LZWCOMPRESS (uncompressed)


  • is any uncompressed string.

Description

  • This function gives the compressed value in its simplest form.
  • A quick examination of the algorithm shows that LZW is always trying to output codes for strings.
  • And each time a new code is output, a new string is added to the string table.

  1. LZWCOMPRESS("Ttestst a s") = 84 116 101 115 116 259 32 97 32 115
