Adding javascript function to jMeter

I am trying to get a javascript function work with jMeter test plan.
It is used to decode a string.

function decode(str) {
    var strtodecrypt = str.split("-");
    var msglength = strtodecrypt.length;
    decrypted_message = "";
    for (var position = 0; position < msglength; position++) {
        ascii_num_byte_to_decrypt = strtodecrypt[position];
        ascii_num_byte_to_decrypt = ascii_num_byte_to_decrypt / 2;
        ascii_num_byte_to_decrypt = ascii_num_byte_to_decrypt - 5;
        decrypted_byte = String.fromCharCode(ascii_num_byte_to_decrypt);
        decrypted_message += decrypted_byte;
    }
    return decrypted_message;
}

I have tried to use BSF Post processor, but don't know what is the exact syntax i need to use. I want to use this function to post a jMeter variable as a parameter in one of the HTTP request.

Edit: I am currently using following script in the BSF post processor. userResponse does not show in debub sampler. Do i need to add any reference to use String.fromCharCode(ascii_num_byte_to_decrypt)?

var str="142";
var strtodecrypt = str.split("-");
var msglength = strtodecrypt.length;
decrypted_message = "";

for (var position = 0; position < msglength; position++) {
    ascii_num_byte_to_decrypt = strtodecrypt[position];
    ascii_num_byte_to_decrypt = ascii_num_byte_to_decrypt / 2;
    ascii_num_byte_to_decrypt = ascii_num_byte_to_decrypt - 5;
    decrypted_byte = String.fromCharCode(ascii_num_byte_to_decrypt);
    decrypted_message += decrypted_byte;
}

vars.put("userResponse",decrypted_message);

For anyone reading this years later:

Calling javascript function is possible from a BSF PostProcessor.

You need to define your function higher up in the file than where it is used.

This means this works:

function decode(str) {
    (...... do stuff......)
    return something;
}

var bar = decode("foo");
vars.put("someVariableName", bar);

However this doesn't work:

var bar = decode("foo"); // <--- Compile error, undefined function 'decode'
vars.put("someVariableName", bar);

function decode(str) {
    (...... do stuff......)
    return something;
}

You should WebDriver plugin for that. It can be configured as IE/Firefox/Chrome or even Selenium.

The documentation here

This is how you configure IE web driver

You can try to use as well JSR223 Sampler with script language set to javascript (Language: JavaScript).
It will process your script (2nd version), variable set and available in debug Sampler results.
