how to escape a caret

How can I escape the caret (^) in page: read http://whatever.com/cgi?data=^something \^ or "^" or ^^ or %5e does not work. I've tried.

This works for me:

>> print "^^"

I think url is not parsed this way. Try page: read http://quote.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=^^HSI&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv page: read to-url "http://quote.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=^^HSI&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv" They all fail. 2001/4/20 AM 03:10:22, [JELINEM1--nationwide--com] wrote:

Sorry, skimmed through my emails too fast, didn't read the context of your question. You're right, URLs in REBOL don't like carets (but the double carets do evaluate to a single).

Try url-encoding the caret, as in
