You can use JavaScript function unescape() for this.Str="
function myFunction() {
 var str = \x22The best things in life are free\x22;
 var patt = new RegExp(\x22e\x22);
 var res = patt.test(str);
 document.getElementById(\x22demo\x22).innerHTML = res;
}
" document.write(unescape(str));Output:- function myFunction() { var str = "The best things in life are free"; var patt = new RegExp("e"); var res = patt.test(str); document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = res; }
