Text Save like this:

Introduction

i try write new string compressor but believe me it is not easy , i try save text in image RGB and move it in Gray but i find is not possible or get more bytes . In any case  i send this code for you. maybe save your time .

1. LoadText(click on com) : you can see your text in image like top image.
2. SaveImage:Click on image,save it.
3. LaodImage(Click on decom):you can save text save in image.

MainClass:

you can use  class  com & decom 

                com nbv = new com();
                nbv.doCompress(String, String);

Class Decom image

                decom nb = new decom();
                nb.doDeCompress(String,String);

Background

Using the code

This class put int word in RGB(X1,X2,X3) its less <255 ,Get square root of total letter that indicate size of the image  the value divided by three since each pixel contains 3 letter.

Quote:

Convert the character into ASCII value and add in letters collection

Mixed RGB IN Pixel(R,G,b)

This class get RGB color list And Convert the character

1. Get Red->Convert the character
2. Get Green->Convert the character
3. Get Blue->Convert the character

   class decom
    {
        public void doDeCompress(string FileImage,string FileText)
        {

            var lettersExtract = new List<int>(); // To hold extracted letters

            var bmp = new Bitmap(Bitmap.FromFile(FileImage)); 
            // Get the Image data to DeCompress

            for (int row = 1; row < bmp.Width; row++) // Indicates row number
            {

                for (int column = 1; column < bmp.Height; column++) 
               // Indicate column number
                {

                    var cr = bmp.GetPixel(row, column); 
                   // Get the pixel of the current row and column

                    lettersExtract.Add(cr.R); 
                   // Get the Red Value and Add in letterExtract collection

                    lettersExtract.Add(cr.G); 
                   // Get the Green Value and Add in letterExtract collection

                    lettersExtract.Add(cr.B); 
                   // Get the Blue Value and Add in letterExtract collection

                }

            }

            System.IO.StreamWriter(FileText,false,Encoding.Default)) 
                 // Open a text file to extract
            {

                foreach (int write in lettersExtract)

                        file.Write((Char)write);

Mix all data in GUI Windows:

i use openFileDialog and saveFileDialog .

• load text in RichTextBoxStream
• load temp image in PictureBox(PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage)
• click on image and save it(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory ,pictureBox.Image.Save(URL) ).

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
