I believe it gives you escape characters in some cases.

```auto
var segments = p1.split('/');

// Get the last segment
var lastSegment = segments[segments.length - 1];

// Split the last segment by question mark or hash, if present
var fileName = lastSegment.split(/[?#]/)[0];

// Decode URL-encoded characters
var decodedFileName = decodeURIComponent(fileName);

// Return the decoded file name
return decodedFileName;

```

Added a step to decode those.
