untexlabel

Build a string which used with a TeX interpreter shows exactly the string as it is ...

This function is useful to create a string label which use a Tex interpreter and avoid that character as "_" or "^" or "/" are iterpreted as Tex commands.

Example:
MYSTR = 'mydir\bfx_0.dat';

If you use MYSTR in a text object with the Tex interpreter activated, it will show something unexpected because "\bf" and "_" will be considered as Tex commands and will produce the relative output on the screen (see text function help for details).

If you use untexlabel(MYSTR) in the text object, than the string will be shown exactly as it is.
Furthermore you could use, for example, ['\bf',untexlabel(MYSTR)] as text string to show it all as bold font.
