URL Decode

Demonstrates how to URL decode a string. B4X

Dim success As Boolean = False



Dim sb As ChilkatStringBuilder
sb.Initialize

'  Here we wish to URL decode the following string:
success = sb.Append("%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%A6%D7%A81.jpg")

'  Notice the above string contains Hebrew chars using the utf-8 byte representation.
'  See https://www.loc.gov/marc/specifications/codetables/BasicHebrew.html
'  For example:  D79E is the HEBREW LETTER MEM

'  Therefore, when we decode to binary bytes, we must interpret the bytes as utf-8
'  to get characters.

'  Tell Chilkat to URL decode like this:
success = sb.Decode("url", "utf-8")

'  sb now contains the decoded string.
