Demonstrates how to UU encode and decode.

Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

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

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Crypt2")
set crypt = CreateObject("Chilkat.Crypt2")

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).

outFile.WriteLine(s2)

' UU decode:
' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Crypt2")
set crypt2 = CreateObject("Chilkat.Crypt2")
s3 = crypt2.DecodeString(s2,"ansi","uu")

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

outFile.WriteLine(s3)

' Show the file permissions mode and filename found
' in the UU encoded data:
outFile.WriteLine("UuMode = " & crypt2.UuMode)
outFile.WriteLine("UuFilename = " & crypt2.UuFilename)

outFile.Close
