Contributor: SWAG SUPPORT TEAM Function EncryptDecrypt(S : String : K : String) : String; Var I,Q : Integer; O : String[255]; begin Q := 1; O := ""; For I := 1 to Length(S) Do begin O := O + Chr(Ord(S[I]) Xor Ord(K[Q])); Inc(Q); If Q > Length(K) Then Q := 1; end; EncryptDecrypt := O; end; A couple of thoughts on this. 1. If K is short then the decryption is very easy. 2. The routine would be VERY slow as it is using String concatenation. It would be MUCH faster if the O := "" line was changed to O[0] := S[0] and the O := O + ... line was replaced With - O[I] := ... TeeCee
