bs_quote¶

bs_unquote¶

"bs_quote()" "makes safe" strings with backslashed characters in it, so other operations can be done on them. "bs_unquote" goes the other way.

 $string = "foo \<bar\> <baz>";
 $string = bs_quote( $string );
 $string =~ s/<([^>]+)>/"$1"/g;
 $string = bs_unquote( $string );
 $string eq 'foo <bar> "baz"';
