Crypto.Rot13

string Crypto.Rot13 ( 

string Text )

Description

Applies a simple Ceaser-cypher ("rot13") encryption to the text.

The simple Caesar-cypher encryption replaces each English letter with the one 13 places forward or back along the alphabet, so that "Indigo Rose is cool!" becomes "Vaqvtb Ebfr vf pbby!" In other words, it "rotates" the alphabet ahead 13 characters. Most Usenet news reading and posting programs include a rot13 feature to hide text from plain sight so the user must choose to view it. (For example, to hide "spoilers" -- information that gives away some secret that readers might not want to know if they haven't already read the book, played the game, etc.)

A nice feature of rot13 is that the same action is used to encrypt and decrypt the text.

Parameters

Text

(string) The text that you want to encrypt (or decrypt).

Returns

ResultVariable

When adding an action with the action editor, you can use this field to specify a variable that the return value will be stored in.
