URLDecode

Description

 The URLDecode function is used to decode a value that has been encoded using URL encoding. It reverses the process of URL encoding, converting percent-encoded characters back to their original form.

Syntax:

URLDecode(Value)

• Value: The string to be decoded from UTF-8.

Example:

URLDecode(“http%3a%2f%2fwww.google.com%3fid%3d334%26od%3dtest”) -> “http://www.google.com?id=334&od=test”

This example decodes the URL-encoded string “http%3a%2f%2fwww.google.com%3fid%3d334%26od%3dtest” using the URLDecode function, resulting in the original URL http://www.google.com?id=334&od=test.
