Question

Hi All,

A small problem. I'm attempting to use the %EXPAND% TWikiVariable to escape the characters in a file URL within a forced link.

Example

%EXPAND{"file://a file with spaces.txt"}% - works just fine

[[%EXPAND{"file://a file with spaces.txt"}%][A sensible link name]] - does not work

Does TWiki expand variables first? If it does, how come this does not work?

It's always nice when you can eventually answer your own question

The quotes in the %EXPAND{}% variable are not required!
