BitchX scripting function $decode()

decode
Function
$decode()
Notes
$encode($decode(text)) returns "text" $decode($encode(text)) returns "text" too. Yes. $decode(plain-text) does compress the data by a factor of 2. But it ignores non-ascii text, so use this as compression at your own risk and peril.
Usage
$decode(text)
Returns
If <text> was generated with $encode(), it returns the string you originally encoded. If it wasnt, you will probably get nothing useful in particular.
Example
$decode(GGGFCAGGGJCAGGGPCAGGHFGN) returns "fe fi fo fum"
