Question

URLEncodedFormat() / URLDecode

I found the live docs version of these 2 functions, but does anyone know a
place to find a easier explanation on how to use these?

I know to use the URLEncodedFormat() you would use:
<cflocation url="page.cfm?var=#URLEncodedFormat('Form.variabletosend#')">

But I am not sure how to 'decode' it on another page to use it as a variable
on another page.

Thanks

If you access the variable, as a normal CF variable:

<cfset newVar=var>
or
<cfset newVar=URL.var>

You do not need to do anything, because CF will perform necessary conversion for you.

It's probably just a typo but the closing # needs to be on the other side of the bracket.

You use URLDecode the same way

<cfset myvar = URLDecode(url.var)>
