; Demonstrates how to convert a string to the GSM character set byte representation.

Local $s = "support@chilkatsoft.com, {abc}"

; In the above string the a-z letters have the same 1-byte values in the GSM character set.
; The '@' character is the 0x00 byte in GSM.
; The curly brace chars are 2-bytes each in GSM -- each beginning with the 0x1B escape char.
; The '.', ' ', and ',' are the same in GSM as us-ascii.

; Let's convert to GSM.

; bdGsm will contain the GSM bytes.
$oBdGsm = ObjCreate("Chilkat.BinData")

; Append the string to bdGsm.  The 2nd arg "gsm" tells AppendString to
; convert the incoming string to the gsm byte representation.
Local $bSuccess = $oBdGsm.AppendString($s,"gsm")

; Let's examine what we have in hex:
ConsoleWrite($oBdGsm.GetEncoded("hex") & @CRLF)

; The result is:  737570706F7274006368696C6B6174736F66742E636F6D2C201B286162631B29

; Save the GSM bytes to a file.
$bSuccess = $oBdGsm.WriteFile("qa_output/gsm.txt")
