__FB_UNQUOTE__
Intrinsic define (macro) performed by the compiler.
Syntax
`
__FB_UNQUOTE__( arg )
`
Parameters
`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).
Example
`
#macro m( arg )
Scope
Var v1 = arg
#print TypeOf(v1)
Print v1
Var v2 = __FB_UNQUOTE__( arg )
#print TypeOf(v2)
Print v2
End Scope
#endmacro
m("""Hello""")
m("1")
Sleep
/' Compiler output:
STRING

`
#define X __FB_QUOTE__( Print "hello" )
#macro Y( arg )
__FB_UNQUOTE__( arg )
#endmacro
Print X
Y( X )
/' Output:
print "hello"
hello
