Burrows Wheeler Transform (BWT)


I am having difficulties in grasping the decode algorithm for the Burrows Wheeler transform (BWT.) I've done reading online and went through some sample code, but, they all seem to be using a 'primary index' to decode an encoded string.

My question is, how can we decode a BWT encoded string like 'rdacraaaabb' to its original 'abracadabra'.

Some sample code would be wonderful.
