Warren, Although UUENCODE and BASE64 are not the same, there is some similarity and newer versions of UUENCODE have the ability to output to BASE64. If you have any control of the image production process, you might be able to output them in BASE64, then you can use the "base64Decode" command in LiveCode.
If not: I've never tried decoding a uuencoded file with base64Decode, but it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. (I don't think base64Decode will decode uuencoded files, but it's possible that the uuencoded files could actually be BASE64.) If this fails, you could shell an external command. For example, in Mac OS X there are built in commands uuencode and uudecode. Good luck, John On Nov 25, 2011, at 10:41 AM, Warren Kuhl wrote: > I have files (jpg/gif) that are uuencoded.
