Format
url_decode(UrlText)
Args
UrlText: text to be “unescaped”
Returns
unescaped text
Most non-alphanumeric characters are converted to another format in a URL. To send these characters literally, they must be “escaped”.
The url_decode()
instruction takes a text string containing such escaped symbols and turns them into their literal counterparts. Usually this is done for you automatically in Topic()
. The more useful function is url_encode()
which does the reverse.
