in java my file paths with included spaces show up as %20 and i'm not sure why

Question

I have a photo selection model, but for some reason whenever I call the path of the images, the space in the path is converted to it's HTML code and I'm not sure why. Do any of you have any ideas? Thanks for any help you can spare.

Answer 1

It's url encoded. I dont know the java library to un-encode but I'm sure it's out there and fairly easy to use.
