Md5 encoding in sketchup

[schorradt]

Hello,

I need a function to a string md5 encoded within Ruby Sketchup.

Can someone help me?

Think you need to copy the md5 methods from a full Ruby 1.8.0 package. Should be located under digest/md5

[schorradt]

I have the digest.so and md5.so placed in the to the plugins directory.
I try it with
require 'digest'

but i get an errormessage:
Error Loading File mx_eftools.rb
uninitialized constant MX_eftools::Eftool

Does it ever so? or I do something wrong?

The .so-files come from the following package: \ruby-1.9.1-P376-i386-mswin32.zip\lib\ruby\1.9.1\i386-mswin32\

I'd recommend matching the package in SU, which is Ruby 1.8.0. Look in the old repositories.

thx... it works
but its not easy to get an old version of ruby...
oldversion.com is goood

Think I got mine from http://www.oldapps.com/Ruby.php?old_ruby=12

Hello

I'm also trying to use a md5 hash in sketchup, but I can't find the good code to do it.
I copied the digest.so and md5.so files in the sketchup plugin directory.
Than I tried the following code :

require 'digest'
Digest;;MD5.hexdigest("Hello World\n")

and the ruby console displays me the following error : uninitialized constant Digest::MD5>

Can somebody help me please ?

These files do not belong in the "Plugins" dir. The should stay in the Ruby "lib" & platform dirs, and you should add those paths onto the $LOAD_PATH array.

These so files also need "digest.rb" and "digest/sha2.so" (at least in Ruby 1.8.6-p287,.. where "md5.rb" is no longer needed.)
