### UueArchive() {#UueArchive--}
```
public UueArchive()
```


Initializes a new instance of the [UueArchive](../../com.aspose.zip/uuearchive) class prepared for encoding.

The following example shows how to uuencode file.

```

``````

     try (UueArchive archive = new UueArchive()) {
         archive.setSource("data.bin");
         archive.save("archive.uue");
     }
 
```



### UueArchive(InputStream sourceStream) {#UueArchive-java.io.InputStream-}
```
public UueArchive(InputStream sourceStream)
```
