(Visual Basic 6.0) Decode 2-digit Hex Escaped
Demonstrates how to replace escaped us-ascii chars such as \x7b and \x22 with the chars.
' We have the following string with some us-ascii chars escaped like this:
Dim s As String
s = "\x7b\x22responseContext\x22:\x7b\x22"
' Note: The above escaping does not conform to any standard format (as far as I know).
' Chilkat does not have anything to decode from the above.
' However, we can 1st transform into a standard format, and then decode..
' JSON escapes chars outside us-ascii like this: "Hello, \ud83d\ude03!"
' We can transform the above to this: "\u007b\u0022responseContext\u0022:\u007b\u0022"
' And then decode..
Dim sb As New ChilkatStringBuilder
success = sb.Append(s)
Dim numReplaced As Long
numReplaced = sb.Replace("\x","\u00")
' Now decode from "json" escapes
success = sb.Decode("json","utf-8")
' Show the decoded string
Debug.Print sb.GetAsString()
' Here's the result: {"responseContext":{"
