string_escape
NOTE: This script is made obsolete by GameMaker's native understanding of these escape sequences. It can longer function and appears here for historical purposes only.
Parses all C-style escape sequences in the given string and returns the parsed string.
// Escape Sequence | Meaning
// -----------------+--------------------------------
// \\ | Literal backslash
// \n | ASCII linefeed (LF)
// \r | ASCII carriage return (CR)
// \t | ASCII horizontal tab (TAB)
// \0 | ASCII null character (NUL)
// \ooo | Character with octal value ooo
// \xhh | Character with hex value hh- string_escape(str)
- Returns the given string with all escape sequences parsed.
COPY/// string_escape(str)
//
// Returns the given string with all escape sequences parsed.
//
// str string with C-style escape sequences, string
