Re-Encode (How to convert encodings)

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates how to convert a string from one encoding to another. Chilkat2-Python

import chilkat2

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

crypt = chilkat2.Crypt2()

# 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 = crypt.ReEncode(hex,"hex","base64")
print("base64: " + b64)

# Convert from base64 to base32
b32 = crypt.ReEncode(b64,"base64","base32")
print("base32: " + b32)

# Convert from base32 back to hex
hex = crypt.ReEncode(b32,"base32","hex")
print("hex: " + hex)
