CBS
r = CBS (s)
Converts C-style string s to BASIC-style string by unmasking escape codes. Escape codes in the string will be applied to format the string when printed on the screen.
See BCS to masked a BASIC-style string, and see article “Escape codes” for more information about escape codes.
Example
' define some escape codes
const NORMAL = "\e[0m" ' = Cat(0)
const BOLD = "\e[1m" ' = Cat(1)
const BOLD_OFF = "\e[21m" ' = Cat(-1)
const BG_CYAN = "\e[46m"
const TB = "\t"
' Create a string with escape codes
BasicStyleString = BOLD + "BOLD" + BOLD_OFF + TB + TB + BG_CYAN + "COLORFULL BG" + NORMAL
CStyleString = bcs(BasicStyleString)
BackConverted_BasicStyleString = cbs(CStyleString)
print "Basic-style string : "; BasicStyleString
print "C-style string : "; CStyleString
print "Back conversion to basic style: "; BackConverted_BasicStyleString
' Output will be (with colors and in bold)
' Basic-style string : BOLD COLORFULL BG
' C-style string : \e[1mBOLD\e[21m\t\t\e[46mCOLORFULL BG\e[0m
' Back conversion to basic style: BOLD COLORFULL BGCode samples using CBS
