    Returns the (unencoded binary) encrypted text, which is typically

    base-64 encoded for use in a message.

    Parameters:

    pem_pkey -

                            a text expression that supplies a RSA public key in the
    

    PEM format. If the text value is not a valid PEM RSA PUBLIC KEY

    encoding, an Undef error will occur. Example (a 1024-bit public key):

    "-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY-----" +

    * PKEY_ENCRYPT_PEM(text_tpem_pkey)

    Encrypts the input text using the RSA public key provided by the PEM string

    and the RSA_PKCS1_PADDING padding method. The input text to be encrypted

    cannot be longer than the public key length minus 11 bytes for padding.

    For example, for a 1024-bit (128 byte) key, the input text cannot be

    longer than 128 - 11 = 117 bytes. An Undef error will occur if the input

    text is too long. A null input will also cause an Undef error.

    expression library. Look at sip://www.pcre.org/pcre.txt for

    documentation on the regular expression syntax. In particular,

    look at the pcrepattern man page.





    There are some differences in the allowed syntax w.r.t PCRE syntax.

    Backreferences are not allowed. It is recommended to not use

    recursive regular expressions. The dot metacharacter matches

    newlines also. Unicode is not supported. SET_TEXT_MODE(IGNORECASE)

    overrides the (?i) internal option specified in the regular

    expression.





    The PCRE library configuration can be seen in the system log, after

    executing 'nsapimgr -B" call ns_pixl_regex_show_config()"' at the

    shell prompt.





    Some examples:

    • HTTP.REQ.HOSTNAME.REGEX_MATCH(re/[[:alpha:]]+(abc){2,3}/)
    <li></li>HTTP.REQ.URL.SET_TEXT_MODE(URLENCODED).REGEX_MATCH(re#(a*b+c*)#)
    
    <li></li>HTTP.REQ.URL.REGEX_MATCH(re/a(?i)b/) matches ab and aB
    
    <li></li>HTTP.REQ.URL.SET_TEXT_MODE(IGNORECASE).REGEX_MATCH(re/ab/) matches
    
        ab, aB, Ab and AB
    
    <li></li>HTTP.REQ.BODY.REGEX_MATCH(re/(?ixm)  (^ab (.*) cd$) /) does a
    
        case-insensitive, multiline match where the dot
    
        metacharacter matches newline also. The regex itself
    
        can contain whitespace which will be ignored during
    
        the matching (x - extended regex).

    many Text operations. The Text mode settings may also

    control the behavior of some operations in objects (like

    List) that build upon the Text object.

    IGNORECASE, NOIGNORECASE - controls whether string

    comparison is case sensitive or not.

    URLENCODED - If set then all Text operations are

    carried out after translating all %HH or %uHHHH encodings in the

    underlying byte stream.

    1. %HH will be translated to the character Y where HH denotes the

      ascii value of character Y in hexadecimal.

      For example, the encoded text "http%3a//" will be decoded to

      "http://"

    2. %uWWHH will be translated to the character sequence YZ where

      WW denotes the ascii value of character Y in hexadecimal and HH

      denotes the ascii value of character Z in hexadecimal.

      For example, the encoded text "http%u3a2f/" and "http%u003a//"

      will both be decoded to"http://"

    NOURLENCODED - Indicates that no percent encodings are present in

    the Text object. No percent decoding will be performed on the Text

    object.

    PLUS_AS_SPACE - If set then all Text operations are carried out

    after converting occurrences of the plus character to whitespace.

    For example, the text "hello+world" will be decoded to "hello world"

    NO_PLUS_AS_SPACE - If set, then the plus character will not be

    converted to whitespace in the Text object.

    BACKSLASH_ENCODED - If set, then all Text operations are carried

    out after performing the following operations:

    1. \XXX will be translated to the character Y where XXX denotes the

      ascii value of character Y in octal. The valid range of octal

      values for this type of encoding is \0 to \377.

      For example, the encoded text "http\72//" and "http\072//" will

      both be decoded to "http://"

    2. \xHH will be translated to the character Y where HH denotes the

      ascii value of character Y in hexadecimal.

      For example, the encoded text "http\x3a//" will be decoded to

      "http://"

    3. \uWWXX will be translated to the character sequence YZ where WW

      denotes the ascii value of character Y in hexadecimal and XX

      denotes the ascii value of character Z in hexadecimal.

      For example, the encoded text "http%u3a2f/" and "http%u003a//"

      will both be decoded to"http://"

    4. Occurences of "\b", "\n", "\t", "\f" and "\r" are translated to

      the corresponding ascii characters.

    NO_BACKSLASH_ENCODED - If set, then backslash decoding will not be

    performed on the Text object.

    BAD_ENCODE_RAISE_UNDEF - If set, then UNDEF is raised if either the

    URLENCODED or BACKSLASH_ENCODED mode is set and a bad encoding

    corresponding to the specified encoding mode is encountered.

    NO_BAD_ENCODE_RAISE_UNDEF - If set, then UNDEF will not be raised

    when a bad encoding is encountered in the Text object.

    The Text operations operate on characters (as opposed to operating

    on bytes). By default a single byte represents a character

    using the ASCII encoding. But if URLENCODED mode is set then

    3 bytes may represent a character. A PREFIX(3) operation

    will select the first 3 characters in the Text object. That

    means it may select up to 9 bytes for URLENCODED Text

    object.

    In the case of multibyte decodings as a result of %uXXXX or \uXXXX,

    Text operations which attempt to treat the multiple decoded bytes as

    distinct characters are not allowed.

    For few of the important AVPs we provide aliases.

    For example this AVP based expression can also be written as

    IGNORE_EMPTY_ELEMENTS on a Name-Value List. You can use the

    Name-value List operations to access cookie attributes.

    In this type Text operations are also available.



    Each cookie begins with a COOKIE_NAME=COOKIE_VALUE pair followed by

    zero or more semi-colon separated attribute-value pairs. If an

    Returns: double_at

    * TYPECAST_DOUBLE_T(double_format_eformat)

    Convert text_t to double_t. Will raise an undef if the value is null, empty, or the value has an invalid format for the destination type. (double_t : Treat the underlying text as a Double in the given format. The

    supported formats are DECIMAL, DECIMAL_PREFIX. All

    the formats strip off the beginning white space. DECIMAL

    also strips off trailing white space. DECIMAL requires that all

    Some general information regarding IPv6 expressions:

    IPv6 PIXL expressions can be combined with other PIXL expressions

    using the '+' operator.  The output is expected to be the
    
    concatenation of the string representations of the individual PIXL
    
    expressions.  No other operator other than '+' is expected to work
    
    when any of the operands is an IPv6 PIXL expression.  Also, IPv6
    
    PIXL expressions can be combined with any other type of PIXL
    
    expression except a PIXL expression that produces a bool result.
    
    In other words, if A and/or B are two IPv6 addresses, A+B should result
    
    in the string AB.  When one of A or B is an IPv6 address, the other
    
    can only be a number or a string and not a boolean.  Further, when
    
    A and/or B is an IPv6 address, the only operator allowed between
    
    them is '+'.
    
    <br /><br /><br /><br />Example: Let the client source IPv6 address be ABCD:1234::ABCD.
    
    Let the server destination IPv4 address be 10.100.10.100.
    
    Then the expression CLIENT.IPV6.SRC + SERVER.IP.DST should
    
    produce the output "ABCD:1234::ABCD10.100.10.100".
    
    <br /><br />Similarly, CLIENT.IPV6.SRC + 5 should produce the result
    
    ABCD:1234::ABCD5)</p><p><b>Returns: </b><a href="/en-us/adc-advanced-policy-expression-reference/13-0/ipv6_address_at/ipv6_address_at.html">ipv6_address_at</a></p></div></div></div><div><div><p><b>* </b><b>TYPECAST_IPV6_ADDRESS_T</b></p><div><p>Convert text_t to ipv6_address_t.
