I'm trying to decode a string and insert it into a new string, but it just won't work. I tried unescape and decodeURIComponent.

What am I doing wrong? Here is a plunker.

This is the code:

var str = "2015 &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; &#58;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; alle";
alert(unescape(str));

I prefer to do it in AngularJS.

Did you check this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4292914/javascript-url-decode-function ? – Apurv Dec 02 '15 at 14:17

Those are HTML entities, not URL encoding. All ` ` are just no-break spaces. And the `:` is a `:`. – Sebastian Simon Dec 02 '15 at 14:18
Oh ok thanks! I'll go and search for HTML entities decoding. – RiesvGeffen Dec 02 '15 at 14:19
unescape works on hex numbers, e.g. `%A7`. you don't have hex digits, you have html entities: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1147359/how-to-decode-html-entities-using-jquery – Marc B Dec 02 '15 at 14:19
You could decode it with `str.replace(/(\d+);/g, function(t, c){return String.fromCharCode(c);});`. – Sebastian Simon Dec 02 '15 at 14:21
@David Uhh.. nope not really he is doing it with Jquery and so far I know I didn't ask for any Jquery? – RiesvGeffen Dec 02 '15 at 14:22
