Is there any way to revert back the escaped string?

eval?

bcalik commented 8 years ago

Sorry I am really not a javascript guy. Could you please give an example? I could not do it.

michaelficarra commented 8 years ago 
eval(x)

eval gives me an error.

This one solved my issue, thank you anyway:

var decodedString = JSON.parse("\""+encodedString+"\"").toString();
