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

Dim crypt As New Chilkat.Crypt2

Dim s1 As String
Dim s2 As String
Dim s3 As String

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:
Dim crypt2 As 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)
