urldecode

[Thomas Henz]

Hi again,

can anyone tell me why it says that the object doesnt support this method?

rs is a db query resultset.
msg is a db field with urlencoded data in it.
------------
if not rs.eof then
do while not rs.eof
response.write(server.urldecode(rs("msg")))
rs.movenext
loop
end if
----------------

Thanks a lot,
Tom

There no such animal as Server.URLDecode. You will need to roll your
own. Perhaps using regular expression.

Url decode is not supported because it is done automaticaly when you pass an
encoded string in a querystring.
If you wish to read an encoded string from somewhere else than
request.querystring you have to implement a decode function like the
following:

function URLDecode(sText)
sDecoded = sText
Set oRegExpr = Server.CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")
oRegExpr.Pattern = "%[0-9,A-F]{2}"
oRegExpr.Global = True
Set oMatchCollection = oRegExpr.Execute(sText)
For Each oMatch In oMatchCollection
sDecoded = Replace(sDecoded,oMatch.value,Chr(CInt("&H" &
Right(oMatch.Value,2))))
Next
URLDecode = sDecoded
End function
