UU Encoding and Decoding

Demonstrates how to UU encode and decode.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

JavaScript

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

var crypt = new CkCrypt2();

var s1;
var s2;
var 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).

console.log(s2);

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

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

console.log(s3);

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