UU Encoding and Decoding

Demonstrates how to UU encode and decode. DataFlex

Procedure Test
    Handle hoCrypt

    String sTemp1

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

    Set ComUuFilename Of hoCrypt To "something.txt"

    // UU encode:
    Get ComEncodeString Of hoCrypt sS1 "ansi" "uu" To sS2

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

    Showln sS2

    // UU decode:
    Get Create (RefClass(cComChilkatCrypt2)) To hoCrypt2

        Send CreateComObject of hoCrypt2
    End
    Get ComDecodeString Of hoCrypt2 sS2 "ansi" "uu" To sS3

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

    Showln sS3

    // Show the file permissions mode and filename found
    // in the UU encoded data:
    Get ComUuMode Of hoCrypt2 To sTemp1
    Showln "UuMode = " sTemp1
    Get ComUuFilename Of hoCrypt2 To sTemp1
    Showln "UuFilename = " sTemp1
