DecodeURLComponent Function

Decodes the components of a URL that were encoded by EncodeURLComponent or equivalent.

Syntax
result = DecodeURLComponent( str )

Parameters
str | String | The encoded URL.

Return Value
Result | String | The 'original' string.

# Notes

A valid URL is a series of components that are separated by component separators. They are the ".", "/", ";", "&", and "?". EncodeURLComponent works with each component part of the URL. It assumes that any component separators in a component represent text and must be encoded. An encoded URL is decoded by DecodeURLComponent.

# Example

Here is an example of how an encoded URL is decoded.

Dim s as String
s=DecodeURLComponent("www.bob%26ray.com") //returns "www.bob&ray.com"
