Re: unescape \n \r etc in string

[cblake]

Perhaps you want strutils.escape? I.e.: 
    
    
    import strutils
    echo escape("\n\t")
    

Output is "\x0A\x09"

Its output is designed to be as portable an 'input' to 
de-escapers/escape-interpreters as possible. So you will see things like \x0A 
and \x09 instead of the \n \t because the former syntax is accepted by more 
string parsers.
