Thank you Dar .
I have to store an image in a MySQL database and I was told I could store
the text... it is not gonna work ... I thought it was like that.... but I
wanted be sure that there was not a way to recover the imagedata from the
text.
So, I have to encode and decode the image data ... I tryed this way, but
unfortunately , when I decode image data and upload it in in the database,
some chars get lost.

Getting the "text" of an image and then later setting the imagedata to
that text indeed results in very much distorted images. What is probably
needed here would be property like he "formattedtext of image x".
When you compare the number of chars of the "text" of the image and the
number of chars of the imagedata you see that a lot of chars is missing
in the text.-
I used the scripts below in an experimental stack, which worked fine
with most pictures (that is, with very few pictures some lines are
missing at the bottom of the image, but otherwise the image is
undistorted - the reason for the missing lines escapes me).
A. Converting the imagedata to text:
"on mouseUp
put the imageData of image x into iData
put empty into imagetext
repeat for each char c in idata
put chartonum(C) into tc
put numtochar(tC) after imagetext
end repeat
put imagetext into fld "imagetext"
end mouseUp"
B. Setting the imagedata from the text:
"on mouseUp
put the imageData of image x into iData
put 0 into counter
put fld "imagetext" into tText
repeat for each char C in tText
add 1 to counter
put chartonum(char counter of tText) into tC
put numtochar(tC) into char counter of idata
end repeat
set the imageData of image x to iData
end mouseUp"
The important thing here is to first get the imagedata of the image in
which you want to display the stored imagetext data.
If you use - as a variation of the second script -
"put empty into idata" and " put numtochar(tC) after idata" in the above
script
you will get a picture, but also a very distorted one.
