Note that there are two special escape sequences for hexadecimal and octal bytes. The hexadecimal
escape sequence is a "backslash-x" followed by exactly two hexadecimal characters (each from 0 thru F)
that represents the desired byte. The octal escape sequence is a backslash followed by three digits from 0
thru 7. These three digits represent the desired byte value in octal.
*
The escape sequences used by CueServer are the same (or very similar) as those used by several popular
programming languages, including C, C++, Java, JavaScript, JSON, Objective-C, PHP, Python, and SQL.
Value Substitutions
In addition to the escape sequences above that allow special characters to be inserted into a string,
CueServer also supports a variety of escape sequences that are used to substitute special values into a
string.
These values change depending on the context in which the string is being used. CueServer will substitute
the escape sequence with the actual value at the time that the string is being used. Each substitution is only
valid within the context(s) supported.
The following table shows the supported escape sequences for Value Substitutions:
