Hello.
I am having a very hard time trying to encode a file and then decode it again so i can end up with the original file.
I want to transform the content in the original file into base 85, and perhaps 100 charaters or more so that it works faster.. I've tried and succeeded with decimal, hexadecimal and base 64 bases.
Ex. When i have 'abcde' in a text file and i encode it into 97 98 99 100 101, and then decode it back in a different file i have "abcde"
When i use hex base .. i have 'abcde' and then encode it as 61 62 63 64 65.. when i decode it it gives me back abcde..
THe table looks liie this.
Base is the encoding mode.
Alphabet is the letters it has. Example: the decimal alphabet has 10 "letters"( 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9) and a space === 11.
PROPORTION MEANS HOW FAST THE ENCODING IS DONE.
HERE IS MY TABLE

Here is my code for base 64.

THe code for 64 bit actually works. However, i still don't know how to separete the encoded material into orderdly lines.
MY encoding file looks like this...
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
BUt i would like to make it like this..
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Do you guys have any suggestions?
Also, i am trying to create encode85 and decode85.
This is similar to base 64 however, i don't really understand how to come up with the decode and encode code.
Could you guys help me out?
If you have any links or sources that could help me understand this file to text and text to file conversion(base 85 or base 100 or above) ... please post them.
The characters that i am able to use are from character 33 "!" to 126 "~" from the ASCII table.
I am using the first 64 --- from 33 to "97" characters for my 64 encoding and i would like to use the characters 33 to 118 for my 85 encoding.
The last two encoding options use characters that are one after the other.
However, for my last encoding\decoding option, base 100 ore more, the characters after 126 in the ASCII table are on a separate table.
My porblem is that i don't know how to use those characters in my programs since I've only worked with characters from the first table.
Here is the lin k::: http://www.asciitable.com/
summing things up:
- I would like to get help with base85 and base100 or above encoding/decoding --any links about this matter would help.
- If you have any algorithm for base100 or above please if you know something about it or have any link please post them so i can read.
:::::EXTRA INFO::::
I am using TASM32 to compile this assembly source code.
What i've written here are two programs, one that encodes(first source code) and one that decodes text files in base 64.
Once the .exe or .com are present we go to the command pront and write the arguments
I have encode64 for the first program and decode64 for the second program.
For instance when i want to convert a picture to base64 text this is what i do:
encode64 [source] [destination]
eg. encode64 dani.jpg danili.txt
for decoding we write the same thing
decode64 danili.txt output.jpg and we have the original file(dani.jpg)
