When using String functions that accept a String value parameter directly, you should be aware of expectations with respect to escape characters and escape sequences (see 20152753 Escape Sequences, below).


For String functions that accept a variable name parameter, the fully resolved value of the variable by the specified name will be used as the String value argument. The variable must be fully resolvable and must not contain an unresolved function.
