trancexx Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) I guess there is no need to explain what Base64 encoding is and what is used for.What is special about this way. Well, I did some testing and it turns that it's fast. About three times faster than the fastest way posted here on this forum (machine code implementation).It's calling functions "CryptBinaryToString" and "CryptStringToBinary" in Crypt32.dllI'm in the phase when discovering functions DllCall(), DllStructCreate(),... and related, so please be gentle to me, lolThere is no error checking mainly because of the sentence before this one. If someone is willing to add that to the code below (or correct possible mistakes), I'm willing to learn out of that. So, please do.Here's the script:Updated 29th October 2008 - error checking added and some code optimizationexpandcollapse popup$encoded = _Base64Encode("Testing") MsgBox(0, 'Base64 Encoded', $encoded) $decoded = _Base64Decode($encoded) MsgBox(0, 'Base64 Decoded - binary', $decoded) MsgBox(0, 'Base64 Decoded - string', BinaryToString($decoded)) Func _Base64Encode($input) $input = Binary($input) Local $struct = DllStructCreate("byte[" & BinaryLen($input) & "]") DllStructSetData($struct, 1, $input) Local $strc = DllStructCreate("int") Local $a_Call = DllCall("Crypt32.dll", "int", "CryptBinaryToString", _ "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($struct), _ "int", DllStructGetSize($struct), _ "int", 1, _ "ptr", 0, _ "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($strc)) If @error Or Not $a_Call[0] Then Return SetError(1, 0, "") ; error calculating the length of the buffer needed EndIf Local $a = DllStructCreate("char[" & DllStructGetData($strc, 1) & "]") $a_Call = DllCall("Crypt32.dll", "int", "CryptBinaryToString", _ "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($struct), _ "int", DllStructGetSize($struct), _ "int", 1, _ "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($a), _ "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($strc)) If @error Or Not $a_Call[0] Then Return SetError(2, 0, ""); error encoding EndIf Return DllStructGetData($a, 1) EndFunc ;==>_Base64Encode Func _Base64Decode($input_string) Local $struct = DllStructCreate("int") $a_Call = DllCall("Crypt32.dll", "int", "CryptStringToBinary", _ "str", $input_string, _ "int", 0, _ "int", 1, _ "ptr", 0, _ "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($struct, 1), _ "ptr", 0, _ "ptr", 0) If @error Or Not $a_Call[0] Then Return SetError(1, 0, "") ; error calculating the length of the buffer needed EndIf Local $a = DllStructCreate("byte[" & DllStructGetData($struct, 1) & "]") $a_Call = DllCall("Crypt32.dll", "int", "CryptStringToBinary", _ "str", $input_string, _ "int", 0, _ "int", 1, _ "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($a), _ "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($struct, 1), _ "ptr", 0, _ "ptr", 0) If @error Or Not $a_Call[0] Then Return SetError(2, 0, ""); error decoding EndIf Return DllStructGetData($a, 1) EndFunc ;==>_Base64DecodeThere is @CRLF every 64 chars in return of _Base64Encode(). _Base64Decode() will return binary data. That is intentional to avoid Chr(0) issue. Convert it to string using BinaryToString()Microsoft about requirements:Client - Requires Windows Vista or Windows XP.Server - Requires Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2003.

Difference is even bigger for larger files but that's too extreme, even to write about. btw, i got this poking dlls (out of curiosity) with thisOKOK, I will fix it. The newer base64 UDF crash because the formula to count the buffer size is wrong (A stupid bug). Thank you for reminding me. However, your time trial has a little problem. In fact, you are testing the speed of disk reading, autoit string handling, garbage collection and so on. Because the speed of base64 encoding is much faster than these actions. In following code I don't set dllstruct to 0, and then it should run as fast as using crypt32.dll. BTW, a better way to encode a file into base64 is to split it and encode part by part. Handling a huge string in script language is always slow. expandcollapse popupFunc _Base64Decode($Data) Local $Opcode = "0x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ocal $CodeBuffer = DllStructCreate("byte[" & BinaryLen($Opcode) & "]") DllStructSetData($CodeBuffer, 1, $Opcode) Local $Ouput = DllStructCreate("byte[" & BinaryLen($Data) & "]") Local $Ret = DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "CallWindowProc", "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($CodeBuffer), _ "str", $Data, _ "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($Ouput), _ "int", 0, _ "int", 0) Return BinaryMid(DllStructGetData($Ouput, 1), 1, $Ret[0]) EndFunc Func _Base64Encode($Data, $LineBreak = 76) Local $Opcode = "0x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ocal $CodeBuffer = DllStructCreate("byte[" & BinaryLen($Opcode) & "]") DllStructSetData($CodeBuffer, 1, $Opcode) $Data = Binary($Data) Local $Input = DllStructCreate("byte[" & BinaryLen($Data) & "]") DllStructSetData($Input, 1, $Data) $LineBreak = Floor($LineBreak / 4) * 4 Local $OputputSize = Ceiling(BinaryLen($Data) * 4 / 3) $OputputSize = $OputputSize + Ceiling($OputputSize / $LineBreak) * 2 + 4 Local $Ouput = DllStructCreate("char[" & $OputputSize & "]") DllCall("user32.dll", "none", "CallWindowProc", "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($CodeBuffer), _ "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($Input), _ "int", BinaryLen($Data), _ "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($Ouput), _ "uint", $LineBreak) Return DllStructGetData($Ouput, 1) EndFunc 新版 _ArrayAdd 的白痴作者,不管是誰,去死一死好了。 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trancexx Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 (edited) I absolutely love the simplicity of your machine code functions. I found them to be beautiful (like a beautiful woman). Probably I'm crazy and everything, khm, khm... You should make a tutorial on how to get machine code. Don't be lazy, do it. You should find rewarding having people learn of you. Yes, you are right, seems that now they are as fast. Return variable of DllStructCreate() in our case is local and releasing allocated memory by setting this variable to 0 is not needed. That was my thinking. Is this true, but completely true? About splitting... That should be done very consideringly to avoid possible mistakes due to the fact how base64 encoding is done (3 --> 4). Size of the portions would also depend on how long is every line of output sting (@CRLF we add for SMTP servers). So, portion lenght should be (4*3*LINE_BREAK)*n. "n" should be determined experimentally to accomplish best performance. Maybe would be faster, but looping with AutoIt is relatively slow... Someone should do it and test it. I updated first post (still no error checking).

LarsJ Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 The code in first post is a complete UDF.Since the code is only implementing wrapper functions for CryptBinaryToString and CryptStringToBinary in crypt32.dll, the code should be working, if the functions in the DLL are working (provided that the wrapper functions are coded correctly, but I think they are).Although this seems to be an old example, the age really has no meaning, since it's only wrapper functions. What has meaning in terms of age, is the age of the DLL. Even on my old XP crypt32.dll is dated 2013-10-07.

AXLE Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) Hi trancexx, is it OK if I use this routine in my scripts? If yes do you have a preferred credits/attribution name? or is trancexx acceptable attribute..

AXLE Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Also trancexx, separate question, I am adding some commenting to explain the CryptBinaryToString step by step etc (as commented UDF). In the https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/DllStructCreate.htm Example: ... ; Release the resources used by the structure. $tSTRUCT1 = 0 Should we release $struct = 0, $strc = 0, $a = 0 within the two Functions, or by the caller after the Func returns, or will the structures be automatically released in the same way as a Local $variable would be when the Func Returns? Just noticed that most other examples in the Help document don't seam to worry about releasing the structure after DllStructCreate, what do you think?

What you think ? Of course you can use it, that goes without saying. Crediting is a matter of courtesy, but don't worry too much about it. Destroying dllstruct is handled internally when variable that holds it goes out of the scope. There are rarely any need to release it manually. ♡♡♡ . eMyvnE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXLE Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Thank you trancexx, That's just me, I prefer to ask and attribute 😃 Also, I made some slight change with a flag for Binary|Textual inputs for _Base64Encode(...). I will send you a working copy when I am done 😃 Thanks for the heads up on the dllstuct release. Bit used to C where I need to be carefully about releasing resources and reading from ghost memory blocks. "Writing code to carry out an intended set of tasks is relatively easy.

garbb Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) From https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/wincrypt/nf-wincrypt-cryptbinarytostringa If you want, you can add CRYPT_STRING_NOCRLF (0x40000000) to the flags parameter to prevent the CRLF's in the output. Like this: expandcollapse popupFunc _Base64Encode($input) $input = Binary($input) Local $struct = DllStructCreate("byte[" & BinaryLen($input) & "]") DllStructSetData($struct, 1, $input) Local $strc = DllStructCreate("int") Local $a_Call = DllCall("Crypt32.dll", "int", "CryptBinaryToString", _ "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($struct), _ "int", DllStructGetSize($struct), _ "int", 1 + 0x40000000, _ "ptr", 0, _ "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($strc)) If @error Or Not $a_Call[0] Then Return SetError(1, 0, "") ; error calculating the length of the buffer needed EndIf Local $a = DllStructCreate("char[" & DllStructGetData($strc, 1) & "]") $a_Call = DllCall("Crypt32.dll", "int", "CryptBinaryToString", _ "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($struct), _ "int", DllStructGetSize($struct), _ "int", 1 + 0x40000000, _ "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($a), _ "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($strc)) If @error Or Not $a_Call[0] Then Return SetError(2, 0, ""); error encoding EndIf Return DllStructGetData($a, 1) EndFunc ;==>_Base64Encode Edited November 20, 2022 by garbb argumentum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
