Percent-Encoding

Kyle Jorgensen over 7 years ago

Is there a way to easily percent encode text for use in URIs? For example convert the text input "This is John's $ Title" to "This%20is%20John%27s%20Title"?

I've thought of using a combo of search and replace for each reserved character, but I don't think (correct me if I'm wrong) it's possible to do loop until condition in Appian.

Not 100% what you're looking for, but have you seen urlwithparameters()? You could either use it depending on your use case or at least you could use it for the encoding. As an example, this expression urlwithparameters("/",{"title"},{"This is John's $ Title"})

returns /?title=This%20is%20John%27s%20%24%20Title
