Hi guys,

can someone explain the following behaviour?

Why I can't decode the string?

process.env
={
VERSION: "2v00",
GIT_COMMIT: "ff35517",
BOARD: "ESP8266_4MB",
FLASH: 0, RAM: 81920,
SERIAL: "cc50e30f-0b50",
CONSOLE: "Serial1",
MODULES: "Flash,Storage,hea" ... "r,crypto,neopixel",
EXPTR: 1073643636 }

Best regards

You are using a special character > 127 and that does not look like these are supported.

chars as part of RFC spec

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986

May we ask what specifically is attempted to be decoded and for what purpose? There may be other ways to skin a rabbit . . .

If you try decodeURIComponent("%E4") in your web browser it'll fail too - so Espruino is just attempting to implement it as per the spec.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
