Re-Encode (How to convert encodings)

See more Encryption Examples

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

#include <CkCrypt2.h>

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

    CkCrypt2 crypt;

    //  Here are some bytes as a hex string
    const char *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
    const char *b64 = crypt.reEncode(hex,"hex","base64");
    std::cout << "base64: " << b64 << "\r\n";

    //  Convert from base64 to base32
    const char *b32 = crypt.reEncode(b64,"base64","base32");
    std::cout << "base32: " << b32 << "\r\n";

    //  Convert from base32 back to hex
    hex = crypt.reEncode(b32,"base32","hex");
    std::cout << "hex: " << hex << "\r\n";
    }
