MATHEMATICA IMPORT/EXPORT FORMAT

UUE (.enc, .uue)

Unix uuencoding format.
Encodes binary data as a sequence of printable ASCII characters.
Commonly used for the transmission of binary content by email.
The name uuencode is derived from Unix-to-Unix encoding.
ASCII format.
Uses printable ASCII characters to encode binary data.

Import and Export support the uuencoding format.

Import and Export Import and Export

Import["file.ext.uue"] imports a uuencoded .ext file.
Export["file.ext.uue", expr] exports an expression to a uuencoded .ext file.
Import["file.uue"] decodes a uuencoded file and imports its contents as an expression, automatically inferring the format from the file contents.
The import format can be given explicitly with Import["file", {"UUE", "format"}].
Import["file.ext.uue", elem] imports the specified element from a uuencoded .ext file.
Import["file.ext.uue", {elem, sub_a, sub_b, ...}] imports a subelement.
Import["file.ext.uue", {{elem₁, elem₂, ...}}] imports multiple elements.
The import format and file encoding can be explicitly specified with Import["file", {"UUE", "format", elems₁, elems₂, ...}].
Export["file.ext.uue", expr, elem] creates a uuencoded .ext file by treating expr as specifying element elem.
Export["file.ext.uue", {expr₁, expr₂, ...}, {{elem₁, elem₂, ...}}] treats each as specifying the corresponding .
Export["file.ext.uue", expr, opt₁->val₁, ...] exports expr with the specified option elements taken to have the specified values.
Export["file.ext.uue", {elem₁->expr₁, elem₂->expr₂, ...}, "Rules"] uses rules to specify the elements to be exported.
The export format and file encoding can be explicitly specified with Export["file", exprs, {"UUE", "format", elems}].
See the reference pages for full general information on Import and Export.
ImportString and ExportString support UUE encoding.
