Demonstrates URL encoding and decoding. Xojo Plugin

Dim success As Boolean
success = False

// To URL encoding a string:
Dim s As String
s = "Why a > b?"

Dim sb As New Chilkat.StringBuilder
success = sb.Append(s)

// URL encode the string.
success = sb.Encode("url","utf-8")

// Show the URL encoded string:
Dim sEncoded As String
sEncoded = sb.GetAsString()
System.DebugLog(sEncoded)

// The result is:  Why%20a%20%3E%20b%3F

// If you prefer "+" instead of "%20" for SPACE chars:
Dim numReplaced As Int32
numReplaced = sb.Replace("%20","+")
System.DebugLog(sb.GetAsString())

// Output is:   Why+a+%3E+b%3F

// To decode:
success = sb.Decode("url","utf-8")
System.DebugLog(sb.GetAsString())

// Result is: Why a > b?
