Browser 'Navigate to' places %22 in place of opening " in string

Help
1

Scenario:

When using the Navigate To function, the opening " in the URL string, addressed in the array with item.ToString is converted to %22 showing up in the URL. The ending double quotes appear fine (see message boxes attached). The array is formed by splitting a string read from a text file containing the URLs and we need to do a set of actions for each URL (now stored in the array).

Steps to reproduce:

Current Behavior:

When passed as a parameter during Open Browser, the same URL read from the item.Tostring opens AOK. But sometimes the page redirects to another page which is why we need to place a Navigate to Also (we will add logic later to check if there is a redirect)

Expected Behavior:

The item.ToString when passed during Open Browser works ok. The same string when used in Navigate To should also open the URL

Hi,
Indeed.
Try with IE. It doesn’t work for both ( Open Browser as well as navigate activity). :stuck_out_tongue:

PS: May I know why you need to pass double quote twice? what is the specific requirement?

Hey @intransient

%22 is due to Extra Quote in your Url string i.e. "

and i am not able to get why you are passing “”“”“+item.tostring+”“”". even single time quotes at both end i.e. “”+item.tostring+“” i can understand.

Note- Just checked It with my chrome. Chrome is intelligent browser enough it is even interpreting that url string and opening the url but IE is placing %22 due to this extra quotes and if you are passing http as well it will also append it default.

Regards,.!!
