Dear All, I have been playing for a while with files that have small bits of FlateDecode, ASCIIHexDecode, ASCII85Decode, and LZWDecode streams. My familiarity with these compression methods is limited to using the unix uncompress, gunzip and other compiled commands. At one time I was able to conveniently decode base64 fragments in emacs using the following commands.
base64-decode-region Command: Base64-decode the region between BEG and END. hexlify-buffer and dehexlify-buffer Is there a solution within emacs or someone has a method to use libraries or to translate code from python/ruby etc. I could not find any (apropos decode) with reference to the above compression methods. In ruby, FlateDecode and ASCII85Decode can be decompressed with existing ruby module which are zlib and Ascii85. Thank You. P.S. I am including links that may help anyone interested. http://www.frugalcorner.com/lzw/lzwfree.html http://groups.google.com/group/comp.compression/browse_thread/thread/2d88635982a60b54/15fc41f6e3556d9?q=Decompressing+LZW+compression+from+PDF#015fc41f6e3556d9 _______________________________________________ gnu-emacs-sources mailing list gnu-emacs-sources@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-emacs-sources
