URLDecode — New as of ColdFusion 4.5

Synopsis

URLDecode(URLEncodedString)

Decodes a URL-encoded string. URL-encoded strings have all non-alphanumeric characters, replaced characters with their equivalent hexadecimal escape sequences. Here’s an example that takes a URL-encoded string and decodes it: 

<CFSET MyString="Why is the sky blue?">
<CFSET EncodedString=URLEncodedFormat(MyString)>
<CFSET DecodedString=URLDecode(EncodedString)>

<CFOUTPUT>
Original String: #MyString#<BR>
URL Encoded: #EncodedString#<BR>
Decoded: #DecodedString#
</CFOUTPUT>
