Core Function UUEncode
From Sputnik Wiki
UUEncode( <expression> )
Contents |
Description
Encodes a string using the uuencode algorithm.
Uuencode translates all strings (including binary's ones) into printable characters, making them safe for network transmissions.
Uuencoded data is about 35% larger than the original.
Parameters
expression
The data to be encoded.
Can be a string or binary variable.
If it is neither of the above it will be converted into a string and used anyway.
Return Value
Success: Returns the uuencoded data
Failure: Returns empty string.
Remarks
This function produces results that are equal to PHPs.
If you require results equal to Perl try the UUEncode found on the Pack( ) function.
Example
my $Encoded = UUEncode("Testy"); echo "Encoded: $Encoded\n"; my $Decoded = UUDecode($Encoded); echo "Decoded: $Decoded\n"; # Prints # Encoded: %5&5S='D` # ` # # Decoded: Testy
Perl compatible UUEncode a string
my $Encoded = PerlUUEncode("Testy"); echo "Encoded: $Encoded\n"; my $Decoded = PerlUUDecode($Encoded); echo "Decoded: $Decoded\n"; # Prints # Encoded: %5&5S='D` # # Decoded: Testy Function PerlUUEncode ( $str ) { return (string)pack("u", $str); } Function PerlUUDecode ( $str ) { return unpack("u", $str, 3); } # Notice this Perl compatible one produces a slightly # different text to the one above? Of course both are # valid and Unpack() will read both the Perl/PHP styles # with no problem # Here we see unpack() can decode PHP uuencoded strings $PHPEncoded = UUEncode("Testy"); my $DecodedPHP = PerlUUDecode($PHPEncoded); echo "Decoded PHP: $DecodedPHP\n"; # Prints: Decoded PHP: Testy # Here we see UUDecode() can handle Perl encoded ones $PerlEncoded = PerlUUEncode("Testy"); my $DecodedPerl = UUDecode($PerlEncoded); echo "Decoded Perl: $DecodedPerl\n"; # Prints: Decoded Perl: Testy
Using Unicode
$Str = "Testy ehehe XD!こんにちは"; $PerlEncoded = PerlUUEncode($Str); $PHPEncoded = UUEncode($Str); echo "Encoded Perl: $PerlEncoded\n"; echo "Encoded PHP: $PHPEncoded\n"; my $DecodedPerl = PerlUUDecode($PerlEncoded); echo "Decoded Perl: $DecodedPerl\n"; msgbox $DecodedPerl; Function PerlUUEncode ( $str ) { return (string)pack("u", $str); } Function PerlUUDecode ( $str ) { return unpack("u", $str, 3); }
