Caveats

Examples

<lsl> string str = "http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL Portal";

default {

   state_entry()
   {
       llOwnerSay("Plain string:\n\t" + str);
       // output: "http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL Portal"
       llOwnerSay("Escaped string:\n\t" + llEscapeURL(str));
       // output: "http%3A%2F%2Fwiki%2Esecondlife%2Ecom%2Fwiki%2FLSL%20Portal"
       llOwnerSay("Escaped string unescaped again:\n\t" + llUnescapeURL( llEscapeURL(str) ));
       // output: "http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL Portal"
       // because escaping and unescaping are exact opposite
       // and unescaping an escaped string returns the original


       //  For readability's sake it would make more sense to do:
       llOwnerSay("For readability's sake:\n\t" + "http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/" + llEscapeURL("LSL Portal"));
       // output: "http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL%20Portal"
   }

}
