Hi *,

I am looking for a way to open URLs (like "file:///home/vlc/file") as
files - as you would do with "Open (Handle, In_File, "/home/vlc/
file")".

I could surely just remove the heading "file://", but this would still
leave me with the problem of special characters like "file:///home/vlc/
name%20with%20spaces".

Does anybody know of a way to translate URLs to paths?

Thanks a lot in advance!
