User Manual
STRDEESCAPE is used to convert an escaped string variable in the same memory space that the
string exists in. Given all 3 byte escape sequences are reduced to a single byte, the result will
never be a string longer than the original.
STRDEESCAPE (string)
SUBROUTINE
Returns
None
string now contains de-escaped characters converted as follows:
\r
\n
\t
\\
“”
\HH


Local Stack Frame Underflow

Local Stack Frame Overflow

String De-Escape Error (E.g chrs after the \ are not recognized)
Arguments
string
byRef string AS STRING
The string to be converted in-situ.
If a parsing error is encountered a nonfatal error is generated which needs to be handled
otherwise the application will abort.
Note:
string cannot be a string constant, e.g. “the cat”, but must be a string variable and
so if you must use a const string then first save it to a temp string variable and then
pass it to the function
Interactive Command:
NO
DIM S$,T$
S$=”Hello\5C40world”
PRINT strlen(S$)
strdeescape(S$)
PRINT strlen(S$)
strdeescape(S$)
PRINT strlen(S$)
‘outputs 15
‘outputs 13 S$=”Hello\40world”
‘outputs 11 S$=”Hello@world”
STRDEESCAPE is a core function.
