xml.entityDecode

Syntax xml.entityDecode (encodedString, flAlphaEntities = false, flSkipMalformedEntities = false)

Params encodedString is a string that may contain entities encoded according to the W3C's XML 1.0 specification.

flAlphaEntities is an optional boolean parameter that determines if double-quotes, ampersands, left angle brackets and right angle brackets are to be decoded.

flSkipMalformedEntities is an optional parameter new in Frontier 8.0. If true, then malformed numerical entities which either contain non-numeric characters or which lack an ending semicolon character don't cause an error. They're passed through as-is.

Action Returns the decoded string.

Returns A string.

Examples xml.entityDecode ("Olejováø "skvrna" na", true)

   » "Olejováø \"skvrna" na"

xml.entityDecode ("Oh the <buzzing> of the bees & the "sycamore" trees..", true)
