Weird alphanumeric instead of space.

[panosdk]

I am trying to do a simple google search from my application. The code does this

Code: Select all

  put "https://www.google.gr/search?q=" into GQueryString 
   put the text of field "tb_query" into query
   put GqueryString & query into query
launch url query

The problem is that when my query has spaces(for example "red apple", i get a "2F850" instead of a space. This alphanumeric changes every time i run livecode. I guess it has something to do with encoding? When i print the the two strings together in a msgbox, i get the space character as expected.

Use urlencode.

Code: Select all

  put "https://www.google.gr/search?q=" into GQueryString 
   put the text of field "tb_query" into query
   put GqueryString & urlencode(query) into query
launch url query
