__FB_UNQUOTE__keyword

Intrinsic define (macro) performed by the compiler.

Syntax

__FB_UNQUOTE__( arg )

Parameters

Name		Description
`arg`		argument

Description

Takes a literal string and converts it back to tokens.
More precisely, __FB_UNQUOTE__ returns a sub-quoted text compared to the one passed through the argument (the argument may already be an over-quoted string, and so the return will be a simple string in this case).

Remarks

Version
