I would not have expected that to succeed. readLines drops cr's and lf's and it certainly seems possible that those characters might be encrypted values randomly sprinkled through the image. What happens when you read it as raw? (may need to first get `file.info` to determine file length.) perhaps something along the lines of foo <- readBin( infl, "raw", file.info(infl)[1, "size"]) -- David >> tmp <- checkpw(junk, foo) > Error in hashpw(password, hash) : Invalid salt > > Thus demonstrating that I don't know what I'm doing. > > If it's easy to expand, as you mention, I would indeed appreciate it. > > -Don > > > -- > Don MacQueen > > Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory > 7000 East Ave., L-627 > Livermore, CA 94550 > 925-423-1062 > > > > > > On 11/7/16, 5:29 PM, "Bob Rudis" <b...@rud.is> wrote: > >> Perhaps https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/bcrypt/index.html >> might be of assistance. >> >> If not, drop a note back to the list as it'll be trivial to expand on >> that to give you an R alternative to Perl. >> >> On Mon, Nov 7, 2016 at 5:47 PM, MacQueen, Don <macque...@llnl.gov> wrote: >>> I have a file containing encrypted contents.
