From Z85, base85 (fromz85)

Description

Creates a byte array from a valid Z85 string. This is the inverse of the To Z85, base85 (toz85) operation. For more information about byte arrays, see the Make byte array (mkboxar) operation.

How does it work in the search window?

Select Create column in the search window toolbar, then select the From Z85, base85 operation. You need to specify one argument:

Argument

Data type

Argument

Data type

Z85 string mandatory

string

The data type of the values in the new column is boxar(int1).

Example

In the my.upload.sample.data table, we want to transform the strings in the Z85String column into byte arrays. To do it, we will create a new column using the From Z85, base85 operation.

The arguments needed to create the new column are:

  • Z85 string - Z85String column

Click Create column and you will see the following result:

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 for the From Z85, base85 operation:

  • fromz85(Z85_string)

Example

You can copy the following LINQ script and try the above example on the my.upload.sample.data table. As said above, keep in mind that you must download and upload the file provided before to your Devo domain.

from my.upload.sample.data select split(message, ";", 8) as Z85String, fromz85(Z85String) as Z85Array
