Thanks for the great function, there should be a FM standard URLdecode function, but until then, this is great. Here is the full list I'm using in multiple parts since there 's a 1500 character reply limit. ["%0D";"¶"]; ["%20";" "]; ["%21";"!"]; ["%22";"\""]; ["%23";"#"]; ["%24";"$"]; ["%25";"%"]; ["%26";"&"]; ["%27";"'"]; ["%28";"("]; ["%29";")"]; ["%2A";"*"]; ["%2B";"+"]; ["%2C";","]; ["%2D";"-"]; ["%2E";"."]; ["%2F";"/"]; ["%3A";":"]; ["%3B";";"]; ["<";""]; ["%3D";"="]; [">";""]; ["%3F";"?"]; ["%40";"@"]; ["%5B";"["]; ["%5C";"\\"]; ["%5D";"]"]; ["%5E";"^"]; ["%5F";"_"]; ["%60";"`"]; ["%7B";"{"]; ["%7C";"|"]; ["%7D";"}"]; ["%7E";"~"]; ["%A0";" "]; ["%A1";"¡"]; ["%A2";"¢"]; ["%A3";"£"]; ["%A4";"¤"]; ["%A5";"¥"]; ["%A6";"¦"]; ["%A7";"§"]; ["%A8";"¨"]; ["%A9";"©"

looks like you need to replace '&qu ot' with ' " '. Don't think anyone needs these, but just incase. ["%30";"0"]; ["%31";"1"]; ["%32";"2"]; ["%33";"3"]; ["%34";"4"]; ["%35";"5"]; ["%36";"6"]; ["%37";"7"]; ["%38";"8"]; ["%39";"9"]; ["%41";"A"]; ["%42";"B"]; ["%43";"C"]; ["%44";"D"]; ["%45";"E"]; ["%46";"F"]; ["%47";"G"]; ["%48";"H"]; ["%49";"I"]; ["%4A";"J"]; ["%4B";"K"]; ["%4C";"L"]; ["%4D";"M"]; ["%4E";"N"]; ["%4F";"O"]; ["%50";"P"]; ["%51";"Q"]; ["%52";"R"]; ["%53";"S"]; ["%54";"T"]; ["%55";"U"]; ["%56";"V"]; ["%57";"W"]; ["%58";"X"]; ["%59";"Y"]; ["%5A";"Z"]; ["%61";"a"]; ["%62";"b"]; ["%63";"c"]; ["%64";"d"]; ["%65";"e"]; ["%66";"f"]; ["%67";"g"]; ["%68";"h"]; ["%69";"i"]; ["%6A";"j"]; ["%6B";"k"]; ["

Code seems to get messed up a bit, so fix where needed like ["%41";"A"];

For best results, move the [ "%25" ; "%" ] to the bottom of the list. Otherwise, if there are any embedded %'s they may be re-interpreted as an additional escape sequence.
