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

crypt = Chilkat::CkCrypt2.new()

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).

print s2 + "\n";

# UU decode:
crypt2 = Chilkat::CkCrypt2.new()
s3 = crypt2.decodeString(s2,"ansi","uu")

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

print s3 + "\n";

# Show the file permissions mode and filename found
# in the UU encoded data:
print "UuMode = " + crypt2.uuMode() + "\n";
print "UuFilename = " + crypt2.uuFilename() + "\n";
