string with "tab" and "carriage return"

[clarissa1996]

Hi all,

I need to pass a string to a perl program.
The problem is that the string contains tab and carriage return characters.

Example: "AAA\tBBB\nCCC\tDDD"

http://cgi-bin/pro.cgi?AAA\tBBB\nCCC\tDDD

I have found that I need to change the character "\t" with "%09":

http://cgi-bin/pro.cgi?AAA BBB\nCCC DDD

... but I have no solution for the carriage return character.

Any help is appreciated.

The carriage-return character \n has hex value 0A.

For a complete list of URI encoding characters, see the HTML URL-encoding Reference.

You may also want to look at the CPAN module CGI::Enurl.

Hi TonyGroves,
Hi MissBarell,

thanks a lot for your help.
With "%0D" now my progam works perfectly.
