vio1ator Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Is there a udf for compressing/decompressing strings ? Example, $x = StringCompress("hello world") $y = StringDecompress($x) $x will contain the compressed string. $y will contain "hello world".

vio1ator Posted April 18, 2008 Author Posted April 18, 2008 I want to create a simple chat program for my school project. I was hoping that such a function will save bandwidth.
PsaltyDS Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 I want to create a simple chat program for my school project. I was hoping that such a function will save bandwidth.The strings will be too short for that to help. Compression has it's own overhead and is only effective on much larger data sets than "Hello world." With almost any compression algorithm, a string that short would be LONGER after compression than it started. Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

weaponx Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 I agree. I could see the desire to encrypt the string though.
siriom Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 I have 281 char long strings. Is there any compression algorith already implemented in au3 ? or do we write our own ?
monoceres Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Several. However if you want to compress the text directly without writing them to a file first you have fewer options.http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...ory+compressionhttp://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...284&hl=zlibIf you'd like to work with files I recommend these:http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=85094http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...524&hl=zlibhttp://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...3425&hl=zip Broken link? PM me and I'll send you the file!
