Lua

URL Decode

Demonstrates how to URL decode a string. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

local sb = chilkat.StringBuilder.new()

-- Here we wish to URL decode the following string:
local 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.
print(sb:get_as_string())
