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

    crypt := chilkat.NewCrypt2()

    // Here are some bytes as a hex string
    var hex *string = new(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")
    fmt.Println("base64: ", *b64)

    // Convert from base64 to base32
    b32 := crypt.ReEncode(*b64,"base64","base32")
    fmt.Println("base32: ", *b32)

    // Convert from base32 back to hex
    hex = crypt.ReEncode(*b32,"base32","hex")
    fmt.Println("hex: ", *hex)
