    Declaration

    Source position: strutils.pp line 234

                   : Ansistring;

    Arguments

    Name Description
    Key Key to use when decoding.
    Source String to decode.

    Function result

    Hexadecimal representation of the XOR-encoded string.

    Description

    XorDecode decodes Source and returns the original string that was encrypted using XorEncode with key Key. If a different key is used than the key used to encode the string, the result will be unreadable.

    Errors

    If the string Source is not a valid XorEncode result (e.g. contains non-numerical characters), then a EConversionError exception will be raised.
