UU Encoding and Decoding

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates how to UU encode and decode. Lianja

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

loCrypt = createobject("CkCrypt2")

lcS1 = "This string is to be UU encoded"

loCrypt.UuMode = "666"
loCrypt.UuFilename = "something.txt"

// UU encode:
lcS2 = loCrypt.EncodeString(lcS1,"ansi","uu")

// Note: Call crypt.Encode instead of crypt.EncodeString
// to UU encode binary bytes (i.e. non-text binary data).

? lcS2

// UU decode:
loCrypt2 = createobject("CkCrypt2")
lcS3 = loCrypt2.DecodeString(lcS2,"ansi","uu")

// Note: Likewise, call crypt.Decode to decode non-text binary data.

? lcS3

// Show the file permissions mode and filename found
// in the UU encoded data:
? "UuMode = " + loCrypt2.UuMode
? "UuFilename = " + loCrypt2.UuFilename
