feeding a private rsa key through the shell to get the public

[Thierry Douez]

Hi,

this works:

on mouseUp
   local _code, _decode,str2code,Result_code,Result_decode

   put "Live is beautiful" into str2code
   put "echo -n " &quote& str2code &quote & " | openssl enc -base64" into
_code
   put shell( _code ) into Result_code
   put "echo -n " &quote& Result_code &quote & " | openssl enc -base64 -d"
into _decode
   put shell( _decode ) into Result_decode

   put "Want to encode: " & str2code &cr& \
         "Result coding: " & Result_code &cr& \
         "Result decoding: " & Result_decode &cr& \
         "Equals?"  & ( str2code is Result_decode )
end mouseUp

and in the message box:

Want to encode: Live is beautiful
Result coding: TGl2ZSBpcyBiZWF1dGlmdWw=

Result decoding: Live is beautiful
Equals?true


Regards,

Thierry
