UU Encoding and Decoding

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates how to UU encode and decode. C++

#include <CkCrypt2.h>

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

    CkCrypt2 crypt;

    const char *s1 = 0;
    const char *s2 = 0;
    const char *s3 = 0;

    s1 = "This string is to be UU encoded";

    crypt.put_UuMode("666");
    crypt.put_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).

    std::cout << s2 << "\r\n";

    // UU decode:
    CkCrypt2 crypt2;
    s3 = crypt2.decodeString(s2,"ansi","uu");

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

    std::cout << s3 << "\r\n";

    // Show the file permissions mode and filename found
    // in the UU encoded data:
    std::cout << "UuMode = " << crypt2.uuMode() << "\r\n";
    std::cout << "UuFilename = " << crypt2.uuFilename() << "\r\n";
    }
