File:// - File URLs

[djdidge]

Hi there,

Im embedding file links into my rich text box ... like this... file://c:\test.txt

Now this works fine until i get paths with spaces in... so i tried to replace the spaces with %20
.... like this File://C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\David\Desktop\Test.txt

However, this %20 thing doesnt work.

Ideas?

Regards

enclose you string in Chr(34)'s?

This is called a URI, not a URL (the difference is that a URL is only for the internet, a URI encompasses it, adding the ability to access local resources too).

Try file:/// -- sometimes you need the extra slash.

thx! that seemed to sort most of my issues with it... now just need to figure out how to get the rich text box to detect a 'URI' with spaces.
