printable-string

================

Convert non-printable chars in string into their printable form.

Installation

------------

`npm install printable-string --save`

Usage

-----

``` js

    var print = require(printable-string)

    console.log print("\x00 \t \v \u038b")     // -> \x00 \t \v \u038b

    console.log print("\x00 \t \v \u038b", {uppercase: true})     // -> \X00 \t \v \U038B

```

Prefix `0x` will be used if the char code in ASCII range and the `\u` for the codes above 256.

Control codes will be converted to their literal expression as following:

```

    0x07 -> '\a'      // Bell

    0x08 -> '\b'      // Backspace

    0x09 -> '\t'      // Horizontal Tab

    0x0a -> '\n'      // Line feed

    0x0b -> '\v'      // Vertical Tab

    0x0c -> '\f'      // Form feed

    0x0c -> '\r'      // Carriage return

```
