Using %20 in a variable

[Jon12345]

The code below is not working. I get a "Not Acceptable" message. It works if I remove the %20 and just have DogFood. But it is part of the url so I can't, can I?

How can I get around this problem?

Thanks,

Jon

Code: Select all

Let>KeywordPhrase=Dog%20Food
HTTPRequest>http://mysite.com/cgi-bin/script/script.cgi/?keywords=%KeywordPhrase%,,GET,,Result

[/code]

You don't say when you get the error message.

I don't get an error if I display
MessageModal>%KeywordPhrase%

I also tried this, with success:
Let>Pct=%
Let>KeywordPhrase=Dog%Pct%Food
MessageModal>%KeywordPhrase%

So the error message must be coming when trying to call up the web page.
The %20 is an HTML way of using a space character.
Have you tried this:
Let>KeywordPhrase=Dog Food

I'm not getting any errors with the following test script:

Code: Select all

Let>query=dog%20food
HTTPRequest>http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=%query%,,GET,res
MessageModal>res

Works fine. Which version of Macro Scheduler are you running? Please check under Help/About.
