URLEncode

Syntax

Result = URLEncode(Url[, SpacePlus])

Description

Converts an html-link into in a valid escaped URL, optionally converting "+" and " " into valid characters.

For new development that must interoperate with modern web platforms expecting UTF-8 percent-encoding (such as REST APIs and JavaScript encodeURIComponent output), the toURL method of the StringClass is the recommended alternative.

Parameter	Description
URL	The specified html-link to be formatted into a valid URL.
SpacePlus	Optional, Boolean. If True, the "+" and space characters are converted in html-encoded strings: "+" -> %"2B" " " -> "+"

    Debug.Print sURL$
