Contributor: SWAG SUPPORT TEAM {The following very simple routine will encrypt and decrypt a Text File a line at a time. The CR/LF is left unencrypted and the algorithm ensures that no encrypted Character can be < asciiz 127 *provided that* the Text For encrypting has no hi-bit Characters. Obviously this is just a skeleten example (untested) With no error checking but it should demonstrate what you need to do. After encrypting Text just reverse the parameters and run the Program again to decrypt the encrypted Text. } Program encrypt_Text; Var inText, outText : Text; st : String; Function ConvertTxt(s: String): String; Var x : Byte; begin ConvertTxt[0] := s[0]; For x := 1 to length(s) do ConvertTxt[x] := chr(ord(s[x]) xor (Random(128) or 128)); end; { ConvertTxt } begin RandSeed := 1234567;{ set to whatever value you wish - this is your "key" } assign(inText,ParamStr(1)); reset(inText); assign(outText,ParamStr(2)); reWrite(outText); While not eof(inText) do begin readln(inText,st); Writeln(outText,ConvertTxt(st)); end; close(inText); close(outText); end.
