.Net dev here, somewhat new to java. I have the following snippet of code. I’m trying to get the last segment of the the encoded url, but as you can see it’s cutting off the trailing “%25” and making that just “%”. That causes the URlDecoder.Decode to fail because the string is no longer properly encoded.

Ideally I’d like to use Path.getName() because from what I gather that won’t include query params. Also I’d really like to avoid 3rd party libraries if possible (this seems like a pretty basic task). Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong here, is there a way to get Path.getName() to not cut off the encoded “%25” at the end?

    var playerSrcPath = URI.create("https://www.speedrun.com/api/v1/guests/Please+Submit+to+Any%25").getPath();
    var path = Paths.get(playerSrcPath);
    var lastSegment = path.getName(path.getNameCount() - 1).toString();         
    System.out.println(lastSegment); 

    // this errors, lastSegment got cut off, no longer properly encoded.
    var playerAbbr = URLDecoder.decode(lastSegment, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);        
    System.out.println(playerAbbr);
