How can I use <USER> as the Input string for the function tab

This is a fairly noob question but I just can’t seem to get this working how I used to. Basically I am entering data in the debugger with this data “[email protected]:Test123” and then trying to use a function block to use the URLEncode function on the user and pass information, I figured I could just enter and as the input string, and save the variables to user_encoded & pass_encoded. But when I save the and variables to the new variables they are just being read as strings.

The user_encoded var returns: “%3CUSER%3E” and pass_encoded var returns: “%3CPASS%3E”. Previously when I used openbullet around a year ago I would be able to use & in any input field and it would read them as variables not as strings but now it’s just reading them as strings.

Thanks for any help.

LoliScript Code

FUNCTION URLEncode "<USER>" -> VAR "user_encoded" 

FUNCTION URLEncode "<PASS>" -> VAR "pass_encoded"
