unescape(string) Method

---

The unescape() method removes escape sequences from a string and replaces them with the relevant characters.

Syntax

unescape(string)

Parameter	Description
string	A string literal or string variable from which escape sequences are to be removed

Returns

A string with Unicode sequences replaced by the equivalent ASCII characters.

Usage

The unescape() method is the reverse of the escape() method; it removes escape sequences from a string and replaces them with the relevant characters.

Example

The following line of code displays the string in its parameter with the escape sequence replaced by printable characters. Note that %20 is the Unicode representation of the space character. Note also that this example would normally appear on a single line, as strings cannot be broken by a newline.

TheApplication().RaiseErrorText(unescape("http://obscushop.com/ texis/%20%20showcat.html?catid=%232029&rg=r133"));
