@Password (Formula Language)

Encodes a string.

Syntax

@Password( string )

Parameters

string

Text or text list. The string that you want encoded.

Return value

encodedString

Text or text list. The encoded string.

Usage

If the parameter is a list, the function operates on each element of the list, and the return value is a list with the same number of elements.

@Password is especially useful in an input translation formula to protect a user's password from being seen by others.

Note: There is no way to decode the original string once it has been encoded by @Password.
Note: Strings that begin with an open parenthesis "(" are not encoded.
