s.escape([flags])
s - str variable.
flags - one of:
| 0 | Replace escape sequences ( '', [], [digits] ) to characters (", new line, character). |
| 1 | Replace unsafe characters ( ", new line, tab, control characters, [ , '' ) to escape sequences. |
| 8 | Urldecode. |
| 9 | Urlencode. Use for URL parameters containing spaces and other unsafe characters. It replaces all characters except 0-9, A-Z, a-z, _, - and . to escape sequences in form %xx, where xx is character code in hexadecimal format. |
| 10 | same as 8, but decode + to space. |
| 11 | same as 9, but encode space to +. |
| 16 | QM 2.3.2. Skip parts enclosed in { }, like with operator F. This flag can be used with flags 0 and 1. With flag 1, in { } replaces " with `. |
Replaces escape sequences with characters, or vice versa.
QM 2.3.0. Removed flag 2 (don't escape characters above 127). Now does not escape these characters. It is because of possible problems with UTF-8.
