UU Encoding and Decoding

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates how to UU encode and decode. Xojo Plugin

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

Dim crypt As New Chilkat.Crypt2

Dim s1 As String
Dim s2 As String
Dim s3 As String

s1 = "This string is to be UU encoded"

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

// UU encode:
s2 = crypt.EncodeString(s1,"ansi","uu")

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

System.DebugLog(s2)

// UU decode:
Dim crypt2 As New Chilkat.Crypt2
s3 = crypt2.DecodeString(s2,"ansi","uu")

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

System.DebugLog(s3)

// Show the file permissions mode and filename found
// in the UU encoded data:
System.DebugLog("UuMode = " + crypt2.UuMode)
System.DebugLog("UuFilename = " + crypt2.UuFilename)
