I had to the same thing a while back:

def url_decode(s)
   s.gsub(/((?:%[0-9a-fA-F]{2})+)/n) do
     [$1.delete('%')].pack('H*')
   end
end

> s = "Hello there everyone!"
=> "Hello there everyone!"
> u(s)
=> "Hello%20there%20everyone%21"
> url_decode(u(s))
=> "Hello there everyone!"

Found this via google originally.

irb(main):001:0> require 'uri'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> URI.decode "a%2Fb"
=> "a/b"

Found in the standard library. :slight_smile:

Steve, I really enjoyed the Six Million Dollar Man, but, now, I kind of wish
you would shove your bionic arm up your own ass and quit spamming this list.

Sincerely,

Jamey (Not Sommers) Cribbs
