OK, so I have written a small script that gets a slogan from http://www.sloganizer.net using whatever input the user wants.

However, if the user enters certain characters, it will return the special code for them in the string.

For example, If the user enters a ", it shows in the debugger as: \"

Is there any way to convert these back to their corresponding characters? I assume there probably is using regular expression, but I just can't get my head around them, so any help would be appreciated.
