Martin, to his credit, solved it the hard way.
Here's the hard way in python (slightly modified version of the
unquote function from
the library.)
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
def unquote(s):
"""unquote('abc%20def') -> 'abc def'."""
ls = s.split('%')
res = [ls[0]]
myappend = res.append
del ls[0]
for item in ls:
if item[1:2]:
try:
myappend(chr(int(item[:2], 16))
+ item[2:])
except ValueError:
myappend('%' + item)
else:
myappend('%' + item)
return "".join(res)
print unquote(sys.stdin.read())
Cheers,
Carl.
