@CLARIFY — Returns the original text mangled by @OBSCURE.

Syntax:
%@CLARIFY[obscured-text]

obscured-textobfuscated text

The input obscured-text should be a string returned by the @OBSCURE function; anything else is very unlikely to return meaningful text.

You probably should not write the restored value into an environment variable, an .INI file, or a registry value, or display it to the screen. Just use it immediately, plugging the @CLARIFY function directly into the command which requires the original text. (The ditzy little example below displays a password to the screen because it’s just a ditzy little example.)

set inifile="%userprofile\Passwords.ini"
set password=%@iniread[%inifile,Personal,Password]

echo Password: %@clarify[%password]
unset inifile password
