To Z85, base85 (toz85)

Description

Returns a Z85 string from the given byte array. This is the inverse of the From Z85, base85 (fromz85) operation. Check the Make byte array (mkboxar) operation for more information.

How does it work in the search window?

This operation needs only one argument:

Argument

Data type

Argument

Data type

Boxar mandatory

boxar(int1)

The data type of the new column is string.

Example

We want to transform the values in our bytesTransferred column in the demo.ecommerce.data table into byte arrays, and then transform them into Z85 strings. First, use the Make byte array operation to add a new column that transforms the integer values in the bytesTransferred column into byte arrays (byteArray column). Then add a new column using the To Z85, base85 operation. The arguments needed are:

  • Boxar - byteArray column

Click Create column and after applying the operation, you will see the following results:

How does it work in LINQ?

Use the operator select... as...  and add the operation syntax to create the new column. This is the syntax of the To Z85, base85 operation:

  • toz85(boxar(int1))

Example

Copy the following LINQ script and try the previous example on the demo.ecommerce.data table.

from demo.ecommerce.data select mkboxar(bytesTransferred) as byteArray, toz85(byteArray) as Z85string
