  • ENCODINGS_TO_ATTEMPT

class DecodingAttempt

Manages the process of attempting to decode a chunk of bytes into a string using a specified encoding.

This class tries to decode the bytes using the provided encoding, handling both standard and custom decoding strategies (including multi-byte encodings and forced decoding attempts). It tracks the outcome, highlights the decoded output, and provides information about the decoding process.

Attributes:

  • bytes (bytes): The bytes (including context) to decode.
  • bytes_match (BytesMatch): The BytesMatch object containing match and context info.
  • encoding (str): The encoding to attempt.
  • encoding_label (str): Label for the encoding (may include offset info).
  • start_offset (int): Byte offset used for decoding (for multi-byte encodings).
  • start_offset_label (Optional[str]): String label for the offset, if used.
  • was_force_decoded (bool): True if a forced decode was attempted.
  • failed_to_decode (bool): True if decoding failed.
  • decoded_string (Text): The decoded string as a Rich Text object (with highlighting).
