Implements an encoder using the UUEncode algorithm.

TIdEncoderUUEBase = class(TIdEncoder3to4)

TIdEncoderUUEBase is a TIdEncoder3to4 descendant that implements an encoder that uses the UUEncode algorithm. TIdEncoderUUEBase provides the basic facilities needed to encode binary data into a 7-bit US-ASCII representation.

TIdEncoderUUEBase uses the same 3-byte to 4-bytes encoding algorithm used in TIdEncoder3to4. TIdEncoderUUEBase adds the ability to calculate and encode UUEncode body line format, which consists of the encoded length followed by the encoded data.

TIdEncoderUUEBase is used by other Indy coder classes, such as TIdMessageEncoderUUE, that handles UUEncoded message streams in RFC 822-compliant mail messages.

Implements the UUEncode encoding algorithm with support for body line formatting.

function Encode(ASrcStream: TStream; const ABytes: integer = MaxInt): string; override;

Stream containing values to UUEncoded.

Number of bytes to be affected by the UUEncode algorithm.

String - UUEncode length byte and data from the encoding algorithm.

Encode is a overridden String function in TIdEncoderUUEBase that implements creation of UUEncoded result values that include the encoded length and content in the UUEncode body line format. Encode calls the inherited Encode method.
