Ah. A combination of both. get url urldecode(" file:/Users/jimhurley/ Library/Mail%20Downloads/elec_web/precincts/241.htm") Still need to get rid of the extra //. If you check the result on fail it'll probably say "can't open file". You'll need to urldecode to set the folder too if you decide to go that way.
