How to convert a string containing escape sequences to its unescaped form in Golang?

In Golang, you can use the strconv.Unquote function to convert a string containing escape sequences to its unescaped form. Here's an example:

package main import ( "fmt" "strconv" ) func main() { escaped := `Hello\tWorld\n` unescaped, err := strconv.Unquote(escaped) if err != nil { fmt.Println("Error:", err) return } fmt.Println(unescaped) }

The strconv.Unquote function parses the provided string and returns the unescaped version. It handles common escape sequences like \t (tab), \n (newline), \" (double quote), and \\ (backslash), among others.

In the example above, the input string Hello\tWorld\n will be converted to Hello World\n (with a tab character followed by literal characters \n).
