“%” symbol in BibTex - Latex

Question

I want to refer an url which contains % symbols, using BibTex.

If I just write %, the rest of the line becomes a comment. If I write \%, then the slash also appears.

    @MISC{ref,
      title="title",
      note="\url{http://www.abc.com/a%20b\%20c}"
    }

Help? Is there any macro for "%"?

Answer 1

Why don't you create any minimal example? The following works fine

\RequirePackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@MISC{ref,
      title="title",
      note="\url{http://www.abc.com/a%20b\%20c}"
    }
\end{filecontents}
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{url}

\begin{document}
\cite{ref}
\bibliography{\jobname}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\end{document}

Answer 2

"%20" is a space character. You can just use \url{http://www.abc.com/a b c and when the user clicks the URL they will be taken to a%20b%20c.

Answer 3

Have you tried http://www.abc.com/a\% 20b\% 20c?
