_DECODEURL$

The _DECODEURL$ function is the counterpart for _ENCODEURL$, it returns the decoded plain text URL of the given encoded URL.

Syntax

result$ = _DECODEURL$(url$)

Parameters

• url$ is the URL to decode as variable or literal STRING.

Description

• URL decoding may be required when parsing downloaded files for additional links and retrieving its addresses.
• As it is possible, although not recommended, that a URL was encoded multiple times, this function can be called multiple times too until all encoded chars are resolved again, i.e. until no more percent (%) chars with a following 2 digit hex number exist in the URL.
• It is safe to call this fucntion with an unencoded URL, it will be simply returned as is.
• Note that this function performs no validation of the given URL, it expects a valid URL to be given and just does the decoding.
