Encoding files?

Postby SuperSonic » Tue Dec 06, 2011 12:28 am

Hey everyone. I was wondering how I can encode a file using GE script. To be more specific, I want a bit of code that will open a file and then read each character. For each character it reads, it will add a certain number to it's ID and store the result in an array. So for example, it would take the string "abc" and turn it into "def". See what I mean? :D

I promise to give points to anyone who can solve the problem. Thank you :P

file "abc.c" contains
abc

output
def odvw#olqh#ri#iloh#khuh1

is that right?

Great, it works just fine. +1 :wink:

However, I'm a complete newb when it comes to file Input/Output so could you answer a few questions for me? :roll:
So even though the code works, I have no clue what all of the functions mean. Could you explain them to me?
If I wanted to overwrite the abc.c file, what code should I use?
I will have to decode the file as well so what code should I use for that?

Actually, I think I figured that part out myself but could you still answer the other two questions I had? :)

here's some additional code for writing to file
and an extra function called codeString (which encodes and decodes depending on the id you pass it)
each line of code is commented
