unescape_string

Unescapes a whole escaped string.

If any of the characters in illegal_characters or the NUL character appears as an escaped character in escaped_string , then that is an error and null will be returned. This is useful if you want to avoid for instance having a slash being expanded in an escaped path element, which might confuse pathname handling.

Example: Unescape strings:

public static int main (string[] args) {
	string escaped1 = "foo%2Fmy%20ressource.txt";
	string escaped2 = "foo/my%20ressource.txt";


	// Output: ``Unescaped: "(null)"``
	string fragment = Uri.unescape_string (escaped1, "/");
	print ("Unescaped: \"%s\"\n", fragment);

	// Output: ``Unescaped: "foo/my ressource.txt"``
	fragment = Uri.unescape_string (escaped1);
	print ("Unescaped: \"%s\"\n", fragment);

	// Output: ``Unescaped: "foo/my ressource.txt"``
	fragment = Uri.unescape_string (escaped2);
	print ("Unescaped: \"%s\"\n", fragment);

	return 0;
}
