I have a string, defined at run time, that includes standard printf escape
sequences (such as \t and \r). I'd like to change these back to tab and
carriage return. I tried using sprintf(StringBuf,OriginalString), but this
just copied OriginalString to StringBuf without expanding the escape
sequences. I note that the "format string" is defined as const char, so I
guess it is evaluated at compile time instead of run time (especially to
deal with a variable number of % substitutions). So, is there a standard
function to expand out the escape sequences in a run-time defined string?
Or do I have to write my own?

THANKS!

Harold
