DecodeQuotedPrintable

Method

Decodes into “normal” text a string that has been encoded by EncodeQuotedPrintable.

Usage

result = DecodeQuotedPrintable(str [, encoding])

Part	Type	Description
result	String	The result of processing str.
str	String	The string expression to be decoded back to its original form.
encoding	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.

Sample Code

The following code takes the contents of TextArea1 and decodes it. If TextArea1 contains Return character, EncodeQuotedPrintable encodes them and DecodeQuotedPrintable decodes them.

Var s As String
s = EncodeQuotedPrintable(TextArea1.Value)

TextArea2.Value = DecodeQuotedPrintable(s)
