DecodeURLComponent
From Xojo Documentation
Method
Decodes the components of a URL that were encoded by EncodeURLComponent or equivalent.
Usage
result = DecodeURLComponent(str [,enc])
| Part | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | String | The 'original' string. |
| str | String | The encoded URL. |
| enc | TextEncoding | The TextEncoding to be used to decode str. |
Notes
A valid URL consists of alphanumerics, special characters and some reserved characters. Use DecodeURLComponent to convert encoded characters back to their original values.
The optional text encoding parameter is used to specify the original encoding of the string. To specify the encoding, use the Encodings module as shown in the second example.
Sample Code
Here are examples of how an encoded URL is decoded.
Dim s As String
s = DecodeURLComponent("www.bob%26ray.com") // returns "www.bob&ray.com"
s = DecodeURLComponent(TextField1.Text, Encodings.DOSArabic))
s = DecodeURLComponent("www.bob%26ray.com") // returns "www.bob&ray.com"
s = DecodeURLComponent(TextField1.Text, Encodings.DOSArabic))
