Making a macro that converts copied text into an encrypted cipher

[stackexchange]

Is there a way to create cipher text like ROT13 with a string in macro express? I want to be able to copy some text and modify this string and encrypt it with a cipher like ROT13.

Not with MEP commands. You would need to employ a separate app or script and control it with MEP. I use BCTextEncoder but it's slow. Probably a better one out there.

is there a way to do api calls to and from an url endpoint using macros?

You may want to try the new "HTTP Get" command in Macro Express Pro v 6.1.1.1. If it works for you please post here. I am curious to know how it works.

Doesn't Rot13 merely replace abc with nop and replace nop with abc -- Or does it do other stuff too??

 

It seems like you could make a macro do this...  Once a string was in a variable, do "modify string" and replace one letter at a time.  It wouldn't be any good to just replace all of the 'a' chars with 'm' because later when you change the 'm' chars to 'a',  the macro wouldn't know which m's to change into 'a' chars.  It would take a bit of trickery to get around this...
