AutoIT and Outlook: Need help replacing text spaces with ASCII %20.

[SlapshotBoston]

So I have a program which pulls in an array from a .xls file with some names and email adresses and starts to loop through using the CMD strings for outlook:

Local $newmail = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\OUTLOOK.exe /c ipm.note /a C:\users\myname\yatayata.txt /m me.email.com&subject=subject"

Now I actually get the path for the attachment (/a .....) from an input box so it's really:

Local $attachmentPath = InputBox("Attachment", "Please Enter a Valid UNC Path to a document")
Local $newMail = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\OUTLOOK.exe /c ipm.note /a " & $attachmentPath & " /m me.email.com&subject=subject"

Now this all works fine, provided that there are no spaces in the path returned in $attachmentPath. However, if the path has any spaces in it then when the CMD string is constructed it bombs out because it cannot handel the spaces. The solution to this is to replace any text spaces with an ASCII space which is "%20".

I am looking for a way to parse any spaces in a stringe returned in $attachmentPath with a "%20" before its passed into the $newMail string...

Any Thoughts?

StringReplace can do the job, or StringRegExpReplace, depending on whether you need replacement for more than a single character.

StringRegExpReplace worked like a charm, thanks for the help!!!
