Hello,

I have already manually edited the site map file, and replaced all of 
the space characters with %20, but I would like to know how to handle 
the spaces in my script so that doesn't have to be done.

I'm releasing the script as open source software, and it would be nice 
if I did not have to tell my users they need to manually replace all of 
the space characters with %20 in their site maps.

Ahhh, it just dawned on me... I bet I can replace the space characters 
with %20 as I load each line in from the file. I have no idea how to do 
that, as bash is not real string handling friendly, but I will work on 
it some, and see if I can figure out how to.

Later, Ray Parrish
