how to edit a variable

[justwonderin]

hi, I am trying to figure out how to edit a variable to replace spaces with '%20' to allow for google search
assumin the variable is labeled '1st' I think the code is;
$replaceall("{{variables.1st.0.url}}", " ", "%20")
how do I create a block to trigger that code?
Thanks

I'm sorry to inform you that I just checked the code, and we can't directly implement the effect you want in the expression. However, there is a slightly more roundabout way to achieve it. Before the search, add a "javascript block" and then obtain the variable in the code. For example:

const newValue = automaRefData('variables', 'your variable key').replace(' ', '%20')

automaSetVariable('your variable key', newValue)

After that, you can use the expression {{balabala}} in the input box.

I'm so sorry. I checked the code again and tested it. We can directly achieve the effect you want in the expression.

use "[]" wrap the variable.
