How would you do this? I mean the OP IMHO does not show an encrypted
string, done with an OTP. OTPs nature is that it does not include
patterns and is totally random.

Even if this string is not encrypted and only encoded, how would one
get such pattern from plain text and convert it back to plain text?

It had been best if the OP had posted a reference URL ...
