Method Description

WbString.fromQuotedPrintable()

Extract the original string from a quoted-printable encoding of that string.

See Also

WbString.toQuotedPrintable()   

Syntax

WbString = WbString.fromQuotedPrintable(input_string)

Parameters

The 'WbString.fromQuotedPrintable' method takes 1 parameter:

Name Type/Value Range/Length Description
input_stringstring  Required. String to be decoded

Results

The 'WbString.fromQuotedPrintable' method returns WbString:

Type/Value Range/Length Description
WbString   Returns a WbString instance containing the decoded string

Remarks

Extracts a quoted-printable encoded string such as might be recovered from a received email message and returns the original string wrapped in an WbString instance. This is the inverse of toQuotedPrintable().

Note: This is a method method on WbString and so is invoked as WbString.fromQuotedPrintable(str);

Example

quoted-printable is a simple text encoding that allows 'text' content to be transferred within the limitations of the SMTP protocol. The translation for the most part leaves the text in a readable form.

Some characters are encoded in hex using '=' as an escape sequence and all lines are wrapped at or before 76 characters.

The method returns a new WbString instance that to all intents and purposes can be treated as a standard Javascript string object.
