SQLITE - escape sequences does not work

[dmla]

SQLITE - escape sequences does not work.
I have database (made from example in sqlite plugin). I saved there string like "\t123123123\n\t567567567".
Then from example:

sRule = tRules.Data[nItemRowNumber]["Rule"];
Input.SetText("Input_Info_Display", sRule);

And on the screen I can see:

\t123123123\n\t567567567

Why escape sequences does not work?

Because the string from the database doesn't contain the ASCII value for a tab, it contains the charecter values of "\" and "t". Therefore the script interpreter also sees it that way.

So, can you help me to solve the problem??
Anyway thx for answer.

function Reformat(sSourceString)
	sSourceString = String.Replace(sSourceString, "\\t", "\t", false);
	sSourceString = String.Replace(sSourceString, "\\n", "\n", false);
	sSourceString = String.Replace(sSourceString, "\\r", "\r", false);
	return sSourceString;
end


sRule = tRules.Data[nItemRowNumber]["Rule"];
sRule = Reformat(sRule);
Input.SetText("Input_Info_Display", sRule);

On behalf of the AMS community, please accept this little note of thanks for sharing all the insights re: SQLite stuff, particularly the tips on using escape sequences and variables with queries, et. al. Personally, I'm knee deep in my first real AMS SQLite project, and your posts on these issues have made all the difference.

So, please accept this "100 pound Virtual Fruitcake" as a small token of our collective gratitude.



Like the Hallmark Card Company always says... "It's the thought that counts". While it may not fill your belly, hopefully it will bring a smile to your face.
