%20 (white space)


Recommended Posts

You can find an ASCII table everywhere, even in the AutoIt documentation. :)

But I don't know why this should be a slash: _xF8FF_ ????

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to
build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe
trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
So far, the Universe is winning.

Generally speaking you can convert them by replacing the % with 0x00

In fact here is a simple RegEx Replace that would do it.

$sStr = "%20 %27 %FC"
$sStr = StringRegExpReplace($sStr, "%([[:xdigit:]]+)", "0x00$1")

Also take a look in the help file for Opt("WinTitleMatchMode") and Opt("WinTextMode")

And another EDIT:

Here is yet another example

$sStr = "%2b"
$sStr = StringRegExpReplace($sStr, "%([[:xdigit:]]+)", "0x00$1")
MsgBox(0, "TEST", ChrW($sStr))

What I actually meant was, what characters are represented by a "Percent {something}" or the "Underscore" process.

The slash and white spaces I can understand cant be in something that probably refers to a path or is in a path. but are there other characters

that I can expect to see in a window title bar that are characters that can be easily typed on the keyboard but Substituted with % something or hex values in the form of _xxxx_

Thanks

If you are talking about what characters may appear in the title bar of a browser then you are talking about "HTML Entities". See this page for details.

Should you require it; I have a function for converting the entities to plain text.

Actually, %20 is percent encoding OR also URL encoding: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding & http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/ref_urlencode.asp

_xF8FF_ can mean various things, read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U%2BF8FF but the way it should be written is %uF8FF and not _xF8FF_ .

I found some usage of converting \ to _xF8FF_ but can't find where it came from. Here is an example: http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Migrating_POP3_SMTP_Servers_M_Drive.html contains S = Replace (S,"/","_xf8ff_")
