Procedure Test
    Handle hoCrypt
    String sHex
    String sB64
    String sB32

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

    Get Create (RefClass(cComChilkatCrypt2)) To hoCrypt
    If (Not(IsComObjectCreated(hoCrypt))) Begin
        Send CreateComObject of hoCrypt
    End

    // Here are some bytes as a hex string
    Move "4142434445462140232425" To sHex

    // 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
    Get ComReEncode Of hoCrypt sHex "hex" "base64" To sB64
    Showln "base64: " sB64

    // Convert from base64 to base32
    Get ComReEncode Of hoCrypt sB64 "base64" "base32" To sB32
    Showln "base32: " sB32

    // Convert from base32 back to hex
    Get ComReEncode Of hoCrypt sB32 "base32" "hex" To sHex
    Showln "hex: " sHex
