Decompress a longstring with inflate (String class)
[Introduced in Sirius Mods 7.4]
This function takes a result from Deflate (a compressed string) and decompresses it using the "inflate" algorithm. The inflate algorithm is described as part of the deflate specification in RFC 1951.
Syntax
%outString = string:Inflate Throws InvalidDeflateData
Syntax terms
| %outString | The resulting decompressed string. |
|---|---|
| string | The compressed string to be decompressed. |
Exceptions
Inflate can throw the following exception:
- InvalidDeflateData
- This exception indicates that the method object string does not contain a valid Deflate string compression output.
Usage notes
- The NCMPBUF parameter must be set to a non-zero value during Model 204initialization to allow use of the Inflate function; otherise, invoking Inflate causes request cancellation.
Examples
In the following example, %out is set to the original string (How much..chuck):
%temp = 'How much wood could a woodchuck chuck':deflate(fixedCode=true) %out = %temp:Inflate
