PowerBuilder

integer li_rc
oleobject loo_Crypt
string ls_BcryptHash

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

loo_Crypt = create oleobject
li_rc = loo_Crypt.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.Crypt2")
if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_Crypt
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")
    return
end if

// The BCrypt cost factor (work factor) can be set to a value from 4 to 31.
// The default value is 10.  We'll set it here explicitly to the default value
// to make this new property known.  This line of code can be omitted
// if the default value of 10 is desired.
loo_Crypt.BCryptWorkFactor = 10

ls_BcryptHash = loo_Crypt.BCryptHash("mySecretPassword")
Write-Debug "BCrypt hash = " + ls_BcryptHash

// Sample output:
// BCrypt hash = $2a$10$H5kIVktMGzAPKGKNAe9DVu0iwEqfhv/o4MMJ/Dzw/MPy1leOE9NOK

// Note: Your output will be different because the BCryptHash method
// automatically generates a random salt.
