Yes it does! `format` is my new best friend.
Hmm… why not just throw the whole thing at format? If it has one
escape sequence it might have others and you can’t put one in there
and expect a single `\` to be literal.
@Trevor : Monte makes a good point here - \x is the standard C escape
for a single byte char. If a string format does \x, then it also has to
escape \ as \\ - unless it requires \ to be encoded in \x form (which is
certainly plausible - URL encoding requires that of % which is the
escape character).
Do you have a spec for the escaped strings you are processing?
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
