mikedvzo Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I am trying to paste a URL into Alfred and Alfred is transposing it. I tried turning off the calculator function and few other things but to no avail. If I paste the URL into Safari directly it works fine. It is an internal URL that is used for a search engine. Here is the correct and transposed URl. I am guessing Alfred is interpreting some characters improperly. Correct URL - http://topic.cisco.com/vivisimo/cgi-bin/query-meta?q=%22signalling+refre sh+interval%22&btnG=Search&sa=Search&searchmode=basic&v%3Asources=Newsgr oup Transposed URL - http://topic.cisco.com/vivisimo/cgi-bin/query-meta?q=%2522signalling+refre%0Ash+interval%2522&btnG=Search&sa=Search&searchmode=basic&v%253Asources=Newsgr%0Aoup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikedvzo Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 Thanks Andrew that must be it sorry I thought I checked this but it was driving me nuts especially when the extra characters were being inserted. It looks like Safari does not care about the extra line breaks. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
