I'm using the Open URL Script Step to build a URL.based on a field
value

The base of the URL contains the # character, eg. "http://
xmap.picr.man.ac.uk/#"

Unfortunately, althogth the URL builds nicely on a PC, on an Mac the #
character is rendered as %23... and, of course, this is not correctly
interpreted by the browser.

Any tips on how I can force the Mac to build the URL with the # and
not make it into %23

Gareth,

just a possible thought - fill a global (text) with "#" and composee the
URL from a calc whose last character is that global.

*Maybe* this helps.

Try the Quote function. Quote("abc\¶") returns "abc\¶" (found in the
help-file)

Keep well, Ursus

The "#" at the end of a URL usually means the browser has to run a
script, so that URL may or may not work from within FileMaker anyway.

Hopefully helping harassed humans happily handle handiwork hardships ;o)

Thanks Harry... The script works really well in the PC, so the hash
is not the problem.
