This behaves the same as atom_string/2, but only in "string direction" and doesn't handle number on "Text" position.

Remembering that the backtick indicates a list of codes:

?- X=`hello`.
X = [104,101,108,108,111].

Generating a the second argument:

?- text_to_string(14,X).
ERROR: Type error: `text' expected, found `14' (an integer)

?- text_to_string(foo,X).
X = "foo".

?- text_to_string([h,e,l,l,o],X).
X = "hello".

?- text_to_string(`hello`,X).
X = "hello".

Accepting the second argument, which can by anytext:

?- text_to_string(`hello`,hello).
true.

?- text_to_string(`hello`,"hello").
true.

?- text_to_string(`hello`,`hello`).
true.

?- text_to_string(`hello`,[h,e,l,l,o]).
true.
