newbie: HTTP and URIs

Hi,
I'm quite new to this, so please excuse trivial questions:
- Is there any function (int the .net framework) that gives me an
enumeration of all URIs in a http stream (passed as e.g. a string)? If not,
how could I achieve such a thing?
- Really trivial, but to make sure: What does the string "/.../" in an URL
mean? I'd suspect some directory operation, but I dunno exactly...
- I'm currently using the HttpUtility.UrlDecode() function to decode some
http URIs and one thing stroke me in particular: The string
[...]"test.exe?/c+xtsr" is decoded to "test.exe?/c xtsr", missing the "+".
When I use the System.Uri class for the decoding the "+" remains...Does
anyone know why?
Thanks for reading till end and thanks in advance
PeterHi Peter,
No question is trivial if you don't know the answer to it! :)

Not sure what you mean by this. You can find URLs in an HTML document by
using Regular Expressions. The HTML document is a string.

Is that the exact string you saw in a URL? I've never seen it before.
The following link to the W3C should help":

The "+" character is a URL-Encoding for a space (which is an illegal URL
character).

Newby Question Linking of data between HTML and ASP!

Xref: TK2MSFTNGP08.phx.gbl microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet:297891
Hi:
I am an utter virgin at ASP, but have experience in HTML!
I have a very basic question.
I have an ASP sheet, where I wish to permit the user to enter a code, and th
en return the
results of a query against a table, using that code. My problem is that I do
n't quite know
how to:
A Present the end user input to the query
B. Present the results to the HTML: code.
In the query I have tried common sql techniques such as "Like{Input the code
]", but that
does not work.
I know there must be an easy way, but it too simple to show up in the materi
als I am
reading.
Can someone point me in the direction of an answer.
Thanks

You can find an answer on the ASP ewsgroups:
microsoft.public.inetserver.asp.db
microsoft.public.inetserver.asp.general
