V_DECRYPT()
Decrypt a variable that has been encrypted with V_ENCRYPT()
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
V_DECRYPT( <cEncrypted_string> ) -> cOriginal
Arguments
<cEncrypted_string> is a variable previously encrypted with
the V_ENCRYPT() function.
Returns
V_DECRYPT() returns a string as it was before a call to V_ENCRYPT().
Description
V_DECRYPT() will decrypt a string that has been previously encrypted
with the V_ENCRYPT() function. The string will only be decrypted
properly if the V_SETKEY() function has been called with the same key
that was in effect when the V_ENCRYPT() originally scrambled the
<cEncrypted_string>.
Examples
LOCAL cSecure, cOriginal
// Set the key to my dog's name.
V_SETKEY( "Tally" )
// Encrypt a character string. Store the result in <cSecure>.
cSecure = V_ENCRYPT( "Just try to decode <cSecure> without my dog." )
// Later, decode the secured string with the help of my golden.
// The call to V_SETKEY() is redundant because the program has not
// terminated and it has not been set to a different V_SETKEY().
V_SETKEY( "Tally" )
cOriginal = V_DECRYPT( cSecure )
