    This is a common reaction to receiving criticism instead of praise when you publicly post code for others to review. I have a lot of code that works great for me, but no one else. If i did post such code, i would expect a number of criticisms, each one with the single intention of improving the code i posted so that many more people may use it. That code works great for you? Well, now it should work even better. I actually took the time to diff the output of your original code against what i changed and there was zero difference. Hopefully you will review what i posted and compare and contrast it to what you have, learn something new and improve your own skills.

    You are welcome. :)

    erichansen1836:

    Considering that the code takes no input and simply prints a fixed data sequence to a file, in what way does it encode anything?

    If "works great for me" means "it prints the fixed sequence I want", fine. But the misleading encoding/encrypting documentation should be removed. On the other hand, if the documentation specifies the intended functionality, you probably ought to finish writing the code.
