TM> I think there is an RFC that defines things like /20, No. There's a RFC for e.g. URLs and how to format special characters like ' ' in them ... this one defines the characters have to be 'encoded' by using '%' plus their hexadecimal representation. So in an URL a space character with char code '32' it would have been '%20' because '32d' equals to '0x20' ... *ahhhhh* most of us do know this string '%20'?? Yeah :-) It's the same you must use in a 'mailto:' link when you want a space in it :-) Now there's only one question left: why does TB! not use '%xx', but '\xx'? Because RIT decided to do so. '\' is an escape sequence known from several sources, like C, Perl and other programming languages. Maybe the component RIT uses for parsing the text to the object that represents a filter is already capable to interpret '\xx' as 'char with the hex code 'xx' and '\\' as 'literal \' and therefore there was no need to manually implement a '%xx' decoding routine :-) Would make most sense of all ideas that came to my mind to me :-) HTH Pit -- Regards Peter Palmreuther mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (The Bat! v1.61 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2) Der beste Diskdoubler: DEL \WINDOWS\*.* ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.61 FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/
