removing chars in url

[plork123]

i have a url that looks like this

http://localhost:8080/myscript.jsp?username=myname&price=2600&subscriptionenddate=01/01/06

I'm passing through a date like this '01/01/06', but when i do request.getParameter("subscriptionenddate");

The value i get back is this '01%2F01%2F06'

Can someone tell me how i get rid of the %2F characters, so i get the original value '01/01/06' back

Thanks for any help
