string ls_S1
string ls_S2
string ls_B64
string ls_Hex

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

loo_Crypt = create oleobject
// Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.Crypt2" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0
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

ls_S1 = "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:
ls_S2 = loo_Crypt.ReEncode(ls_S1,"ansi","url")
Write-Debug ls_S2

// Convert from URL-encoding to base64:

ls_B64 = loo_Crypt.ReEncode(ls_S2,"url","base64")
Write-Debug ls_B64

// Convert from base64 to hex:

ls_Hex = loo_Crypt.ReEncode(ls_B64,"base64","hex")
Write-Debug ls_Hex
