in thread Monk Links - Copy Perlmonks-links to the clipboard in on-site-format

Ah, it seems I am not very good at writing documentations.

What would be cool for extentions, holli, is if you did likewise for perldoc, doc, and cpan links.

Actually I have a new version ready that works for cpan://* and kobes://* links, but there is a ugly bug. The entity %3A (double colon) gets not correctly decoded by the decodeURI function. I am trying to figure out why.

As for the perldoc, I will add that when I am sure the currently selected perldoc site will not change.

As a quick hack, you could do `decodeURI(s).replace('%3a',':');`.	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks a lot The Mad Hatter. But that must be `decodeURI(s).replace(/%3a/gi,':');`. Otherwise only the first occurance is replaced. holli, /regexed monk/	[reply] [d/l]

`decodeURI` "does not decode escape sequences that could not have been introduced by encodeURI." In other words, decodeURI won't return an invalid URI, like decoding `%3A` does or could do. You can't safely decode an entire URI. Each path segment, each attribute key and each attribute value must be isolated before they can be decoded. For example `http%3A//www.google.com/` (a relative URI) and `http://www.google.com/` (an absolute URI) are not equivalent. Not what you want: `decodeURI("http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=module&query=XML%3A%3APa +rser")` [download] What you want: `decodeURIComponent("XML%3A%3AParser")` [download] Since your code already extracts the compenent, simply use `clickedLink = "[cpan://" + decodeURIComponent(array[1]) + "]";` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

That might be because decodeURI is a complement to encodeURI which encodes non-valid entities. : is avalid entity in a URI `-- In Bob We Trust, All Others Bring Data.`	[reply]
