function StrEscapedToString(const S: AnsiString): AnsiString;

Description
StrEscapedToString converts a string which contains escape characters to a string without escape characters by replacing all escape characters with their string counterparts. For example, a string which contains a 'a' sequence will have the 'a' sequence replaced with the BELL character #7. The supported escape characters are:
| Character | Value | Constant | Description |
| a | #7 | BELL | Bell |
| b | #8 | BACKSPACE | Backspace |
| f | #12 | FF | Form Feed |
| n | #10 | LR | Line Feed |
| r | #13 | CR | Carrage Return |
| t | #9 | TAB | Tabulator |
| v | #11 | VT | Vertical Tabulator |
| \ | N/A | N/A | Backslash |
| " | N/A | N/A | Double quotes |
In addition it supports hexadecimal escape sequences (sequences that start with x) and octal escape sequences (sequences starting with '0', '1' ... '9'). The StrStringToEscaped is the "inverse" of this function.
