How can I convert these ASCI codes to Unicode?

Question

jslint appears to complain here:

Unexpected '\' before 'X'.
    Priv.SELECTOR = /^(@|#|\.)([\x20-\x7e]+)$/;

Perhaps if I used Unicode things would work?

Answer 1

It seems that \\uXXXX notation is recognized by jslint as valid. Use

Priv.SELECTOR = /^([@#.])([\u0020-\u007e]+)$/;

or

Priv.SELECTOR = new RegExp("^([@#.])([\\u0020-\\u007e]+)$");

Note that the backslashes must be doubled inside a RegExp constructor.
