Hello

I've a little problem, when i request something from the query string, (page.asp?File Name is This) the Browser changes the spaces into %20's (page.asp?File%20Name%20is%20This), since my query further reads a file of the same name, so because of the %20 ASP Returns a File Not Found Error, What to do ?

Function URLDecode(strURL)
     Dim s, res, ss
     s = InStr(strURL,"%")
     Do While s>0
           ss = "&H"+Mid(strURL,s+1,2)
           res = res+Mid(strURL, 1, s-1)+Chr(0+ss)
           strURL = Mid(strURL,s+3, Len(strURL)-s-2)
           s = InStr(strURL,"%")
    Loop
    URLDecode = Replace(res&strURL, "+"," ")
End Function

Oh, I knew it was a function in ASP.NET but wasn't sure about Classic ASP
