You could say:

URI.encode(’hello world’) # hello%20world

But that’s ugly, so why not:

‘hello world’.encode # hello%20world

Much nicer and more rubyesque!
Here’s one way to do it:

require ‘uri’
 
class String
 
def encode
URI.encode(self)
end
 
def decode
URI.decode(self)
end
 
end

Why do you use decode and encode instead of escape and unescape?
Because encode [...]
