ESLWEB Function

Decodes a textual string.

 

URLDecode(URL_SV)

Parameters

URL_SV

A string containing the text to be decoded.

Returns

An ESL string containing the decoded text.

Description

As there a number of special reserved characters that cannot be included in the individual fields returned by a "web server". For example a "less than" and "greater than" characters (i.e. "<" and ">") are reserved as they are used to identify the start and end of a HTML or XML tag. This function converts all the escape sequences, used to encode the special reserved character, back to the original character.

Each data field must be extracted from the string returned by the Web Server before being decoded separately.
