inpp example in helpfile (encrypted) and max key length

[r0n]

1)
In the helpfile: Mouse,, keys/text, dialogs >> inpp
mkMSITStore:f:\portableapps\quickmacrosportable_dev\App\QuickMacros\qm2help.chm::/Functions/IDP_INPP.html

Macro m1

Code:

Copy      Help

;;Ask for password, and throw error if entered password is not "bnfg" (in code it is encrypted):
if(!inpp("[*E12073E7509E09F804*]" "" "" 1)) end "password incorrect"

I assume that "bnfg" is ecnrypted to

Code:

Copy      Help

E12073E7509E09F804

But what decrypt key is used to decrypt E12073E7509E09F804 back to "bnfg"? (Is it an internal QM key?)
I also assume that the [* and *] is to indicate that the content within is those characters [* and *] is encrypted? (or are those characters also part of the encrypted string "bnfg" ?

For encryption I use Flag 1 and 8 => 1|8 (BlowFish+Hex)
Example below:

Macro m1

Code:

Copy      Help

str ss="STRING TO BE ENCRYPTED"
str encdec_key="WDF5GHHY66GMK12ZGBVMYWUZGAKTVNEZSIA1LS4FHVCPDA7FZMWCLI0N5NJPA7FOD3HEDSR" ;; key - encryption key. String of 1 to 56 characters length.
str encoded_string
str decoded_string
encoded_string.encrypt(1|8 ss encdec_key)

out encoded_string

decoded_string.decrypt(1|8 encoded_string encdec_key)

out decoded_string

In the helpfile:
mkMSITStore:f:\portableapps\quickmacrosportable_dev\App\QuickMacros\qm2help.chm::/str/IDP_S_ENCRYPT.html

key - encryption key. String of 1 to 56 characters length.

But the key in my example code ("encdec_key") is larger ten 56 characters.
Why do I not get error?
Does QM automatically truncate/trim key to 56 chars if key is larger then 56 chars? (trim from left or right?).

1. Yes, the key or whatever is internal. Yes, [**] means that E12073E7509E09F804 is an encrypted password.

2. Truncates from the right.

Aah! that makes it clear!
Thank you!
