Sorry about the delay - I started this interesting exercise, but got
distracted .
Here's a simple script that handles uuencoding a file. It's been
moderately, but not thoroughly, tested.
on mouseUp
answer file "Select a file"
if it is empty then exit mouseUp
put URL ("binfile:" & it) into tOriginal
-- put "Cat" into tOriginal
put uuencode(tOriginal, "000", "text") into tEncoded
put tEncoded after field "fLog"
put CR & the number of chars in tOriginal && the number of chars in
tEncoded after field "fLog"
end mouseUp
function uuencode pData, pPermission, pName
put 1 into tBase
put "begin" && pPermission && pName & CR into tOutput
put the number of chars in pData into tLen
put numToChar(0) & numToChar(0) & numToChar(0) after pData
put empty into tLine
repeat until tBase > tLen-2 -- i.e. all full words before the padding
put charToNum(byte tBase of pData) * 256 * 256 into t
add charToNum(byte tBase+1 of pData) * 256 to t
add charToNum(byte tBase+2 of pData) to t
put numToChar((t mod 64)+32) into t4
put t div 64 into t
put numToChar((t mod 64)+32) into t3
put t div 64 into t
put numToChar((t mod 64)+32) into t2
put t div 64 into t
put numToChar(t+32) & t2 & t3 & t4 after tLine
if the number of chars in tLine = 60 then
put numToChar(the number of chars in tLine * 3 / 4 + 32) &
tLine & CR after tOutput
put empty into tLine
end if
add 3 to tBase
end repeat
if tLine is not empty then
put numToChar(the number of chars in tLine * 3 / 4 + 32) & tLine
& CR after tOutput
end if
put "`" & CR & "end" & CR after tOutput
return tOutput
end uuencode

Hi Matthias,
With LiveCode on Mac OS X you could use a shell() command and let the
'uuencode' line command do the work. Not sure about Windows... there
doesn't seem to be a direct way to uuencode a file - no 'uuencode'
command, nor any way to do it using PowerShell (AFAIK). Do you feel
like writing your own LC uu library? That should be doable.

Hi,
how can i uuencode data with LiveCode?
Do i need 3rd party tools for that? i cannot find anything about it,
when searching the dictionary for uuencode.
