A better way?

IGNORECASE=0
while(match(name,"%(([0-9A-F][a-f])|([a-f][0-9A-F])|([a-f][a-f]))"))
{
name=substr(name,1,RSTART-1) toupper(substr(name,RSTART,RLENGTH)) substr(name,RSTART+3)
}
IGNORECASE=1

I can't help feeling that this is a clumsy way of doing things.

It's basically for converting URLs that have hex encoded URLs to the proper
form, which is all uppercase, from ones that may be lowercase.
Is there a better solution?
