Hi,

thank you very much for being willing to help. My problem (on a PC) is 
the following :

I have set up a Web page to receive some papers I need to review. For 
some reasons I have not yet clarified, the text files I have received 
are not clean but have some characters which makes understanding of the 
text quite hard at times.

An example of the text I have got is like "The+effect+of 
watering+on+potatoes+%28Solanum+Tuberosum+L.%29 is that of consenting 
their growth."

That would be "The effect of watering on potatoes (Solanum Tuberosum L.) 
is that of consenting their growth."

Now, I figured out myself that %28 = ( [open parenthesis] and that %29 = 
) [closed parenthesis] or that %2C = , (comma) but there are lots of 
others which I could not figure out like %3F (maybe question mark ?)  or 
%2F or %3A or %25 or %0D or %0A or %26 or %2B (maybe the sign + ?) or 
%27 or %F6 or %2F and so on.

The help I need is the info whether there is a table anywhere (can I 
download it from the Internet ?) to decode all this characters which are 
recurrent (i.e. represent always the same keys, respectively).

If I could find the table, I could do a quick search and substitute and 
clean my text making it quickly and easily readable.

Thanks a lot, I hope you can help my find this CONVERSION Table.
If you have it, please send it over to me as an attached file to your 
e-mail to me.
THANKS !

Silvana
