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

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Crypt2')
loCrypt = CreateObject('Chilkat.Crypt2')

lcS1 = "This is a test / = abc 123"

* 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:
lcS2 = loCrypt.ReEncode(lcS1,"ansi","url")
? lcS2

* Convert from URL-encoding to base64:

lcB64 = loCrypt.ReEncode(lcS2,"url","base64")
? lcB64

* Convert from base64 to hex:

lcHex = loCrypt.ReEncode(lcB64,"base64","hex")
? lcHex
