That would work if it was in the query string. He's trying to URL encode a query string as part of a larger string... not the query string he's receiving. But honestly it shouldn't be necessary, since most (all?) clients will handle that for you. -dhs Dean H. Saxe, CISSP, CEH [EMAIL

Don't need the lookarounds Use this regex and save $1 and $3 /(a.*?http://([^/]+/)+[^?]+?)([^=] +=\S+\s+\S?)/gx Then use this on $2 to replace the spaces s/\s/+/gx. Then push $1 and $2 back together to get your whole string. That's the perl way... -dhs Dean H. Saxe, CISSP, CEH [EMAIL
