Problem with Web.HttpUtility.UrlDecode
I have a file name which will not decode correctly with the
Web.HttpUtility.UrlDecode routine. The original file name is : "G:/MyMusic/iTunes/iTunes%20Music/38%20Special/Rock%20&%20Roll%20Strategy/01%20Second%20Chance.mp3/" The file name after the routine is: "G:/MyMusic/iTunes/iTunes Music/38 Special/Rock & Roll Strategy/01 Second Chance.mp3/" Note the "38 Special/Rock & Roll Strategy" which should be translated as "38 Special/Rock & Roll Strategy" Any ideas?

Re: Problem with Web.HttpUtility.UrlDecode
Hi Lloyd,
URLEncoding doesn't usually use entities. An Ampersand should be represented as %38... You might also try & although I'm sure the problem is that UrlDecode doesn't do the HtmlDecoding. To fix this issue you can HtmlDecode after you're done UrlDecoding. +++ Rick --- -- Rick Strahl West Wind Technologies http://www.west-wind.com/ http://www.west-wind.com/weblog/ http://www.west-wind.com/wwThreads/ ---------------------------------- Making waves on the Web "Lloyd Sheen" <> wrote in message news:Z92dnQ6p6KAKTr7fRVn-... > I have a file name which will not decode correctly with the > Web.HttpUtility.UrlDecode routine. > > The original file name is : > "G:/MyMusic/iTunes/iTunes%20Music/38%20Special/Rock%20&%20Roll%20Strateg y/01%20Second%20Chance.mp3/" > > The file name after the routine is: > "G:/MyMusic/iTunes/iTunes Music/38 Special/Rock & Roll Strategy/01 > Second Chance.mp3/" > > Note the "38 Special/Rock & Roll Strategy" which should be translated as > "38 Special/Rock & Roll Strategy" > > Any ideas? > > Lloyd Sheen > > Rick Strahl [MVP] |

Re: Problem with Web.HttpUtility.UrlDecode
Problem is that I don't do the encoding. This is done by ITunes. All file
names which have an "&" have the same problem. I have had to put in a special set of code just for this. Oh well I guess Apple remains a domain unto themselves.
