Procedure Test
    Handle hoCrypt
    String sS1
    String sS2
    String sB64
    String sHex

    // 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

    Move "This is a test / = abc 123" To sS1

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

    // Use "ansi" for an unencoded ANSI string.

    // Encode to URL-encoding:
    Get ComReEncode Of hoCrypt sS1 "ansi" "url" To sS2
    Showln sS2

    // Convert from URL-encoding to base64:

    Get ComReEncode Of hoCrypt sS2 "url" "base64" To sB64
    Showln sB64

    // Convert from base64 to hex:

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