How to convert special characters to use for a URL

[bgowland]

If I want to convert a path (for example) to the escaped characters used in an HTTP url are there any easy conversion methods to do this in code rather than manually using 'replace' on strings?

For instance...

D:\folder\some filename.abc

would be passed as

D%3a%5cfolder%5csome+filename.abc

Any quick and easy way of doing that?

Cheers,
Brian

Close enough, thanks.

Funny how a simple word like 'encode' had totally escaped me and I couldn't work out what I should be searching for. That link pointed me at what I needed.
