String Exceptions (Escape Sequences)

Description

In a string in an Engine script an escape sequence can be specified.
The escape sequence is introduced by a backslash (\).
This is followed by an identifier that specifies the escape sequence to be performed:
Identifier   Meaning
\   Creates a backslash (\) in the string.
"   Creates a quotation mark (") in the string.
n   Creates a newline in the string (analogous to
   @NewLine).
a   Creates a bell signal (sound) on output.
r   Creates a CR in the string.
t   Creates a tab character in the string.
XZZ   Creates a character whose char value is specified
   in hexadecimal in ZZ. Exactly two digits must always
   be specified.
DZZZ   Creates a character whose char value is specified
   in decimal in ZZZ. Exactly three digits must always
   be specified.

Examples:

Input string   Result string
"Hello \"12345\""   "Hello "12345""
"C:\\NOTES\\TEST.NSF"   "C:\NOTES\TEST.NSF"
"@Char(50) corresponds to \"\D050\""   "@Char(50) corresponds to "2""
