Usage

unescape(x)

Parameters
x A string with hexadecimal sequences to escape.

Returns
A string decoded from a URL-encoded parameter.

Description
Top-level function; evaluates the parameter x as a string, decodes the string from URL-encoded format (converting all hexadecimal sequences to ASCII characters), and returns the string.

Example
The following example illustrates the escape-to-unescape conversion process.

 escape("Hello{[World]}"); 

The escaped result is as follows:

 ("Hello%7B%5BWorld%5D%7D'); 

Use unescape to return to the original format:

 unescape("Hello%7B%5BWorld%5D%7D") 

The result is as follows:

 Hello{[World]}
