    // The result is:  Why%20a%20%3E%20b%3F

    // If you prefer "+" instead of "%20" for SPACE chars:
    int numReplaced = sb.Replace(L"%20",L"+");
    wprintf(L"%s\n",sb.getAsString());

    // Output is:   Why+a+%3E+b%3F

    // To decode:
    sb.Decode(L"url",L"utf-8");
    wprintf(L"%s\n",sb.getAsString());

    // Result is: Why a > b?
