Problem with StringReplace (% char)

[Diego Cochiloco]

If i try to replace a ' # '  or any other char with a ' % ' char this command is not working. It will be replaced by a blank.
Is there any way to make this possible?

string myText =  "TEST#TEST";
StringReplace(myText,"#","%"); 

I need this because i want to send open orders to my webserver by using http request. For example a symbol with name #NOK# is making troubles because in an URL a # symbol needs to be escaped by %23

Thanks in advance

Your problem is elsewhere.

Sorry guys for the confusion! Everything is working well with  StringReplace(myText,"#","%");
The reason why it thought this is not working was the fact that i used  PrintFormat(myText) without any format options instead of Print (myText).

Thanks anyway!
