Can you get a name out of a battlenet escape sequence?
 

So apparently Blizzard uses the |K escape sequence to display battlenet names.
I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to get the result of this escape sequence as an actual string value.

Nope, that's the entire point.

Damnit.. I'm trying to use string opetations on LFG titles, but for whatever reason they are battlenet escape sequences.
