Command Line Varaibles

  • Recently I seen a %20 use in a file name e.g. My%20Documents. I was wondering what does the %20 mean, and are there any other % variable that would be helpful to know?


  • just to add to the above comment, its of format %## where ## is a hex number, so 20 is actually ascii 32, which is a space and so on. Have Fun! Pratap


  • Hi, The %20 is not a variable name, rather it is a ascii code representing a blank space inside a file name. You will see the same representation on website urls, where the file names have spaces in them as well. Since this is probably a huge let down for you (was for me when I first saw them).. I posted this in the clarification area, instead of answering the question, and taking the bid. Sorry about that, keep on keeping on as they say. :-) webadept-ga
