Re: [delicia] nonprintable characters
Hi,

Its hard to know. Could it be UTF8 that is breaking?

Code:
$value =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;

This converts URL encoded values (%20 for space), into proper values.

Quote:
edit: i tried it but it still let me enter 5 consecutive nonbreaking spaces & n b s p ;

Not sure what you mean?

What is $query? A CGI.pm object? Or a GT specific one? You really shouldn't have to be doing decoding of strings from the POST/GET values

Cheers
