Unescape

Decode a string from the "x-www-form-urlencoded" form.

This is what happens:

  • The ASCII characters 'a' through 'z', 'A' through 'Z', and '0' through '9' remain the same.
  • The unreserved characters - _ . ! ~ * ' ( ) remain the same.
  • The plus sign '+' is converted into a space character ' '.
  • All 3-character strings "%xy" are converted into ASCII characters where xy is the two-digit hexadecimal representation of the character code.

Usage:

Unescape( x )

Parameters:

x The string to be decoded.

Returns:

The decoded string.

Examples:

Unescape ("Peter+Schmidt")        // Returns Peter Schmidt
Unescape ("Configuraci%c3%b3n")   // Returns Configuración
Unescape ("Friedrichstra%c3%9fe+231%2c+10969+Berlin")   // Returns Friedrichstraße 231, 10969 Berlin
