url encode problem

[necrox]

I have an url encoding problem which ends up with an error message

 

 

after using this "cleanup" function

 

{url:multireplace:|:%3A|%2F|%2E::|/|.}

 

 

for the following url:

ftp%3A%2F%2Fftp.hp.com%2Fpub%2Fsoftlib%2Fsoftware12%2FCOL17052%2Fja-45284-18/upd-PCL6-X32-5_2_6_9321.exe

 

 

I have tried to multireplace the html encoded characters using this function. I figured out the problem. It is the red marked colon. Is there any chance to use a colon as character in multireplace function without producing a crash?

Use a slash before it as so:

{url:multireplace:|:%3A|%2F|%2E:\:|/|.}

First of all sorry for the bad image link in my previous post. I've fixed it.

 

I've already tried the backslash thing. And it ends up with the same error message / crash.

What version are you using? This works perfectly for me.

Ketarin 1.6b4 on Windows 7 Enterprise x64.

 

EDIT:

same error message on Windows XP SP3 x32.

If you want to give it a try: the name of the app is "HP Universal Print Driver (Setup PCL6 32-bit)" in the online database. For me it does not work at all.

You're right, I can't get that one to work, either. There's other ways to make it happen, though (and a couple other errors in that profile). For this one, instead of grabbing the entire URL, just get the part after the %3A:

(?<=targetPage=.+?tp%3A).+?(?>\.exe)

Then assemble the URL afterwards. This enables you to switch it to HTTP, too:

http:{url:multireplace:|:%2F|%2E:/|.}

I will fix the error for the next version. Also, I will add a function "urldecode" that should work better for your case.

What kind of other errors?
