My first real post....

Lets say i got a String of mixed characters, digits/letters/decimalpoints etc. and it´s encrypted.

I have to run them through a for-loop to DEcrypt them, one character at a time.

The first crypt-key is already supplied to ENcrypt the first String "A@F", it´s "113", and i´m supposed
to get the second key by ENcrypting the first String.

There is actually two Strings that are supposed to be handled through for-loops i guess, i just went fed-up
with the first one, (after 7 hours) i just wanted to move on coding, so i went on and did a temporary solution.

And now, another 5 hours later, im posting here...i need help.

I think i could handle the rest, somewhat, if i only got some pointers on how to loop the Strings....

i´m quite new at this and i just can´t find any way to go about it....

ah well..*sighs*
here is the code, so far.....

 
public class Crypt
{
	public static final String MYSTERIOUS_MESSAGE = "Vcpeexb01Ud1ypc1}hrzpeb?";
	
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{ 
		
		String encryptString1 = "A@F";
		int firstKey = 113;
		Crypto crypto = new Crypto();
		crypto.enCrypt(encryptString1, firstKey);
		String decryptString1 = MYSTERIOUS_MESSAGE;
		int lengthChar1 = MYSTERIOUS_MESSAGE.length();
		crypto.deCrypt(decryptString1, lengthChar1);
	}
}
class Crypto 
{
	private int actualKey;
	
	public Crypto()
	{
		actualKey = 0;
		
	}
	public int enCrypt (String encryptString1,int firstKey)
	{
		this.actualKey = firstKey;
		char char0 = encryptString1.charAt(0);					//temp solution
		char char1 = encryptString1.charAt(1);					//temp
		char char2 = encryptString1.charAt(2);					//temp
		char encryptedChar0 = (char)(char0 ^ actualKey);   //temp
		char encryptedChar1 = (char)(char1 ^ actualKey);   //temp
		char encryptedChar2 = (char)(char2 ^ actualKey);   //temp
		String decryptKeyNext = "" + encryptedChar0 + encryptedChar1 + encryptedChar2; 
		actualKey = Integer.parseInt(decryptKeyNext);
		
		return actualKey;
	}
		public void deCrypt(String decryptString1,int lengthChar1)
		{
			for ()
			{
				for ()				 																																					
				
			}
		}
}

When you say loop the strings, I guess you mean loop through the characters of the string which you actually already do in your encrypt method so it's not much more difficult o do it in the decrypt-method.

Just find out the length of the string (cryptotext) and loop

for (int i = 0; i < lengthChar1; i++) {
char tmpchar = (char) decryptString1.charAt(i);
[Do something with tmpchar here]
}

So this is were you are coming from ?
So now that we all know about it you can put it in your profile. It helps for time zone calculations during messages exchanges.

Try, so we know where to send all our generous contributions (money that is) and I'll consider it..

Are you still with Crowns or you switched to Euro ?

[Gloin]

Sadly, we still have Crowns. It's stupid, stupid I tell you!

There always a positive point: that keeps the Currency Exchange bureaus in railways and ferry boat stations opened

we grow on trees u know....

Thanks for your help , i figured it out for myself though, cut away alot of code, and started again.

I came up with something similar to yours, but thanks anyway.....
