Re: How to load a + into a string

The string is being sent to a server which then tries to convert it to a DateTime but does not see the + that is expecting

HTTP? Try %2B instead of +. See also Percent-encoding.

Thanks Perlbotics. Yes sorry I forgot to mention that it was via HTTP and once I changed it to %2B it worked perfectly. Also helped me work out a few other bugs in the code. Thanks again.	[reply]

Are you sending it via a HTTP GET parameter? The "cleaner" way to do that would be with something like URI: `use URI; my $uri = URI->new("http://www.foo.com/bar"); $uri->query_form( param_one => "hello+world&foo=bar", param_two => "blah" ); print "$uri\n"; # prints "http://www.foo.com/bar?param_one=hello%2Bworld%26foo%3Dbar&p +aram_two=blah"` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
