ESLSTR Function

Converts escape sequences within a string to the required characters.

 

DecodeString(EncodedString_SV)

Parameters

EncodedString_SV

An ESL string containing escape sequences.

Returns

An ESL string containing special characters.

Description

Certain special characters cannot be passed between local application (e.g. ESLODBC.exe) and the main ESL application. This function allows the string returned by the local application to be displayed correctly. Each escape sequence is initiated by a back slash character. If the character following a back slash does not represent a known sequence, then the characters are unchanged, that is, the single back slash is returned in the string.
