Subj : URL encoding

Just to conclude the issue of the urlencode/urldecode programs:

My script that writes a script that (amongst other things) writes a 
playlist.m3u that uses URL's instead of file names has been successfully 
modified.  The first script uses an RE directly as in:

	s/([^-_\.!~\*'\(\)A-Z0-9])/sprintf("%%%02X", ord($1))/sige;

to encode those parts that are available to it (specifically the artist 
and album directory names).  The generated script calls my little 
urlencode program to do the same.

Anyway, the playlist is now being generated with properly escaped URL 
instead of a filename.

Belly:  No thanks, I don't want to switch to NetYawk or whatever.
