Re-Encode (How to convert encodings)

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates how to convert a string from one encoding to another. C

#include <C_CkCrypt2.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    HCkCrypt2 crypt;
    const char *hex;
    const char *b64;
    const char *b32;

    // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    crypt = CkCrypt2_Create();

    // Here are some bytes as a hex string
    hex = "4142434445462140232425";

    // The ReEncode method converts a string from one encoding to another.
    // Valid encodings are "url", "base64", "qp", "hex", "modbase64", "base64url", "base32", "base58",
    // and any of the encodings listed here:  http://cknotes.com/chilkat-binary-encoding-list

    // Convert from hex to base64
    b64 = CkCrypt2_reEncode(crypt,hex,"hex","base64");
    printf("base64: %s\n",b64);

    // Convert from base64 to base32
    b32 = CkCrypt2_reEncode(crypt,b64,"base64","base32");
    printf("base32: %s\n",b32);

    // Convert from base32 back to hex
    hex = CkCrypt2_reEncode(crypt,b32,"base32","hex");
    printf("hex: %s\n",hex);


    CkCrypt2_Dispose(crypt);
