DecodeQuotedPrintable Function

Syntax

result = DecodeQuotedPrintable( str, [encoding] )


Parameters

str

String

The string expression to be decoded back to its original form.

encoding (Optional)

TextEncoding

Optional: The text encoding of the passed string. If you pass an encoding, is has the same effect as calling DefineEncoding on the returned String.

Notes

DecodeQuotedPrintable converts text representations of unprintable characters (i.e., control characters, returns and tabs) back into their original form. It is designed for handling email or usenet messages. It undoes the encoding done by EncodeQuotedPrintable.

The DecodeQuotedPrintable function performs the function in reverse.

DecodeQuotedPrintable can decode strings in which hexadecimal values are represented in lowercase as well as the standard uppercase.
