SHA256 and HEX

[nhosseinzadeh]

hello, could please add the SHA256 hashing function and also HEX encryption to this amazing repository for ROS 7?
thanks for sharing your works

Hi,
What do you mean by HEX encryption?

[nhosseinzadeh]

Hi, i mean ASCII String to HEX and Decimal number to HEX

[merlinthemagic]

The SHA family is more than a 15min job, so its not going to happen anytime soon. But I implemented a mostly working version of ASCII to base16. Check out the "class" and see if you can contribute the decode function :)

##string to encode in base16 /hexadecimal
:local myStr "My string";

/import flash/MTM/Facts.rsc;
:global MtmFacts;
:local toolObj [($MtmFacts->"get") "getTools()->getEncoding()->getBase16()"];
:put ([($toolObj->"encode") $myStr]); #4D7920737472696E67

You just copied my concept, not the working Base64 function...
I have finished both encoding and decoding,
if you want to copy them you can find them in the usual place.

@rextended Hi,I was gathering notes on base64 and saw your example. You are right its not ready, nor pulled out as a factory method yet.

But, if i have your permission I would love to port your functions to MTM, with proper attribution of course.

No problems.

It's also present the decode function.

@rextended

Did not have time to fully understand the opts you handle, so the initial version does not include them.

Let me know if you want the attribution to say something different.

[rextended]

No, it's ok.
For the options... are optionals ;)
