   That will work as long as you're not using one of HTML's special chars,   
   like, from the top of my head,  "&", "<" and">".    Especially the "<" will   
   cause problems   
      
   IOW, you need to sanitize the users input.   
      
   Luckily your other post already contains the solution method :   
      
   > :replace_spaces_with_+   
   >  set "amazon_item=%item: =+%"   
      
   And by the way: did you know that you can have "set /p" display a bit of   
   text before displaying the input prompt ?   Like this :   
      
   set /p "url=Url: "
