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

oCrypt := CreateObject("Chilkat.Crypt2")

oCrypt:UuMode := "666"
oCrypt:UuFilename := "something.txt"

//  UU encode:
cS2 := oCrypt:EncodeString(cS1, "ansi", "uu")

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

? cS2

//  UU decode:
oCrypt2 := CreateObject("Chilkat.Crypt2")
cS3 := oCrypt2:DecodeString(cS2, "ansi", "uu")

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

? cS3

//  Show the file permissions mode and filename found
//  in the UU encoded data:
? "UuMode = " + oCrypt2:UuMode
? "UuFilename = " + oCrypt2:UuFilename
