UU Encoding and Decoding

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates how to UU encode and decode. C#

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

Chilkat.Crypt2 crypt = new Chilkat.Crypt2();

string s1;
string s2;
string s3;

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).

Debug.WriteLine(s2);

// UU decode:
Chilkat.Crypt2 crypt2 = new Chilkat.Crypt2();
s3 = crypt2.DecodeString(s2,"ansi","uu");

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

Debug.WriteLine(s3);

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