Re: url get with string

[haukex]

If $name is just a simple string like you showed, with no special characters, then huck has given you the answer in regards to interpolation in '$name' vs. "$name".

However, if you've got any special characters in that string, they need to be escaped properly. Here's one way with URI:

use URI;
my $name = 'xyz&foo=bar';
my $uri = URI->new('https://www.google.com/');
$uri->query_form(
    name => $name,
    foo  => 'quz',
);
print "$uri\n";

__END__

https://www.google.com/?name=xyz%26foo%3Dbar&foo=quz

haukex am using LWP::UserAgent, guys non of idea has worked,most guys dont believe that some url dont accept using string in url they only allow normal form. so u just have to bypass or force it. any better idea i appreciate

[haukex]

non of idea has worked

I demonstrated that my suggestion does work, so perhaps you could demonstrate with code how it doesn't do what you want? How do I post a question effectively?

[bigup401]

here is a working code, anyone can try

my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'https://www.google.com/finance/co
+nverter?a=3&from=USD&to=EUR');
$req->content_type('application/json');
my $re = $ua->request($req);
  $re->content =~ m|<span class=bld>(.+?)</span>|i and $span = $1;
  $ct = substr($1, 0, -6);
  print $ct;
  prints 2.77 according to the currency  usd to euro

but when you try to put amount from string $m = "3";

  https://www.google.com/finance/converter?a=$m&from=USD&to=EUR

doesn;t work correctly
