I think this is a lot more tricky than it looks at first glance.

Consider the following example:

<cfset str = "Hexadecimal coding can be used to convert characters to a 
hexadecimal equivalant. For example, a space can be represented as %20, 
or a + sign can be converted to a %2B.">

<cfif reFindNoCase('%[0-9]{2}',str)>
  <cfoutput>#urlDecode(str)#</cfoutput>
<cfelse>
  <cfoutput>#str#</cfoutput>
</cfif>
Although it's a contrived example, it's not beyond the bounds of 
possibility that something similar could appear in a real string.

if its encoded it will decode the string.  If not it wont hurt it

    something like:

    <CFSCRIPT>
            function IsURLEncoded(text)
            {
                    if (REFind("%[0-9]{2}",text)) return true;
                    return false;
            }
    </CFSCRIPT>

    hey all -

    Anyone know a nifty way to tell if a string is URL Encoded or not?

    I'm drawing blanks.

    Just getting some data from an external source, and SOME of it will
    need to be decoded ,and
    some won't be, the rules of which are slightly haphazard, so I
    thought if i could tell if a string
    was encoded, I could subsequently decode it.
    TIA

    Mark
