I've got an app I'm writing that scans a barcode. &nbsp;The barcode only can return text/a string - which I'm going to format as variables. &nbsp;I need something that interprets the returned text - and then parses it out as the appropriate values.

Let's say I have a javascript string formatted like:<br />
<br />
&quot;var1='hello'&amp;var2='value2<wbr />'&amp;var3='va<wbr />lue3'&quot; - is there a way for me to parse that/evaluate it turn that string into actual variables?<br />
<br />
Thanks!
