URL Decode

Demonstrates how to URL decode a string. Visual FoxPro

LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL loSb

lnSuccess = 0

loSb = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')

*  Here we wish to URL decode the following string:
lnSuccess = loSb.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:
lnSuccess = loSb.Decode("url","utf-8")

*  sb now contains the decoded string.
? loSb.GetAsString()
