passing string to cgi from web

when I call cgi from my form,
sometimes string contains symbols
like this "%5C%5C%5F"
Is there easy way to convert them to the normal chars?
my cgi-script is written on c.
Thanks

there is a module for perl. but for c? i don`t know.

anyway. you have to split the string into pieces. here 5C, 5C and 5F. These pieces are the hexadecimal values, representing the char.

eg.
5C = 92 = \
5F = 95 = _

this is the theory.
