[question] decode function for gmnotes field on graphic?

1374415406

For gmnotes on a graphic, I am seeing "this%20is%20a%20test" when log(graphic.get('gmnotes')). This looks to me like URI encoding.  IIs there a decode function available on the object, maybe as a utility?  Im not looking to use GM as a datastore, just want to pretty print the contents to chat as a gm whisper.

fyi, decodeURIComponent() does work for simple encoded strings, but errors out with more advanced encodings.

There is indeed a method for decoding URI, built into JavaScript. You're going to want to do something like var foo = log(graphic.get('gmnotes') decodeURI(foo) This is as opposed to decodeURIComponent(), of course.

I say this, but after testing, that actually doesn't work; please, disregard that. decodeURIComponent() is the only thing that properly, well, decodes, but even that fails under intense scrutiny.

This is from the start of the API when i used to store stuff in the notes (before the state object was added): jsonStr = decodeURIComponent(jsonStr); // Removes URI encoding. jsonStr = jsonStr.replace(/<[^>]+>/ig,""); // Removes HTML.
