title: Windows batch script url decoding
body: <p>I have a batch script that triggers vlc for me on my network, the problem is it opens based on URLs in a browser.
  The browser automatically adds the %20 in place of a regular space, and I need to replace this with a regular space again in my batch script before sending the file path on to vlc.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my code;</p>
  
  <pre><code>@echo off
  set str=%1
  set str=%str:~8%
  set str=%str:%%20= %
  START /D "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\" vlc.exe %str%
  pause
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It is worth mentioning that this will run on a windows 7 and/or vista system.</p>
