > sFilename = "/home/username/Meine Bilder/öffentliche Fotos übertragen/015 > das Schönste.jpg" > i = 1 > WHILE i < Len(sFilename) > sChar = Mid$(sFilename, i, 1) > IF Asc(sChar) > 122 THEN > sFilename = Left$(sFilename, i - 1) & "%" & Hex$(Asc(sChar)) & > Right$(sFilename, Len(sFilename) - i) > ELSE IF sChar = " " THEN > sFilename = Replace$(sFilename, " ", "%20") > ENDIF > i = i + 1 > WEND > sOut = "file://" & sFilename > PRINT sOut > > and it seems to work ok and reasonably fast. > But if you have better ideas, you're welcome! > > > > Matti schrieb: > > Hi, > > > > I'm looking for a string conversion function for URIs. > > It should work like CGI.Encode, but > > - don't transform slashes "/" > > - transform spaces " " not to "+" but to "%20". > > > > Couldn't find anything in Gambas.
