Converting a String from HTML to URL format in LR

I need to correlate a string in LR script which is in below format
u4yxAKJcJkcHw7ou%2BagbvBykfJqrjFlgu4QHZw%2FAY1w5eBs0j2cPwaC%2Bo7KQfbYHvZsat

But using web_Reg_save_param() function I could only capture in this format
u4yxAKJcJkcHw7ou+agbvBykfJqrjFlgu4QHZw/AY1w5eBs0j2cPwaC+o7KQfbYHv

The issue is the captured string has "+" spaces inbetween. I have to convert the "+" to something like "%2B"
basically from HTML format to URL format.

After correlation. I used web_convert_param() function to convert it to URL. passed it to a parameter and used that parameter to replace the hardcoded string
