To encode any string for use in a URL, try using the escape() method

theEncodedURL = escape(theString);

Spaces will be replaced with %20.  Plus symbols are exempt however the 
code

theEncodedURL = escape(theString, 1);

is supposed to work.

To reverse the command, try the unescape() method

theDecodedURL = unescape(theEncodedURL);
